Has anyone checked out the textured reelseats byBatson (http://www.batsonenterprises.com/components/seat-casting.php) I think I'm realy going to like these new reel seats. When I first felt the seat at the rod buildin fling I expected the surface to have a rougher texture, not realy...but after inspecting it better at home I see that it feels more like a rubber grip not as hard as your ordinary reel seats....I was told that some major manufacturers will be using them soon.
