I build mostly spinning rod setups, but I am venturing into the conventional setups. Building a arra 1205 and want reccomendations on a real good reel seat. Proably a shimano reel will be used. Anyt help greatly appreciated.

Fuji

I have a nice white seat I bring fishing...:bgi:

Fuji, Pac Bay or Forecast Graphite seat all hold about the same. The nut has a tendance to back off at the worst times. Forecast makes an alloy seat that I've been using. It light and has a lower profile than the camparetive aftco seat. Thin with a double lock nut so nothing can come loose.

Thank you for the answers. I usually make my rods with FUJI, but I just wanted to investigate a little more.

Definitely a fuji
