Eric not to hugh jack thread, where did u find a soft touch reel seat? I checked and haven't seen one available. By the way, beautiful build. I built the same blank for a club member a couple years ago. Very surprise on the ease of cast ability and how great it worked 3+ oz pencils.

Hi guys, thanks.

I ordered the Soft Touch DPS from Japan (Matagi) a couple years ago, along with a nice custom painted one that went on a 1321M.

This is a great blank, it's a cannon, actually. I've gotten over 180 yards on it with a bank sinker on a measured grass field.
