Struble Reel Seats, Agates, Winding Checks & More!
Struble Manufacturing Company of Portland, Oregon, a leading manufacturer of reel seats for over 30 years, makes a vast array of quality reel seats from modestly priced aluminum to classic knurled nickel silver. We selected a few styles - all complementing cane rods - and carry these in stock - other models available by special order. AND ALL STRUBLE PRODUCTS MADE IN THE USA!
D-2 Cap and Ring seats feature a straight knurled slide band and end cap with a generously mortised spacer. Available in polished aluminum and polished or darkened nickel silver. These seats are 3 3/8" long with a barrel OD of .685 and a .360 bore.
Struble D-2 in Aluminum, Black and Bright N.S.
The D-27 Cap and Ring seats are the best Struble offers and feature fine, delicate knurling of the slide band and end cap, both of which are beautifully flared and polished. The spacers are generously mortised and can even hold reels with thick brass ribbed feet, like the old Hardy Perfect reels! If you don't care to blue your own hardware, the D-27 can be supplied in a durable dark finish. These seats are 3 3/8" long with a barrel OD of .685 and a .360 bore.
Struble D27 in Dark and Bright N.S.
The U-8 is a high quality uplocking screw lock seat. The locking ring features a nice diamond knurl and the threads are fine and well polished. Struble uses a unique design for the slide band that features a slide band with a hood, which makes mortising the spacer unnecessary. So if you are a rodmaker that likes to turn your own spacers, it's a snap! Just buy the metal and turn your own. The U-8 can be supplied in a durable dark finish. These seats are approximately 3 ¾" long, with a barrel OD of .685 and a .360 bore.
Struble U8 in Dark N.S.
The U-3 is a polished aluminum screw lock seat. With a slide band design similar to the U-8 (described above). These seats are approximately 3 ¾" long, with a barrel OD of .685 and a .360 bore. An inexpensive alternative.
