Fly rod reel seat in black with a blue spacer
If you’re looking for a fly rod reel seat with a black main body and a blue spacer, here are some options and considerations:
1. Pre-Made Options
Several manufacturers offer reel seats with black hardware and blue accents/spacers. Some popular brands include:
– REC Reel Seats – High-end aluminum reel seats with customizable spacer colors (blue available).
– PacBay – Affordable options with black anodized seats and blue spacers.
– Fuji – Offers DPS reel seats with black frames and colored inserts (may have blue variants).
– Struble – Premium reel seats with black hardware and colored spacers (check for blue).
2. Custom Build Option
If you can’t find a pre-made version, you could:
– Buy a black reel seat (e.g., uplocking or downlocking) and pair it with a blue spacer (available from rod-building suppliers like Mud Hole, Jann’s Netcraft, or Proof Fly Fishing).
– Some reel seats allow you to swap out the spacer (e.g., REC, Struble).
3. DIY Modification
– If you have a black reel seat with a removable spacer, you could dye or paint a spacer blue (using rod-building epoxy or anodizing for metal).
