Wiebe Reel Seat? After Market Copies?

When production rods are not enough, it's time to go custom. Come share your experiences building and/or ordering a custom rod and tell us if you'll ever go back to off the shelf.

Wiebe Reel Seat? After Market Copies?

Post by Ghost » Thu Sep 01, 2016 3:14 pm

Just wondering if such a thing exist. 

I'm looking for a reel seat that the reel sits low. I have an older Daiwa Light & Tough rod that the reel sits lower. 

I have a couple round reels that I prefer the reel seat to be as low as possible. 

Any help or advice?

If I recall correctly, they are now called Super Sticker seats. I ordered a few years ago. I haven't noticed them recently, but haven't been looking for them. Anglers Workshop was where I purchased them.

Mudhole quit selling them around 2 years ago if I recall correctly. That's the only source I've ever seen for them, sorry.

I thought they have always been called super stickers? Great reel seats, Loomis used to build his factory rods in them
