The innovative Hybrid reel seat combines the advantages of both composite and machined seats, offering an ideal solution for carp, surf, and saltwater rods. It features a carbon machined body with a ‘C’ channel design for snug reel foot seating, lightweight locking hoods with cushions, and compatibility with a variety of top-end reels.
The carbon body flexes with the rod blank, preventing shutoff points and potential breakage during heavy casting, unlike full-body aluminum seats. It also ensures better carbon-to-carbon bonding and eliminates the discomfort of holding a cold metal tube during colder fishing conditions.
The Hybrid seat’s aluminum rear thread and double-locking nuts provide a secure lock, preventing reel rocking during continuous casting—a common issue with inferior designs. Available in numerous OEM combinations, the Hybrid reel seat caters to anglers and brands seeking a unique and reliable product.
