i talked glen struble into making that cap with a NS end piece as an option in the late 80's and they are still available. you might have to call struble corp in portland OR.

if the entire RS was made of NS it would weigh a half pound. okay, i exaggerate but it would be ridiculously heavy. aluminum SL hardware was good enough for thomas, leonard, payne, orvis,dickerson, garrison, gillum,...

The only issue I have with the Struble is that part of the hardware is nickle silver, and the other part is aluminum. If you are going to blue the hardware, it's tough to get a good color match in the bluing. They do offer the same reel seat with the aluminum part black anodized, but that might make it even harder to blue the NS end cap to the same color.

I don't make my own seat hardware and would like to find a seat with larger/wider thread pitch like seen on some bigger older rods. Is this avail. anywhere?
