    Reel seat for Chimera 1

    By your description you are most probably looking for a IPS DU6 (16mm internal diameter). There are a number of alternatives available from other manufacturers other than Fuji). A number of Fuji parts are interchangeable. Best of luck, Cheers Bob

    Evoke blanks

    The fellow rod builder mentioned in the thread (Andy Sliwa) has made a number of the Evoke 11' Twin rods and have been very well received and popular - as are the big river Evoke 2.5 12'.

    Harrison Torrix custom vs factory made

    Harrison Chimera 2 - 1.75 New Build.

    Thanks Rich. I've used loads of IPS but for a less bulky feel I prefer the Fuji VSS. There are quite a few seats offered by other manufacturers that might fit the bill.
