I am getting all my bits and bobs together for my next build which will be a matching pair of 10wt rods.
I want the rods to be saltwater proof so i am looking for a nice aluminium or dare i say it Titanium reel seat.
I have had my eye on a pair of ALPS reel seats but they are hard to find in the UK in the size and colours i want.

The problem is the overall selection in the UK is pretty poor.

Anyone know of any secret suppliers i have not discovered in the UK or a trusted supplier in the US?

I am also open to ideas regarding reel seat selection but i do like a bit of bling so the fancier the better.

Not sure about bling points, but gunmetal blue... integrated hook keeper grooves... bomb-proof
Struble U18 HG Blue - Reel Seats - Reel Seats

I have seen these reel seats but i dont like the idea of using the hook keepers.
Surely the hook must scratch the anodised finish?
