Just finished building a 5wt and 8wt Iconoglass and now looking to build a 10wt for saltwater use. Looking for reel seat suggestions with an ID large enough that doesn’t require fitting a stent. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
BTW: That 5wt Iconoglass performs fantastic on early spring Deschutes River redsides here in Oregon. I gave it to a fishing buddy to indoctrinate him on the beauty of fishing glass and he’s now hooked.

nice! that 5wt is waiting in the wings once I get around to finishing a couple of others...I had someone else build my 10wt. I'll check with him to see what he put on it. If I recall, there were only a couple available with that large of an I.D.

If using an all metal version with that having a .594 butt OD any of the Lemke LC20, 25, 26, TITA 687 or TITA740 will work in that application. If an insert style is preferred, then one would have to use the LC26 skeleton to maintain enough insert wall thickness for the recessed barrel

still haven't heard back, but also measure your OD to make sure it is what it's listed as (I'd be doing this with any blank, but especially glass blanks).

Thanks all for the input. It does sound like the Lemke LC20, 25 and 26 models should work but measuring the butt first is a good precaution. Luckily for me NFC is only a 30 minute drive from my house so I can pick up blanks in person.
