Reelseat Material

[Phat Tuna]

Paul,
Thanks for the other help. Just lookin around and caught this thread. The only problem I have with metal reel seats is the galvanic corosion. I have two tiny pits on my metal reel seats and now I tape it during the season and occasionally take the reels off and inspect. I agree that they are a little more maintainance. Graphite I like on my lighter stuff.

so far i have heard more metal seat failures .than composite
different reasons, but mostly something to do with the threads or corrision
