Reelseat ! Where to find ?

[Drisse]

I have an old Sportex 30lbs rod with a broken reelseat. The pin inside the reelseat that centers the blank is broken. Had in mind to drill a new hole and replace it. But the pin is at the same place as the adjustable thing where you put the reelfoot..... I don't know the word in english . Any ideas ? I haven't seen this kind of reelseat in any stores. Is this kind of reelseat called anything special so I can search ?

It is a locking ferruled reelseat. I believe Pacbay males one. Lakeland also made them but would prob be hard to find. Might have to keep your eye on ebay...
Good luck

Stuart also makes them but Mudhole does not list them.  They will special order but I found it's easier to call Stewart and deal with them, they are easy to do business with.
