Newell 344-5

[Sunshine475]

Good afternoon,

I'm looking for (2) reel seats for sale. I have red reels but at this point I don't care the color. Any leads I can try will be a huge help.

Do you mean the base of the reel or the clamp that screws onto it?

[Bryan Young]

I likely have it. Let me pull my 344 so I can get the width.  Are you looking for Graphite, aluminum, or composite with stamped SS?

[Sunshine475]

Sorry for the confusion I'm looking for the base.

[Sunshine475]

Hope this helps as well

No luck here, I have 338 size. But not that one. Pretty common failure on the red newells, I have a couple red 332 bases with cracks in the screw holes, don't know if it's the material or just sloppy injection or both.

Thanks for looking, I seen a few reels with aluminum parts do you know who makes them ?

[Swami805]

Cortez conversions makes one that 2.75 inches in aluminum. He's on here with n the for sale section. Has some other Newell parts too. I think they're in the Penn parts but they fit Newells

Let me take a look tomorrow.

I have several bases, all graphite. See photo.

Sent you a PM as well.
