Title: Newell 344-5
Post by: Sunshine475 on December 02, 2023, 12:22:57 AM
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?

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?

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.

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
