Title: Universal reel clamp for long reel foot
Post by: teff35 on August 09, 2025, 10:53:02 PM
Hello,

I have been looking for a universal reel clamp that will accommodate the reel foot of an Akios shuttle. I have tried the tiburon and DFS and both are too short for the reel foot of the Akios shuttle.

Anyone know of a reel clamp that would work?

Much appreciated!

Is DFS Duran?  I have a few different Duran clamps, post the measurement and I'll check

Swami,

Thank you for that. Yes DFS is Duran.

The reel foot is 3 1/16 inches.

Thank you,

I have a akios frame on an abu, I see what you're talking about, the way the foot is part of the frame so there's not enough clearance for the clamp. That's going to be a tough one. If you're wanting to use a deck hand handle maybe check out a plate reel seat

Swami,

Thanks for your help there. Ya it is tough.

I see some of the European guys have these two separate clamps/wraps for their reels but I can't find anything like that online.

If anyone knows what that is and where I can get them it's much appreciated.
