Andrews and matagi reels seats

[Tim Robinson]

I'm building up 2 Bass casting rods and looking for an online supplier of Matagi parts , not handle kits just seats and trim rings .
Also building up a 5'4" spin stick. I was going to use sliding rings on a 100% cork grip-seat but then I saw the Andrews seat in these pics. I love the dark timber and silver. Has anyone used these or know where I can easily get them. The matagi site is a bit of a nightmare to navigate and is my last resort.
Thanks in advance TIM

G'day Tim,

Mate the best way to get these components is to contact Mamoru at questions_Matagi_Japan [questions@matagi.co.jp]. I would attach these photos and tell him you want the same. He is excellent to deal with and the turn around time is about 2 weeks. You will also have to carefully measure where you want your reel and grip positions so you can then order your winding checks at the same time. There are a couple of Aussie suppliers of the winding checks (Ross at The Rodworks and Tony Davis at Fishfinder in Sydney) but I don't think they carry the components you want for these rods.

Ross from the www.therodworks.com.au does a Matagi order about every month - send him an email with the pics as well and he can back to you with prices etc. I have received matagi gear from Ross and have a current order with him for some more...
