Precision Crafted Performance: The Pac Bay A6-B Milled Aluminum Fly Reel Seat
For the custom rod builder who demands precision, durability, and a flawless aesthetic, the Pac Bay A6-B Milled Aluminum Fly Reel Seat is the benchmark for quality. Engineered not just to hold your reel, but to become an integral, high-performance part of your custom fly rod, the A6-B delivers the reliability and refined finish your craft deserves.
Crafted from a solid billet of marine-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, the A6-B is a testament to modern manufacturing. The CNC milling process ensures exacting tolerances, resulting in a lightweight yet incredibly strong frame that provides a rock-solid foundation for your reel. Its uplocking design with dual knurled locking rings guarantees your reel stays seated securely, cast after cast, preventing frustrating reel wobble during critical moments on the water.
The "B" designation signifies a sleek, non-reflective black hard-anodized finish. This Type III anodization creates a tough, scratch-resistant surface that stands up to the rigors of both freshwater and light saltwater environments, protecting against corrosion and wear while adding a touch of understated elegance to your build.
