Granger slide band dimensions

#1

Post by akube »

A few years ago I made some Granger slide band reproductions for a series of rods Scott Whitman made. I have been asked to make a couple more for another collector. Unfortunately I did not save a couple dimensions. Any chance one of you Granger guys could measure a slide band reel seat for overall length and also the length of the slide band itself. As always thanks in advance.

Hi Guys, Alan, I have an un-named reel seat that is off the rod. It's a little banged up on butt end, but not much. The Total Overall length is 3.260 to 3.265. The band is undented/bent and the length is .315. The markings are:

I hope this helps.
