Winston Traditional Reel Seats
One of the fun things about R.L. Winston Company is the various reel seats that were available as options during the marketing years of the IM6 and WT rod series. There has always been a strong consensus among Winston fans that they were unique, classy, and beautiful. And, Winston's reel seats have always been a design element that has set them apart from the competition. It helps you to spot an angler fishing with a Winston from a long way down the stream.
My favorite reel seat has been the birdseye maple with sliding band hardware. However, I really like the walnut and teak spacers just as much. And, well, the zebra wood is fabulous too. Actually, I like all of the optional Winston seats of that era. Maybe I don't have a favorite after all? These old classic rods are amazing, regardless of reel seat, and will smooth out a fly fishers day on the stream so very nicely. Yup, they are all very special indeed...
