Struble D20 full down locking reel seats,

How to order

Please first select the metal skeleton(s) you want, then add one insert for each skeleton if you require an insert - all from the available list below. The price excluding UK VAT sales tax will apply for goods sent outside the UK.

The full reel seat price includes a Struble wood insert, bore 9.1 - 10.6mm (see woods list below).   If you need a larger ID bore Lemke LC1/LC7 inserts will usually fit but occasionally may be a little too tight.  You can select one of these if you prefer and we will ccontact you if fit is an issue (listed separately, use the linked below).   LC1/LC7 inserts are bored up to 11mm. 

There is no additional charge if the the insert is priced zero.  A surcharge may apply for stabilised and rarer woods, where noted in the listing prices. 

Supplied with a trim band for the cork handle end.

About the Struble D20

The Model 20 is relaunched as Struble’s flagship reel seat, the first to be manufactured by Struble since 2012. The company is under new ownership dedicated to renewing Struble's 46-year dedication to manufacturing quality fly rod components.

Glenn Struble Manufacturing Company was founded in 1974 by Glenn Struble, a mechanical engineer with a love for fly fishing and commitment to excellence. Struble’s designs and quality quickly became the industry standard around the globe.

The Model 20 is available in four colours in anodized 6061 aluminium: Brilliant, bright-dip clear, bright-dip black, Dark Earth (bronze-green), and rich Dark Titanium (gunsmoke).

Upocking version (U20) listed separately.

Proudly manufactured in Big Timber, Montana.
