Quality, precision and durability: By-words for the great care Glenn Struble build into every reel seat. I have used and sold Struble reel seats for over 25 years, in fact I was the first to import these into the U.K. not long after Glenn Struble began manufacturing reel seats..
A Gelenn Struble reel seat will make your best blank into a distinctive professional item.
Other Glenn Struble Reel Seats, Components and Hardwoods listed in their catalogue are available to special order.
You can obtain a copy from Glenn Struble by emailing info@strublemfg.com or see their products at www.strublemfg.com
Struble Reel Seats are supplied unassembled and without cork. Please see the cork supplies section for bored and shaped corks to fit Struble Seats.

LIFETIME ROD BREAKAGE WARRANTY.
At last a rod breakage warranty that actually offers you realistic cover to safeguard your investment. If you accidentally break or damage any
Norwich ev series fly rod or blank, I will repair or replace the broken section at my discretion on three separate occasions.
This original-owner limited lifetime warranty gives you the reassurance you are looking for, but unlike unconditional lifetime guarantees on cheap far eastern sourced products the "Three Breaks Warranty" acknowledges the true value of the investment of time and skill I have made in the manufacture of this U.K. produced product.
