Fuji Trimmed Butt Cap - Surf Grip or Reel Seat Spacers

As testes the Fuji GRC-25 fits flush against the DPS-LD 20 seat. Both pieces have and OD of 20mm so the trimmed section of the cap can be used as a "grommet" or "spacer" or "trim" on both top and bottom of the reel seat when designing a surf rod type build.

Fuji PSS-LD (E)

Fuji created the (E) "econo" colour in 2010 to eventually replace the (IC) colour we have been using for guides/hoods.

I decided to use the Fuji (E) LD hood from Matagi to compliment my PSS seat.

Custom Reel Seat Selection - Fuji FK7 DPS-LD 20 Soft Touch Reel Seat

Enter Soft Touch Reel Seats:

I have been planning for a few custom rods.  I decided on a few that can exhibit the right theme.  From right to left are all DPS-LD size 20 (B), (FK7), (E) colours.

Installing Matagi FBC-VR Ring on Fuji Graphite Gimbal Size 22

This ring is usually installed as a reel seat ring placed on the side opposite the threads.

I ran across this idea when I was trying to remove the Fuji Rubber Cap from the gimbal.  When pulling with force the cap and ring stack (chrome rings + graphite ring) came loose.  I was in awe and decided to try the FBC-VR ring in place of the stack.  It worked.

The installation will fit only Fuji GC-22 size only.  Not size GC-25.  Note GC-25 is used in photos below.  Cheers.

Finished Product - Thank you Mamoru San for a great product.
