    havnt used the seat myself so cant comment tony, i assume the straps are just rod ties m8, handy when climbing rock marks to strap rod and stand together

      the strappy things are for holding you rod together, as for the reel seat i dont like them as my slosh slides all over the place, it was ok at first but then it seemed to loose its grip.

          Best reel seat i have ever used is the century sliding reel seat which u can place anywhere on you're rod with out having to glue or taping it. When u cast orr have a fish on you feel in total control of both the rod and reel, its makes casting comfortable.

            Been using the Greys reel seats without any problems, I'd go as far as to say I really like them, once the reel is screwed down they don't budge at least haven't for me.

              I make rucksacks for Red Squirrels to help them survive - I find these rod wraps perfect for adjustable shoulder straps. The modern Red Squirrel needs to keep on it's toes these days and many have taken to using off cuts to secure acorns in bandolier fashion across their fluffy little bodies - bless em I love little squirrels

                this is my best buy when it comes to reel seats, not sure what its called or who its made by but it weighs next to nothing and very easy to slide up and down. i think i paid Ł12 for it from the takle shop at the start of west road, never had a problem with it but i did remove the the thumb rest

                      I said something about your reel seat looking like an electric chair for a squirrel then thought it would sound stupid so went for the edit button. See not that weird

                        You'd have to put it in sideways like for fairness

                            I use the Abu grip loc and the Penn sliding seat both as good as each other but my personal preference is the Abu
