i only use or recommend aluminum reel seats on boat rods that will be in high stress or might get abused. in the surf, they are not really needed. they can be cold in the early and late season, build up salt if annodized, and will scratch if they are not silver. plus, they are up to 3 times as expensive as a fuji reel seat. why are you considering an aluminum seat over a graphite seat?
