American Tackle's HCC Hand Crafted Carbon series is the quintessential high-end reel seat and an absolute first in the fishing tackle industry. They utilize state of the art materials, hand-cut, and hand-laid carbon patterns in a labor-intensive blow-molded process completed by hand polishing to perfection. The pinnacle of component innovation, there’s no other seat that compares in concept or stylized design.
Very poor construction. Mine came peeling on the inside, with some major scratches on the top, and the part where the reel seat sits is very off center and tilted, a larger reel won't fit in now because it tilts so much. Pretty disappointed.
I wouldn't recommend the purchase, however it gets 1 star for being incredibly light and if you ignore the cosmetic issues and don't get one with a tilted reel seat then it looks really good.

Super Light
Excellent quality from a hand made, not machine made product. These seats are going all my builds requiring a light weight seat. With hood mine weighed in under 1/2oz.... Lighter than the Fuji SK2.
Also backed by a great company American Tackle.
