Fuji TCH reel seat

Post by BrettTRay » Tue Jun 06, 2023 11:05 am

Anyone on here used the Fuji TCH reel seats? Looks like there isn’t much info on them other than Japanese sites but had a previous generation JDM Black Label 7’ 1-8oz swimbait rod that had foam handle and a reel seat I absolutely hated. It was before they came out with the Daiwa Air Sensor reel seats that I love. Put cork split grip on it with TCH reel seat in a size 15. Absolutely love it but curious what others think of it.

Looks similar to the ECS. What's the difference?

Just looked it up and it says they're made of a titanium, high modulus carbon mix. 🤷

Extremely rigid seat unlike the nylon seats of the past like ECS and ACS, bueatiful, lightweight, and more comfortable to my style than the ECS/ACS. If you like Daiwa’s Air seats you’ll like the TCH. I’ve only seen a few rods made with this brand new seat. Only place I could find one to buy was overseas. If you’d like pics of the rod send me your email address in private messenger. iPhone 14 I guess takes to big of pics for the forum unless I can figure out how to post them

Hey we all want to see those pics :D

When you select the pictures, on the bottom right corner you can select the size to upload before pressing add. The original size obviously is too big but „big / large“ (my iPhone isn’t set to English so I’m not sure) is just small enough for the image hosting here. They quality will be reduced significantly but hey…

Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

I fail to see how a Titanium hood cover (like the many stainless that proceeded it) is to be that much better and at $250 a seat?

Is this a new current day Shimano Ci4 to Ci4+ and the 250% stronger statement?

$250? They are 55 bucks on eBay. RRP ¥6000 + VAT in Japan. So $45-50ish. Still five times as expensive compared to what I normally use.

They just came up on that Google sales banner all at that rough price, maybe regional as everything is heaps more expensive at the ass end of space.
