Dog Tooth,

Mate, also try the Matagi site. They have some really stunning gear but it will probably be a bit light on for what you need. Also, the ALPS triangular seats are top shelf. Contact Ross at The Rodworks for any info. They come in a range of colours. I've used a few of them before and they are really nice gear.


regards
Mark

The Alps come in purple too.
There's a purple one here ready to go on the cooks new rod that I was supposed to finish a year ago.
They definitely look the goods for strength and looks.
