I havent signed up. *

When you compile a wishlist does your system find the closest dealer who would have those parts or is the "find dealer" function based on physical location?

I ask because I tried getting one of the items listed on your site from a local dealer and was told they didnt have access to them. The above feature would help with that.

When you sign up, this allows you to save, change, print and email your wishlist build to you. This also allows you to enter in your zip code and find the closest retailer that should have the products you are looking for. If not, you can go online and find the dealers through our dealer section. They should have all our products. If they do not, they can special order them for you.

Hi Thomas, Most of our dealers in our dealer section should either have them or beable to order you one. They are amazing!! Super light, very sensitive due to the toray based material.

Bill

Just wanted to let you know that I feel the MVT reel seats are awesome. I have just built a Rod Geeks rod using the MVT with the carbon insert It is super light and Very comfortable. With the color showing under it and the guides matching in light green and black it is a great match up. My customer is so pleased he has asked me to build three more using that seat. The next will be on a RX-8.

Great news Tom! The MVT is the absolute best and only true carbon graphite reel seat. Although pricey, its well worth it! Check out the new Immortal line! It will surely impress! [rainshadowrodblanks.com]
