Spinning seat question

Hey everyone,
Have been planning a couple new spinning rods for my son and I. He's interested in the following two commercial rods because he, "likes the handles." :)
I'd like to build him something with the same look and feel but I don't recognize the spinning seats on either rod. Are they available as custom parts or are they manufacturer only items? Here's a couple links:

I looked on mudhole but didn't see either one. Welcome your guys' input.

Both look very similar to seaguide's offerings. Check them out from the list to the left.

FACEPALM...

I looked at the Fenwick link again myself and ... I now see that among the list of touted features it actually SAYS, "Sea Guide reel seat delivers superb strength."
Guess I coulda found that out myself after all hehe.
Thanks again though Matt.
