Polyurethane Arbors

Product Details

Polyurethane is an ideal material for arboring reel seats because it is lightweight and highly sensitive - increasing "feel" and transferring bites and strikes through the handle. The semi-porous polyurethane material absorbs epoxy glue quite well and ensures a strong bond with the rod blank and reel seat. Available to fit most common sizes of reel seats, these arbors all include a 1/4" pilot hole which can be easily reamed or drilled out to fit any rod blank.

Sold individually.

1st time using poly arbors

I normally make my own cork arbors. I wanted to tried the graphite and poly arbors. I did two steelhead blanks with them.

I glued them into the reel seats. Then drilled them out with my Rockler self centering drill press. The handles are done. The rods haven’t been fished with yet. So I don’t know if the arbors are more sensitive, more durable etc. So far they seem good. Easier than make cork arbors out of 1/2” rings

The arbors are a little shorter I cut one up and used two pieces. That are also smaller in diameter than your size 17 reel seat. Use a little more glue than normal to fill in

Excellent Product!

Quick and easy to use these arbors in lieu of masking tape. Find the right fit for your reel seat, ream out the middle to fit, epoxy and you have a very good and lasting solution.
