Custom Reel Clamp Trinidad Avet Torium Updated! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hello BWE,

I have now finished all the clamps for Trinidad 14-20 Silver Models,Avet SX MX JX LX, Torium 14, Saltist BG 15-40, and Okuma Makaira 15-50 models.I have received very positive feedback on the clamps and have made quite a few of each model. I will be selling the clamp alone with washers for the user to be able to adjust to smaller rod diameters. All clamps were tested on stock hardware provided by the manufacture. I would appreciate any feedback as it is my first time selling these clamps. I plan on making more models and will keep everyone updated. All clamps are $20 and I also offer custom engraving for $10. I will be doing free shipping for those who order 3 or more clamps. Payments will be done via paypal or venmo and are responsible for any associated fees. will be using flat rate envelopes for shipping which is $6.55 also local pickup in Tustin. Please PM me the reel model, quantity, email address, and shipping address if interested in the clamps. Thank you all for the support!

Awesome Ed!

I'm in aerospace manufacturing and totally see a marketplace for more/better/creative clamps and reel seats.

What grade Al are you using?

Thanks man! I plan on making plenty new designs and models coming this week! I’m just using 6061 Al. I’ll be updating this weekend making clamps for Avets and Trinidad’s so they will be up soon!

Great looking work.

I would also suggest making longer clamps that grab more surface area of the rod for jigsticks. I wouldnt think cork puppy has proprietary market on this but something to look into for sure. Most of my rods do not have reel seats if that gives you an idea as to how many more you could sell if you made the longer ones.
