Ray Lee and Proof Nickel Silver Reel Seats
The finest components often come from small production shops where every detail matters. Each material is carefully selected, every operation is performed with intention, and every piece carries the mark of the person who made it.
The reel seats below are an exclusive collaboration between Ray Lee and Proof Fly Fishing. The designs reflect a value system at the heart of Proof: simple, purposeful, timeless design built to perform for generations.
Each seat is crafted from 18% nickel silver and is individually cut, shaped, soldered, and polished in Ray's workshop. The wood inserts are hand selected, shaped, and finished by hand to create a component that is both functional and refined.
Inspired by Scandinavian design principles, we believe natural beauty often comes from restraint. A straight-grained wood insert highlights the character of the material itself, creating a clean, timeless look that complements rather than competes with the craftsmanship of the rod.
