Reel Clamps

Secure Your Avet Reel to the Rod

Avet Reel Clamp Kits add a solid, corrosion-resistant connection between a compatible conventional reel and rod. The hardware is precision-machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade billet aluminum, then anodized for saltwater durability and a clean color-matched finish.

Choose the correct kit type and reel-size group before ordering. The current variants are labeled for SX/MXJ/MXL, JX/LX/HX, or EX models. The listed compatibility options do not include SXJ, HXJ, or HXW, so confirm fitment before placing an order for those reel families.

Keep the Reel Stable When the Fight Gets Heavy

A deckhand rod or conventional setup may not give your reel the support you need on its own. A properly matched clamp helps keep the reel seated and reduces unwanted movement while you troll, fish bait, work a jig, or lean into a hard-pulling saltwater fish.

Choose the Hardware That Matches Your Reel

• Screw Set: Replacement screws only for the SX, MXJ, and MXL compatibility group.
• Stud and Nut Set: Replacement studs and nuts for the JX, LX, and HX compatibility group.
• EX Stud and Nut Set: Replacement studs and nuts for EX-series reels.
• Colored Clamp Kit: A full anodized clamp with hook/jig holder. Screws and tools are not included.
• Color options: Multiple anodized finishes are listed across the compatible reel-size groups.

The Right Pick If...

• You need replacement clamp hardware for a compatible Avet reel.
• You fish a deckhand rod or conventional rod setup without a reel seat.
• You want a full clamp rather than a replacement screw or stud-and-nut set.
• You want to match the clamp finish to a Silver, Gunmetal, Red, Blue, Purple, Green, Gold, or Black reel setup where listed.
• You have checked the variant title against your exact Avet reel family before ordering.

Best For

• Offshore trolling and stand-up big-game fishing.
• Saltwater bottom fishing and heavy conventional tackle.
• Replacing lost screws, worn studs, or missing nuts.
• Adding a color-matched clamp and hook/jig holder to a compatible Avet reel.
• Organizing and maintaining Avet reels between trips.

Where It Fits in the Avet Setup

Pair the correct clamp or hardware set with the Avet Reel Bags to keep your reels and accessories organized between trips. For a reel-by-reel fitment starting point, compare the Avet SX Raptor, Avet LX Raptor, or Avet HX Raptor. The Avet Reels Buyer’s Guide can help you identify the reel family before you select hardware.

Tackle Express Tips

• Match the exact reel-family wording in the variant title before adding a clamp or replacement hardware.
• Add a small amount of grease to the threads so the hardware seats securely and is easier to remove later.
• Keep spare screws or studs with the reel in your Avet Reel Bag so a small hardware problem does not end the trip.

The Duran's DFP Super Reel Clamp is fully precision machined out of billet aircraft grade 6061 Aluminum, and 100% made in the USA. Using state of the art CNC milling machines we take the block of aluminum and using various carbide cutters we bring the clamp to life.

This clamp is newest and most versatile clamp in today’s market with confirmed fitment on 40 plus reels it is a true universal clamp all in one.  The clamp is designed to be mounted on your rod and to be able to interchange reels without removing any screws or taking off the clamp.

Does NOT fit SX or MX series Avet reels.  Colored clamps are discontinued.

Mini Kit

The mini kit comes with smaller screw sets and a shallow dish for smaller diameter rods. Such as UC Rods, Calstar 800 and Seeker 270’s.

Large Kit

The large kit comes with longer screw sizes and a deeper dish for larger diameter rods. Such as Seeker Uluas, 6480’s, 540’s, Phenix HAF, and most 9-10ft jig sticks

The Mini Super Clamp is the first clamp of its kind designed to fit smaller reels on skinnier rods. It fits reels that do not come with stock clamps where an aftermarket attachment is a necessity to mount on a deckhand rod. It fits the Lexa 300, Tranx 300, Avet SXJ(non raptor), Trinidad 12 and Trinidad 16NA to name a few. These reels do not come with a stock clamp and have been an issue mounting on deckhand rods for years. With constant requests we took the challenge and now created a clamp for theses smaller reels. While the clamp is extremely versatile it has its limitations on the diameter rod it can be mounted on. The clamp is designed to fit rod diameters between 1 1/8″ – 7/8″ (28MM- 22MM) which is appropriate for the reel class size 10-25lb rods. Some rod examples are Seeker 196,270, Calstar 800XL, 800L Phenix M1.

Mini Super Clamp Kit Fits:

Shimano: Tranx 300 and 500, Trinidad 10-20 and 16NA, Torium 14-20.

Daiwa: Lexa 300, Saltiga 10-400, Saltist 15-40.

Avet: SXJ (for raptor model must purchase our Avet Replacement Reel Foot)

The Accurate Reel Clamp Kit is the OEM mounting hardware for Accurate reels — designed to lock your reel to the rod seat with zero movement under heavy drag and high-torque cranking. Available in standard and narrow versions across multiple finish colors to match your setup.

Loose Reels Lose Fish

A reel that shifts or creeps on the rod seat during a long fight isn't just annoying — it affects your leverage, changes your drag angle, and can compromise the rod-reel connection at the worst possible moment. Accurate's OEM clamp kits are the correct hardware for these reels, machined to fit the seat studs precisely. A proper clamp means the reel stays exactly where you set it, from the first crank to the last.

Wide Compatibility

These clamp kits fit the full range of Accurate conventional reels:

• Boss series
• Valiant series
• Extreme series
• Dauntless series
• Fury series
• Tern series

Important: Select the Narrow option for narrow-spool models including 400N, 500N, and 600NN. Standard and narrow clamps are not interchangeable — verify your reel model before ordering.

The Right Pick If...

• Your existing clamp is worn, damaged, or missing and you need OEM replacement hardware
• You're building a new rod-and-reel combo and need the correct clamp for your Accurate reel
• You want to color-match your clamp to your reel finish (silver, black, red, or gold)
• You're running a narrow-spool Accurate and need the correct narrow clamp — not a standard one

Key Features

• OEM Accurate hardware — correct fit for Boss, Valiant, Extreme, Dauntless, Fury, and Tern series
• Available in Standard and Narrow — narrow fits 400N, 500N, 600NN models
• Five finish options — Narrow Silver, Silver, Red, Black, Gold
• Complete kit — includes all hardware needed for installation
• Corrosion-resistant finish — built for saltwater environments

Models & Variants

Tackle Express Tips

• If you're unsure whether your reel is a standard or narrow spool, check the model number. Any model ending in N (e.g., 500N, 600NN) requires the Narrow clamp. Standard models without the N suffix take the regular clamp.
• Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the mounting studs before installation — it makes removal much easier after extended salt exposure and prevents the hardware from galling over time.
• Inspect the clamp hardware annually, especially on reels that see heavy drag pressure regularly. The studs and nuts are the weak point — if they show corrosion or wear, replace the kit before your next offshore trip.

FAQ

How do I know if I need the Narrow or Standard clamp?
If your reel model number includes an N (e.g., 400N, 500N, 600NN), you need the Narrow version. Standard models without an N suffix take the standard clamp. If you're still unsure, contact us with your reel model number and we'll confirm.

Does this kit include all the hardware I need?
Yes — the kit includes the clamp, mounting studs, and securing nuts. Everything needed for a complete installation is included.

Will this fit my Accurate Ascender?
The Ascender has its own dedicated clamp kit listed separately. These kits are for Boss, Valiant, Extreme, Dauntless, Fury, and Tern series reels. Check the Accurate Ascender Reel Clamp Kit listing if you have an Ascender.

The Cork Puppy Reel Clamp is designed for west coast jig fishermen and long-cast anglers using deckhand-style rods with no reel seat. These rods require a rod clamp to mount the reel, and the Cork Puppy solves that problem cleanly — locking the reel in place without twisting, turning, or crushing the blank, in a low-profile design that keeps the setup comfortable and balanced for longer casts.

Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with type II anodizing. Available in three sizes measured by the rod's diameter at the intended mount point.

Key Features

• Locks reel in place — won't twist or turn
• Won't crush the blank
• Low profile — comfortable, balanced feel
• Machined 6061-T6 aluminum with type II anodizing
• 3 sizes: 25mm, 28mm, 31mm
• Color: Black only

Size Guide

Measure the rod's diameter at the point where you intend to mount the reel. To convert inches to mm, multiply by 25.4. If you don't have calipers, wrap a piece of string around the rod at the mount point, mark where it meets, measure the length, and divide by 3.14 to get the diameter.

When you're locked in a fight with tuna, yellowtail, or any hard-charging offshore target, a shifting reel isn't just annoying — it kills your leverage and risks losing the fish. The Accurate Ascender Reel Clamp Kit is the OEM solution engineered specifically for Ascender series reels, delivering rock-solid rod seat mounting under extreme drag pressure.

When the Fight Gets Real

High-torque cranking puts massive stress on the reel-to-rod connection. Standard reel seats can loosen over time, especially on heavy drag setups. This kit locks your Ascender down hard — no movement, no creep, no compromise. It's what serious offshore anglers reach for before heading to the grounds.

What's In the Box

• Heavy-duty reel clamp (black corrosion-resistant finish)
• Mounting studs
• Securing nuts
• All hardware needed for a complete installation

Built for Ascender Reels — Nothing Else

This is an Accurate-specific kit. It is not a universal clamp. Compatible reels must have stud holes — narrow versions of the Ascender series do not have stud holes and are not compatible. Verify your exact model before ordering.

The Right Pick If...

• You're running an Accurate Ascender 300, 400, or 500 series reel
• You're fishing offshore for tuna, yellowtail, or large pelagics
• You want OEM hardware — not a generic clamp that may not seat correctly
• Your current reel seat shows any sign of loosening under load

Key Features

• Accurate OEM fit — engineered specifically for Ascender series reels
• Complete hardware kit — studs, nuts, and clamp all included
• Black corrosion-resistant finish — built for saltwater environments
• Maximum stability — eliminates reel movement during high-torque cranking
• Available in two sizes — Small (300/400) and Large (400/500)

Best Fishing Techniques

• Slow pitch jigging
• Speed jigging
• Live bait offshore
• Chunking and deep drop

Best Conditions

• Offshore bluewater fishing
• High-drag, heavy-tackle setups
• Saltwater environments requiring corrosion-resistant hardware

Best For

• Bluefin, yellowfin, and bigeye tuna
• Yellowtail and amberjack
• Large pelagics requiring sustained drag pressure
• Any Accurate Ascender 300/400/500 owner wanting secure, OEM-grade mounting

Tackle Express Tips

• Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the mounting studs before installation — it makes removal much easier after extended salt exposure.
• Confirm your Ascender model number before selecting size. The 400 size can go either way depending on the specific reel — check the reel body for stud hole placement.
• Inspect the clamp and studs annually if fishing in heavy saltwater conditions, especially on live bait or chunking trips where the reel sees continuous load.

FAQ

Will this fit a narrow version of the Accurate Ascender?
No. Narrow Ascender models do not have stud holes and are not compatible with this clamp kit. Only standard (non-narrow) Ascender reels can use this hardware.

Do I need any special tools to install this kit?
No special tools required. Standard hand tools are sufficient for installation. All mounting hardware is included in the kit.

Which size should I order for an Ascender 400?
The Ascender 400 is compatible with both Small and Large versions of this kit depending on the specific variant. Check your reel's stud hole configuration or contact us and we can help confirm the right fit.
