## Notes

- The VSS is Fuji's vertical spinning reel seat; this page is the graphite body sold without hoods. The bore is the interface to the rod blank (plus arbor), the OD the interface to grips and winding checks.
- Size 16 comes in two bores: 13.0 mm and 15.0 mm (the '1615' body); size 17 has a 17.0 mm bore and a 20.0 mm body.
- Files: the body tube at the published OD, bore and length. Hood shape, nut OD and thread are not in the size table, so they are not drawn. True size, no tolerance added.
- Numbers are from the size table of Mud Hole, Fuji's US distributor (Fuji's own site was not reachable), the same basis as the other Fuji reel-seat pages.
