Short Bent Butts/Short Straight Butts

Another Grand · 10-30-2006, 09:18 AM

I have 1 Short Bent Butt and two short straight butts I am looking to get rid of......They are used but are still in perfect working order the only reason I am getting rid of them is because my new reels dont fit in them and unfortunately I dont have the money to buy new components right now to build new rods.

They cost a little over $100 brand new.....I think two are stuart and one is aftco. I will get rid of them for $50 each and I can put them on your rods for you. Shoot me an IM if you are interested.

Thanks,

Johnny

Momentum, I may need a second short butt & will lket you know by mid week.

PS: I have 2 Aftco 80lb straight butts, and 2 aftco 80lb curved butts.
Any chance you need a long curved butt or straight butt for trade?

E$,

My rod builder uses a different type of butt other than Aftco so it wouldn't fit my rods...lemme know, I have it available here for ya. :thumright:

That is not true.....so long as you have a #2, #4, or #6 Butt...they will fit in the corresponding sizes of other Brands. For instance......if you have a #2 AFTCO it will fit in a #2 American Tackle. I switch out like this all the time with friends to borrow their rods or reels. I am curious what brand tighty???

Johnny, Keith plans on building an other rod really soon... with a bent butt. If E ends up not getting it, let him/me know.

Nick C · 10-30-2006, 03:00 PM

Be aware some of the Butts don't fit the Tiagra reels properly.
I have 80's and needed Aftco, some of the others were way too
big.

I just wrapped 2-50 lb. rods and used pac bay 30-50-lb. class aluminum butts...I was VERY serprised when these fit my aftco 50 lb. uni. I know that the stuart butts also fit so i'm guessing that its the line rating and not the brand that is important.
