If you need bent butts, a good place is pinnacle marine outfitters on ebay. I bought two short #2 bents for $45ea (new in the wrapper) made by Pacific Bay.
the site is trollinggear.com, or you can email pinnaclemarine@cableone.net

I looked everywhere, and the price can't be beat

I looked at the Daiwa Dendoh Saltiga deep drop rod for $149. Part# SA-B 56MHF-DD

I think it only comes with a long bent butt. I thought about buying one and then paying the $100 for a new short bent butt.

Total would be about $275 plus shipping. That's about $100 less than anything I found by Chaos, Crowder, J&M Tackle, etc .etc.

Don't know why a deep drop rod wouldn't work for trolling and swords.

The best place I have found for Saltwater aluminum butts is trollinggear.com, or pinnacle marine outfitters. This guy is a rod builder and always has overstock Aluminum butts. If you don't see them on the site, try emailing.
I purchased several straight butts a year ago for an unbelievable price. The email address was pinnaclemarine@satx.rr.com
Good luck!

They have a swivel tip also. You will not be able to use a wind-on leader and you will have problems if you have waxed loops or other markers on the line.

Be careful which bent butt you get - the older Aftco short butts were too short to fit in a standard rod holder. If you have HD rod holders other short bent butts may not fit very well either.

I like the Stuarts, Bought the adapter that converts the 50 short to the 80 short and gained a couple inches. Great quality and more bang for the buck. All made in the USA. Had the gimbal twist on me on a brand from china . It was worthless

We can order what ever aftco butts you need.
Need to know what size and what color ???

too bad you are not local...Tommy Greene has (or at least had) a bucket full of 2nd hand ones. Not the shizznit stora-butts, but definitely a way to go on the cheap.

Best price on bent butts is Pinnacle Marine Outfitters - Trollinggear.com
The overstock price when available is dealer cost.
I have seen short bent butts for $45, but that was a few years ago. Recently they have been $55ea.
