AFTCO Unibutts® are the combination handle-reel seat that revolutionized trolling rod butts. Unibutt® fishing rod butts are formed from the finest marine alloy using AFTCO's unique "swaging" process, the ONE-PIECE Unibutt® aluminum fishing rod butt and reel seat is "unitized" for maximum strength and minimum weight. The aligning pin-plug, gimbal and fixed hood are locked in permanent alignment so that the gimbal, reel and rod guides always line up perfectly. The ferrules are precision-machined to ensure complete interchangeability of rod tip sections, and an "O" Ring on the ferrule prevents corrosion between ferrule and reel seat. A Teflon® ring inside the collet nut assures a snug fit, prevents galling, and allows easy removal of the nut.
We recommend Short curved and straight butts for stand-up rods, and Long straight/curved for gunnel/fighting chair rods.
We offer these butts as "butt-only" option when buying for rods with the collet & ferrule already installed, or with the collet & ferrule included if you're looking to build a rod from scratch.
Black/Gold color options are available as special order products, please call us at 631-594-3336 to inquire about these.
