Description
Strategically engineered for reduced weight, EPIC Butt features a fluted handle grip for fighting fish after fish. The comfortable mushroom gimbal is perfect for standup and keyed to prevent rotation. EPIC Butt is anodized then sealed for extra protection.
Epic Butt #1 (sold as a BUTT ONLY) is a GLUE THROUGH BUTT design, this butt does not have a detachable ferrule system. This butt is geared with octagonal hoods, matching nuts and nylon washers. A machined flat on the reel seat ensures anti-reel rotation while fighting the fish. EPIC Butt #1 comes with a short or long mushroom gimbal. Created to accept most reels in the standard 30# – 50# Class. We find that this is an excellent butt for "light tackle" trolling and chunking rods that you would fish a Talica 20, 25 or similar sized reel with, or a standard 30 or 30W class reel. Comes with a Short and Long gimbal to be installed by the rod builder as preferred.
Epic Butt #2 is the newest fluted straight butt capable of accepting a standard size #2 ferrule. This butt features the same adjustable hoods and ferrule-nut as used on the Winthrop Terminator Adjusta Butt to accommodate different size reels. Epic Butt #2 comes with choice of short or long gimbal installed. This is an excellent choice for those looking for a detachable butt option to fit most standard 30/30W, 50/50W, or 70 size reels.
Epic Butt #2 is the same collet nut thread pattern as #2 in "standard" brands (Aftco, ALPS, etc.) of regular aluminum rod butts for those looking to swap out butts on rods that have an existing collet/ferrule installed on them.
