The Combination Handle-Reel Seat That Revolutionized The Trolling Rod!
Formed from the finest marine alloy using AFTCO’s unique “swaging” process, the ONE-PIECE Unibutt® aluminum 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 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. Stronger, lighter and simpler, AFTCO Unibutts® are available in Silver, Black, Black/Gold, Black/Silver, Silver/Gold, Black/Shimano® Gold anodized finishes.
*All #2 Unibutts and Storabutts feature hoods that will accommodate most size “80” reels.
Unibutt Tips
AFTCO Unibutts are easily sized by measuring their inside diameters. All Unibutts and Storabutts have the same inside diameters (without ferrule) with regard to any given size. For example, all #1’s measure .838″, all #2’s measure .970″, all #4’s measure 1.133″ and all #6’s measure 1.336″. Length indicated on charts is measured from tip of threads to end of gimbal. Note: If being ordered as replacements for existing rods, all Unibutts and Storabutts are available without ferrule and collett nuts provided.
