Aftco Extend-A-Butt - XB1 & XB2

Stand-up fishing has its pluses, but when battling big game fish with a standard trolling rod in a fighting chair, you can pull harder with far less effort! Until AFTCO’s Extend-A-Butt® was developed, a stand-up angler with access to a chair was deprived of this advantage. Typically, when seated in the chair with a shorter stand-up rod, the line does not properly clear the boat rail, but using the Extend-A-Butt® solves this problem! Simply slip the Extend-A-Butt® over the end of a #1 or #2 AFTCO Unibutt® (straight or curved model) and it locks instantly. Then fit your newly added butt extension snugly into the chair gimbal and you have the rod length you need to clear the gunwale. Even if you challenge a big fish stand-up style but tire during a long battle, the quick and easy addition of an Extend-A-Butt® allows you to slide right into the chair, where you can beat the fish faster with far less effort and increase your odds of bringing him in. Machined from the finest marine aluminum, Extend-A-Butts® are available in two sizes and in your choice of a Silver or Black anodized finish.
