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.  Stronger, lighter and simpler
