Clean metallic contrast

polished look to the end of the rod. Fits tight and gives off a great custom aesthetic against dark blanks.

Adds color to your build

Mix and match aluminum butts to aluminum reel seats

Good for saltwater builds

Great for propping up rods the rocks, jetty, concrete, etc. one take anyway is that the rubber to the aluminum isnt flush so thats a little bit not so great.

CRB Heavy Duty Aluminum Fighting Butt AFB

Perfect fighting butt for salt jigging rod. Paired with vertical jigging EVA grip. I have used these on a lot of jigging rods. They are comfortable and look great with multiple color to match.

Looks great

I have built four rods with these and they look great. I had an issue with one losing the rubber cap and had to super glue it back on. Not the end of the world but it loses a star for this review.
