Winthrop Tackle Epic Butt with Gimbal are made with aircraft aluminum for reduced weight. The Winthrop Epic Butt is a blank through butt geared with a fluted handle grip and a comfortable mushroom gimbal. It also includes octagonal hoods with matching nuts and nylon washers for anti-reel rotation while wrestling those ocean giants.

The industry needed it, so Fred made it. You know he machined it out of solid aircraft-grade aluminum. These "Epic" butts will allow the blank to go all the way through, but needs to run at least 2" below the reel seat. Can be used as a rod extender. Reel seat hoods will accept a 30 class reel.
