Product Information

Full details

The Fox Butt Cup is designed for serious anglers who prefer high rod tip setups, offering a stable and secure platform to rest the rod butt during long sessions. Its primary benefit is the combination of a firm grip and rapid release, ensuring your rod stays put in windy conditions yet remains ready for an immediate strike. A notable caveat is that it is specifically engineered for high-tip fishing, making it less suitable for scenarios where rods are fished parallel to the water surface or low to the ground.
