Product Information

Full details

The Avid Butt Gripper Rest (Small) is designed specifically for anglers who utilize abbreviated or slim rod handles, offering a superior grip that prevents unwanted rod movement during bites. Its primary benefit is the combination of a robust, durable outer shell and a soft-touch, ribbed inner lining that secures your gear without damaging the rod blank. While it excels in stability for slim handles, it is important to note that this specific model is not suitable for full-cork or oversized rod handles, which would require the large variant.

FAQs

Can I use this with full cork handles?

No, this small model is designed for abbreviated handles. You should opt for the Large Avid Butt Gripper for full cork or Duplon handles.

Does it fit all standard bank sticks?

Yes, it features a standard 3/8 BSF thread, which is compatible with almost all modern fishing bank sticks and rod pods.

Will the inner ribs damage my rod finish?

No, the soft-touch material is specifically designed to be gentle on rod blanks while providing maximum grip.

Is this sold as a pair?

These are typically sold as individual units. Please check your specific retailer listing for package quantities.

How do I clean the interior?

Use a damp, lint-free cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that could degrade the soft-touch plastic.

Troubleshooting

Rod feels loose in the gripper

Verify that you are using an abbreviated or slim handle. If the handle is too thin, the ribs may not make full contact.

Gripper rotates on the bank stick

Tighten the locking collar on your bank stick or use a small rubber washer between the gripper and the bank stick to increase friction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unrivalled grip for slim or abbreviated rod handles
  • Durable, long-lasting build quality
  • Soft-touch material prevents scratches on rod blanks
  • Compact and lightweight for easy transport
  • Reliable stability during high-impact bites

Cons

  • Not compatible with standard or large diameter rod handles
  • Requires a separate bank stick or rod pod adapter
  • Single-size design lacks adjustability

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: simply screw the base of the Avid Butt Gripper onto any standard 3/8 BSF bank stick, buzzer bar, or rod pod attachment point. Ensure it is tightened until the gripper faces forward.

Compatibility: This Small model is strictly for slim/abbreviated handles. If you use full-cork handles, please utilize the Large variant.

Care: Clean the ribbed interior periodically with a damp cloth to remove grit or debris. Dust and mud can reduce the friction of the soft-touch material, so keeping it clean ensures it maintains its 'unrivalled grip' for seasons to come.
