Product Information

Full details

The Avid Butt Gripper Large is an essential tool for carp and specimen anglers who need reliable rod security during their sessions. It is specifically designed to provide a secure hold for thicker rod handles, such as cork or duplon, ensuring that your rod remains stable even during aggressive takes. While it offers excellent grip, potential users should be aware that this specific Large model is tailored for wider handles and may not provide the same snug fit for thinner, slender rod butts.

FAQs

Is this suitable for both Cork and Duplon handles?

Yes, the internal ribbed material is specifically designed to grip both Cork and Duplon materials effectively.

Does this product come in different sizes?

Yes, Avid offers both Small and Large variants to accommodate different rod handle diameters.

Will this mark my rod handle?

The soft-touch ribs are designed to be gentle on rod finishes while maintaining a secure hold.

What kind of thread does it use?

It uses a standard universal thread compatible with almost all modern fishing banksticks and rod pods.

Can I use this for feeder fishing?

Yes, it is suitable for any fishing style that utilizes a rod rest, provided the handle diameter fits the Large model.

Troubleshooting

The rod feels loose in the gripper

Verify that your rod handle diameter is compatible with the Large model; if the handle is too thin, you may need the Small version.

The gripper spins on the bankstick

Ensure the thread is tightened properly or use a washer/locking nut to secure it firmly to the bankstick.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior grip for thick handles
  • Durable, long-lasting materials
  • Soft-touch interior protects rod finish
  • Simple, reliable performance
  • Easy to install on standard bankware

Cons

  • Not suitable for very thin or minimalist rod butts
  • Does not feature adjustable tension
  • Requires specific sizing for optimal fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward: screw the base of the Avid Butt Gripper directly onto your bankstick, pod, or buzz bar thread. Tighten until the gripper is aligned correctly. To ensure the longest lifespan, keep the internal ribs free of grit or sand, which can accumulate during bankside use. To clean, simply wipe the soft-touch interior with a damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may degrade the soft-touch material over time.
