Technical FAQ
Bent or straight butt?
Bent butt for chair and high-speed trolling work — it holds the rod at fighting angle in the holder. Straight butt for stand-up harness fishing.
Why roller guides?
At 130–200 lb class, line runs under loads that groove standard rings. Rollers keep the line moving and the friction down.
