Source for Sage type butt caps

I've always used the Sage type butt caps on my heavy duty fly rods - both small and large, with the black EVA and cork. But I can't remember which sponsor on the left I got them from. I've gone thru half the list already - does anyone know who carries them? Thanks.

Sage I believe uses the Struble fixed butts on their Xi3's, TCX's etc.... Mudhole, Anglers Workshop, Shofftackle and Merrick should have them. What seat are you using?

FBCC-4, thanks Bill. I couldn't find them when I first looked.

Todd - I'll probably use a simple A7 or A8 type aluminum reel seat. Anything should butt up against these fighting butts.
