I have been using Aftco UB4 unibutt and was wondering if the Alutecnos ALB4SS is interchangeable with the UB4? I would go back to the Aftco but am unable to find any UB4Shorts. These are
not in the Aftco catalog and I suspect that this was a special run for stand up fishing rods. I have already contacted Aftco and they said that they never made any and will not make any. Funny thing is that I have two bent butts and one straight butts that are approximately 17.75 and 18.25 inches long. The Alutecnos is approx. 19 inches in lenght. The standard Aftco is 22.82 inches. Aftco does make a UB2S Short that has the same measurements but the I.D. is only .875 inches while the one that I have has an I.D. of 1.00 inches. Re: Alutecnos Aluminum Butts

Mel,
I just checked them and the Alutecnos does accept the Aftco ferrule in the #4. Regards, Todd Vivian Mud Hole Custom Tackle todd@mudhole.com Re: Alutecnos Aluminum Butts

Thanks Todd, I called your customer service and they gave me the same answer this morning and I placed an order for one. Unfortunately, it is on back order. Any idea when they will be in stock? Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
