Im thinking about trying the Batson Slim Slick Grip and was wondering what butt caps people have used with these to match up. If you have pictures that would be great too.

Barry,
Thanks for the reply. I like the idea of the bulb cap, I not a fan of gimbals. Does the bulb sit flush with the slick grip or does it slide inside? Any chance you have a pic?

I have used the RG1-16.0 Rubber Gimbal for my RCKJB knife Jigging rods and fits perfectly [www.batsonenterprises.com]

Also most of the #20 MM butt caps fit including SBC20B or as you seem to like the BC19A fits well here [www.batsonenterprises.com]

If you want to dress it up a bit go with an aluminum cap like the new ALBC20 in 4 different colors. [www.batsonenterprises.com]

The last six rods I have used the new Alps Triangle butt cap and the trim ring fits perfect up against the Slim slick. Keep in mind this cap has inside diameter of .662 [www.batsonenterprises.com]
