Bent Butz© (Patented) Bent Butz© is a revolutionary designed product that converts your single gunnel mounted rod holder into a double rod holder. The unique design gives you one rod holder out to the side and one straight back. With this feature, you not only double your number of rods in the water but you also increase the distant your lines are apart. The greater the distance between your lines translates into fewer tangles, which means your bait spends more time in the water. Look at the horizontal angle -- a lower angle to the water means your rod tip is lower to the water. When chunking for Stripers in less then perfect conditions, this lower angle will help keep your baits from bouncing on the bottom. Better looking baits mean more fish! Bent Butz© aren’t only for inshore… take them offshore too! Use the outside rod holder when you jig for Tuna. Use the side-out holders to take advantage of the natural rocking motion of your boat, giving the jig the perfect motion for those Tuna. Like to troll? Bent Butz© are great for trolling too. Use them to increase the trolling spread. Don’t have a center rigger? Take the left Butz and switch it with the right one and now you can run two lines down the middle. The possibilities are endless! Bent Butz© are made from Schedule 40 Anodized Pipe for strength and durability. Bent Butz© feature a locking pin to lock the Butz into your rod holder and lanyard eyes for your safety lines. As with any product that changes the position of your rods, safety lines are recommended and traveling at high speeds with rods in the Bent Butz© is not advised.

Captain Steve Bent, Free Spirit Sport Fishing "I have used the bent butz rod holders since they were first offered. I have used them to catch drum, stripers and even to jig tuna! They are a real asset to me and my charter business since they allow the rods to lay flatter and spread them out to allow better coverage of the area behind my boat. There is no way that I would chunk stripers or fish drum without using these rod holders. They also allow me to spread my lines out and fish 4 rods where before I could only fish 2 in the same space. If you have never used them you have to try them." ~ Capt. Steve Bent Free Spirit Fishing Charters We Offer Solutions for Success!

Great Addition to my Boat! One great addition to my boat has been the "Bent Butz" rod holders. They work great when trolling 4-6 lines. I have used these for some additional help when bottom fishing or drifting. Another nice feature here is that I use these in my leaning post for several added positions." ~ Mike R.
