New Butts 25May21

I was not completely satisfied with the different look of the fighting butt on my Rodfather Cutthroat (4pc 4wt), relative to the custom grip, but that's how the hardware comes. I wrote the company, my fav real seat company REC, describing my dilemma in having to buy a fully made fighting butt from them and then deconstruct it to use the metal only, when wanting to build a custom butt. They responded understandingly and added the right separate fighting butt hardware components to their website and I bought a couple sets for the Cutty and a future build. GR8 response from them, and they were just $15 each, pretty reasonable. Anyway, I built a new fighting butt, matching the handle, for the Cutty and it came out great. I will definitely proceed to match all handles when adding fighting butts to Rodfather builds - I prefer the removable kind so I can "have" or "not have."
