Looking at a three forks 8wt and it does not have a fighting butt does
anyone know of a company that makes one that is easy to attach? Like a
slip on or something like that?


No.


Solve your problem by buying a good rod.


solve my problem by sending me some money. want my address?


Trying to put a fighting butt on that POS is throwing good money after
bad. Flawed economics, that may be why you don't have money. I don't
think you can get a good reel seat with a fighting butt for less than
$20.
By the time you screw up the existing handel trying to put it on your
going to have tripped over a dollar to pick up a dime.
As DIY project it don't seem to have the potential of being good or
cheap.
