Put a fightbutt on my light crispy SLT 8' #4 ? No way! :-) When you
buy a descent reel (sage or waterworks ie.) you get a nice neoprene
casing for your reel. I use that when i put my rod down on the ground,
or place my rod where the surface is plain grass without sand and

ain't some nice soft grass nearby I just take my hat off lay it down and
put the butt in there...works for me.
