What is it?
The Butt Dial
What sets it apart?
The Butt Dial creates a practical solution for solving the age-old problem of keeping track of fishing line sizes and styles on multiple rods and reels. It eliminates the need to apply adhesive tape labeled with handwritten numbers to the rod handle. The Butt Dial simply slips over the end of the rod handle. Each Dial has four settings for line styles: Fluorocarbon, braid, monofilament and copolymer. The dial also has settings for 18 sizes of line, from 4- to 80-pound test. Made to fit rod handles that are 1-inch diameter or larger. A smaller version is in the works.
How do I use it?
Attach the Butt Dial to the end of the rod handle. Adjust the dial setting to the line size and type, and that’s it. See what you spooled on each reel by simply looking at the settings on the Butt Dial.
