Aftco used to make a small bent-butt, but stopped about 1.5 years ago. They now only make the medium and large. If anyone has some of the small bent-butts (silver or black) that they want to un-load, please let me know. Thanks!

Mudhole is still selling the #2 short curved AFTCO butt -http://www.mudhole.com/Shop-Our-Catalog/Butts/Aftco-Unibutts
Give Capt.Danny a call he had some 252 723-7005 i think he had 4.
Thanks guys......looking into both leads right now. Still welcoming all others.....

Mudhole didn't have any of the shortest ones......and their website was off, as the #2 are 19.75 inches per the Aftco webite and the mudhole websites lists them at 17.75 inches (which would have been roughly what I was looking for). Thanks anyways though.
Looks like Paul may have the solution.
If anyone else is interested in some Short curved butts, give Paul a call. If you are a stand-up angler, the Aftco #2 (at 19.75 inches) is just too big.......something in the 15 to 17 inch category will allow you to put much more pressure on the fish.

CLB2SC- #2 curved/short silver $61.38
identical to the short aftco's... have both and beside the name I can not tell any difference... completely interchangeable.![]()
I have one aftco short bent butt I am willing to let go of. PM me is your still interested in it.
Guy's, I am VERY interested in the "Short" bent-butts BUT NOT the standard #2 that is 19.75 inches long from tip to tip. I am looking for the old #1 I believe, which AFTCO used to make but hasn't in like 1.5 years or so. The #1 are deadly on big tuna.......can put 50% more leverage on the fish with the shorter butt. I believe the #1 is approxiamtely 16 to 17 inches from tip to tip. If anyone has one or some, please let me know.
