Rubber
Butt
Ending
At the butt of the Ares sits a piece
of rubber with the Royal Crest of
the Swedish Court sitting within
it. Using rubber here is great. As
anglers we tend to rest our rods
by standing it on its butt end and
leaning it against something like
a tree or a wall.
A rubber butt ending gives both
grip and durability of which
means your rod will not slip and
fall as with rods fitted with metal
butt endings. Rubber is a lot more
durable as compared to cork,
EVA, etc. Be it EVA, hypalon,
cork, or rubber, wear and tear
happens. Rubber makes the most
sense.
