Jack, Most fighting butts as I know them are retractile. The extension slides 
into the regular seat..I would suggest you Google up Fighting Butts and see 
what they show I have only made one rod wit a fighting butt and the person I 
was making the rod for supplied the butt.Tony

 Virtual Fly Box Collaborators,
I know we have some expert rod builders out there, but I am not one of them. 
The 7wt BlueHalo fiberglass blank has a .569 diameter butt which some say will 
limit the choices for reel seats. I was thinking about a plain - sturdy 
aluminum saltwater type reel seat. Not sure how to size the fighting butt for 
the reel seat. Is there any difference in function between an inletted cork and 
one that is not??
Thanks for your insights,Jack 
p.s. would anyone out there have the items on hand and be wanting to sell them?
(bluehalostore.com has the blank)--
