Why you need this:

When you’re dropping bait into your favorite hole especially with heavy current and waiting for a tank to hit, you need a rod that can take the abuse and keep you in control. Enter the B&J Big Butt Stick — our newest halibut rod created in partnership with Okuma. It’s short, stout, and built to do one job: hauling big flatfish off the bottom and into the boat.

• Compact 5' one-piece design with shorter butt section (designed for men, women and children) for increased power and leverage
• XH power rating that can handle a 5lb weight in heavy current
• Rated for 80–120 lb line and heavy baits or jigs
• Green & Gold finish — signature colors for our B&J custom rods
• Purpose-built for Alaska halibut fishing in big water
• Designed by our in-house fishing team for serious Alaskan use

What’s this good for?

• Bait and jig fishing for halibut in all depths
• Fighting all-sized flatfish with a tight, controlled rod load
• Pairing with your favorite electric or conventional reel
• Close-quarter boat setups where rod length matters
• Alaskan anglers who demand power + fishability

How to use?

• Rig with 80–120 lb braided line and weight and bait or your favorite heavy jig
• Drop down with lead 5 lbs or more depending on current
• Hold the rod in-hand or use in a rod holder or gimbal belt
• Fish hard and carry a Big Butt Stick!

Why we love this one:

The Big Butt Stick is all business — no frills, just raw lifting power. If the Halibut Hammer is our all-around jig rod, the Big Butt Stick is your bait rod bruiser. At 5 feet, it keeps you tight to the fish, helps control the fight, with excellent shock absorbing action for battling big fish without wearing you out. This is what happens when local knowledge meets purpose-built design. Halibut fear this rod.

Features:

• Green & Gold finish — signature colors for our B&J custom rods. Bold and built to stand out
• XH Power with Moderate Action = strength, power and forgiveness
• One-piece 5' Responsive 24/30-ton carbon blank – short, strong, and made for leverage
• Built with heavy duty double foot guides with zirconia inserts and a super strong Fuji DPS-M26 reel seat
• Custom triangle fore grip, slick butt and aluminum gimble
