1| DETERMINE ROD BLANK DESIRED
An Adjust-A-Butt System can be installed in a ready made or old rod with good guides!
Check out how to Revive A Rod at manleyrods.com
Determine the rod blank desired before ordering the Adjust-A-Butt System. The System can be
installed inside or over the butt of the blank; either way is just as strong.
The Adjust-A-Butt System should fit allowing enough room for a good glue joint. As the rod blank
tapers, filler will be needed. NOTE: Getting a close fit means less filler & more sensitivity.
2| DETERMINE SIZE ADJUST-­‐A-­‐BUTT NEEDED
See the Size Chart for the ID (Inside Diameter) & OD (Outside Diameter) of each Adjust-A-Butt rod
blank receiver (Size A, B & C).
If installing over the rod blank, make sure the ID of the receiver is larger than the butt of the rod
blank.
If installing inside the rod blank, make sure the OD of the receiver is smaller than the ID of the rod
blank.

Designed for Freshwater heavy rods or less (not designed for
flipping sticks). Works best in medium heavy or less & 7’11” or less
with extension rod fully extended. A Freshwater rod (lighter weight
than Inshore) can be used for Inshore fishing. Normally an Inshore
medium rod is equal to or heavier than a heavy Freshwater rod.
3| DETERMINE FINISHED ROD LENGTH
Determine the finished rod length with the butt extended to shortest length.
NOTE: Length may be cut (only from the butt secsion) to achieve the desired
finished rod length. It is not recommended to cut more than 3” to 4” from the
butt section.
REMEMBER, the Adjust-A-Butt System is 1-¼” long from where the butt of
the blank meets the Lock Nut section.
IMPORTANT: The diameter of the rod blank butt section will
decrease when cut. This should be considered when ordering
components. Use filler when needed.

1| DETERMINE RIGHT SIZE SYSTEM TO USE
2| DETERMINE FINISHED ROD LENGTH
The Adjust-A-Butt System for Fly Rods was only designed for 6 weight & up. As long as the ID of
the rod blank will receive the Extension Rod of the Adjust-A-Butt System up to 6” is all that is
needed for a correct build.
The Fly Rod Adjust-A-Butt System only adds ¾” to rod length & matches up
to the reel seat & does not affect any part of the build or trying to subtract or
add to get the correct length.
NOTE: The Adjust-A-Butt System for Fly Rods comes in one size & matches up to half of all the fly
reel seats on the market today, as long as the Adjust-A-Butt System OD will go inside the reel seat
with enough room for glue joint. If the reel seat is larger, filler is needed to make a good glue joint or
fit.
