Title: Shimano T-curve bluewater 15-25kg spare butt
Post by: Sam Beeby on July 15, 2008, 06:11:08 AM

I'm trying to source a spare butt section for my Bluewater T-curve 15-24kg overhead. I want a spare butt to extend for landbased casting, but shimano has been hopeless and tell me they can't sell them seperately and all the shops say the same. If anyone out there has one or knows where I can get one, please let me know.
thanks

Thats incorrect Sam, its practically the same as an ordinary 2pc rod. That can be ordered in by any Shimano dealer as spare part. Next time try telling them your butt section is broken, please order another one asap...hehe

Alright if you think, so i'll ask again - but I don't really understand why I have to say its broken before they'll sell me a butt section.
