What a bend!
"I am a Butter Stick believer after just a few trips. Great action on both dries and smaller streamers. Perfect for chasing wild trout in SE Alaska."
The 580-4 BUTTER STICK is the do-it-all glass offering in our lineup with its classic feel to protect the lightest of tippet, but enough power to toss flies to larger trout and panfish on most

The BUTTER STICK brings nostalgic design from the days of shag carpet, roller disco, and Hendrix rippin'. And like all things good and vintage, it's as aesthetically pleasing as it is fun and functional. Whether you're fishing blue lines for brook trout, slingin' dries on a tasty tailwater, or chasing bucket mouths at your local bass pond—the BUTTER STICK bend will have you buggin' out.
Fresh for this season is a brand new Translucent Sunshine Yellow blank which looks as radical as it feels in hand. Our T-glass construction improves overall rod strength and our Heritage Design provides a classic medium action casting stroke—taking you back to a time when living in the moment was everything. We've also added new upgrades to the handle, including a Traditional Half Wells for a more comfortable grip, a cork reel seat for (even more) retro styling, and a Threaded Lock Nut to keep your reel exactly where you need it. Now a 4-piece rod for smooth travel and convenient storage.

"It did amazing!"
— Luke B. (5/5)
"I love this rod, the action is so fluid and allows for an accurate cast and all at a great price point. I do wish it came in a saltwater ready 6 or 7wt, but I can stick to the lakes and the rivers I'm used to. And to top it off it looks great too."
— Bryan T. (5/5)
"My five weight butter stick has landed several great fish for me over the last couple months from a 15” small mouth to 20” inch Rainbow, the play in the rod makes every fight more exciting!"

— Callum B. (5/5)
"From a personal water craft on mountain lake to small Rocky Mountain streams, this Butter Stick is SMOOTH! Love the feel and action of this retro fly rod. Teaching beginning fly casters is pleasure with this rod, too."
— Jerry H. (5/5)
"The butter stick is absolutey sick! The feel you get from this little stick is rippin, if you want the best fighting fish in the world try out a butter stick and you will be hooked."
