NASH All-Terrain Butt Lock Xtreme Rear Support

Product Benefits

The NASH All-Terrain Butt Lock Xtreme is an ultra-secure carp rod rest, specially designed to withstand the most extreme conditions. Thanks to its clever two-stage cam-lock system, it holds the rod butt firmly even during the most violent runs, when fishing around obstacles or against the most powerful carp.

Derived from the brand's famous Butt Lock, this Xtreme model adds a secondary locking mechanism that caps the butt and clips into position, providing extra security when the rod is set. Once the lever is folded down, the butt is trapped by the system until the angler lifts the rod to strike, which automatically opens the cam-lock arms. Tested on many demanding waters, including iconic carp fishing destinations across Europe, the Butt Lock Xtreme has proven impeccable reliability.

Technical Specifications

• Effective retention of the rod butt regardless of presentation angle, for low bottle-rig style setups or tip-up positions to keep the line clear of obstructions.
• Robust construction built for intensive use, season after season.
• Available in multiple sizes to fit different rod-butt diameters, from slim to bulkier profiles.

Advantages and Key Features

One of the main strengths of the Butt Lock Xtreme is the peace of mind it provides while carp fishing. By locking the rod effectively, it prevents a sudden run from ejecting gear from the rest, even when the drag is tightened to stop the fish reaching obstacles. This enhanced security lets the angler focus on presentation and strategy without fearing the loss of the rod during a violent take.

The two-step operation is both simple, intuitive and fast. Setting the rod is a natural motion: simply place the butt in the rest so the cams close, then fold down the safety lever. At strike, the rod releases immediately when lifted up, without forcing or complex manipulation. This ideal compromise between firm retention and smooth release makes the Butt Lock Xtreme a valuable ally for technical fishing on gravel pits, powerful rivers or windy large lakes.

As an All-Terrain product, it integrates easily with many types of rod supports commonly used in modern carp fishing, creating a peg that is both stable and secure. It is aimed at experienced carp anglers practicing ultra-precise close-range fishing as well as anglers seeking a reliable solution for long-range fishing.

Usage Tips

To fully benefit from the NASH Butt Lock Xtreme, first install it on a stable base firmly anchored in the ground or on your peg. Make sure the setup cannot tip under the force of a strong run by carefully checking system stability before placing your rods.

When placing the rod butt in the rest, ensure it sits correctly between the cam arms. Allow the cam to close, then fold down the safety lever until it clicks into place. Before tightening your lines, test the hold by pulling the rod slightly backward and upward to verify the assembly is properly secured.

When fishing around obstacles or in cluttered margins, adjust your rod positions accordingly (low, slightly elevated or tip-high): the Butt Lock Xtreme guarantees a reliable grip at any angle, allowing you to adapt the presentation to protect your line from branches, rocks or weed while keeping full control at strike.

Question 2: Will the cam locking damage the rod butt?

Answer: The Butt Lock Xtreme's cam mechanism has been engineered to provide strong holding without marking the rod butt when used correctly. It is important always to position the rod in the intended axis and avoid excessive twisting movements.

Question 3: Does the rest allow for low rods or tip-up positions?

Answer: Yes, one of the great advantages of this carp rod rest is that it ensures excellent grip of the butt regardless of the rod angle. Whether fishing with bottle-rig style setups or with highly elevated rods to clear the line, retention remains reliable and secure.
