NASH Butt Lock Rod Support

Product benefits

Designed for demanding carp anglers, the NASH Butt Lock is a rear fishing rod support that holds the rod butt in a vise-like grip. Thanks to its lever system, it prevents the rod from leaving the rest, even when the drags are tight or the takes are particularly violent. This level of security is ideal for any carp fishing where you fish locked, near obstacles or in cluttered areas.

With a single movement — lift the rod — the cam action instantly releases the levers. The rod then frees smoothly and without jolts, allowing a fast, clean strike. This operation makes the Butt Lock both very secure and extremely intuitive to use, even when responding to a night take.

Compact and discreet, this secure rod support fits naturally on a rod pod, buzz bar or spike, and complements modern bite alarms perfectly. It provides a reliable solution to prevent the rod being thrown forward or pulled into the water, while guaranteeing full freedom of action during the fight.

Technical specifications

The NASH Butt Lock rod support uses a lever-lock mechanism with cam action. Once the rod butt is inserted, the arms close around it and press it firmly against the support body. The pressure applied is sufficient to withstand repeated pulls from a powerful fish without the risk of the rod coming out of its housing.

• Lever-lock mechanism with cam action for a vise-like grip.
• Automatic opening of the levers when the rod is lifted upwards for smooth release.
• Profile designed to match the butt of most carp rods and ensure a secure hold.
• Compatible with common mounts: rod pods, buzz bars and standard threaded spikes.
• Robust construction built to endure the demands of modern carp fishing.

The Butt Lock is offered in several variants to accommodate different diameters and handle types, making it suitable for a wide range of rods without limiting the user to a single model.

Advantages and key strengths

Compared with a simple open rod rest, the NASH Butt Lock provides a significant increase in security. It greatly reduces the risk of a rod being pulled from its rest during a violent take, strong wind or snag. For the carp angler who fishes with tight drags or close to obstacles, this translates to greater peace of mind and better protection of equipment.

The automatic locking combined with immediate release when lifting the rod saves precious seconds on the strike. There is no need to force the rod out or constantly watch for it tipping over. This measured ergonomics improves the angler’s reactivity while protecting the blank’s integrity.

Another strength is that this carp fishing rod support is particularly well suited to long sessions, day or night. It remains reliable session after session without complex adjustments. It is suitable for experienced anglers as well as users who want to secure their rods more without complicating their setup.

Usage advice

To get the most from the Butt Lock, start by screwing it firmly onto your rod pod, buzz bar or spike, ensuring the thread is fully engaged. Position it so the rod can sit on axis without excessive strain on the blank.

Place the rod butt into the support and push gently until the levers close around it. Check the hold by pulling slightly forward: the rod should remain firmly locked. At a take, simply grip the rod by the handle and lift sharply upwards; the levers will open automatically to allow immediate release.

Remember to regularly check the support’s mounting on its thread, especially after transport or several strong takes. After each session, a simple rinse with fresh water and a quick clean will keep the mechanism clean and functional, even in muddy or dusty conditions commonly encountered in carp fishing.
