Anybody know where you can buy the rod balancing fitting Brent Chapman is using in this picture (taken from Wired2Fish)? I saw a bunch on Shaw Grigsby's rods too in the 2nd Major League Fishing show.

The way I understood it was that those were floats, but could be wrong. I was once.Someone posted a link to them the other day.
I believe that is just a pad to keep the butt from rubbing against your body when you are flippin'. Could be wrong.

better than the other options .. er ..option !
If you need a balancing end cap Bass Pro sells them. They are great for 7'6" flipping sticks.
Roland had one of those things on his flipping rod at Okeechobee. He was fishing in reeds and using the thing to plant the rod butt below his gut to leverage bass out of those reeds. He referred to is as a butt plug.Really, that's what he called it, who am I to argue with Mr. Martin.
They were actually designed to protect your nutz from the metal gimbal fitting on an offshore rod. Not sure why anybody would think they need them on a light rod with a rubber but cap.
I swear someone could see one of the pro's rolling a condom on their fishing rod and someone would run out and buy it then ask why

Watch the "under the lid" video of Shaw on advancedangler.com
He is using it as a balance to make the rod more sensitive.
It would work for a balancer to just add washers till the rod balances out.
