Cush It Rod Butt Cushion by Luna Sea Sports

Fighting a big fish without a belt means the rod butt digs into your stomach or thigh. The Cush It from Luna Sea Sports is a foam cushion that slides over your rod butt and gives you instant padding without strapping on a fighting belt. The tapered neck grips the rod butt, and the wide cushion spreads the load across your body. It floats, resists UV and saltwater, and stores in any rod holder or tackle bag. Two sizes cover everything from inshore reds to offshore tuna.
  • Foam cushion slides over any rod butt
  • Big Game (10") and All Species (6") sizes
  • UV and saltwater resistant
  • Floats if dropped overboard
  • Faster to deploy than a fighting belt

Ditch the Belt, Grab the Cushion

Fighting belts work, but they are a hassle. You have to strap them on before the bite, adjust the fit, and deal with the bulk between fish. The Cush It is a different approach. Grab it out of the rod holder, slide it over the rod butt, and start fighting. When the fish is in the boat, pull it off and toss it back. No buckles, no straps, no adjustments.

The Big Game model is 10 inches long with a 5-inch diameter cushion. It fits any rod butt and provides serious padding for extended fights with tuna, mahi, and wahoo. The All Species model is 6 inches long and sized for 3/4 to 1-1/4 inch rod butts - perfect for inshore and light tackle work. Both versions are UV resistant, saltwater proof, and they float. If it goes over the rail, just circle back and pick it up.

No Straps, No Buckles

The Cush It slides over the rod butt and stays in place by friction. The tapered neck grips the rod and the wide end sits against your body. No buckling, no adjusting, no fumbling when a fish hits. Grab it and go. This is the fastest way to get padding between yourself and a rod butt during a fight.

Floats and Resists Everything

The foam is UV resistant, saltwater resistant, and buoyant. Drop it in the ocean and it floats right on the surface. Leave it in the sun all season and it holds up. The material does not absorb water, so it never gets heavy or waterlogged. Rinse it off and it is ready for the next trip.

Two Sizes for Every Fishery

Big Game (10 inches, $29.99) handles heavy offshore rods and extended fights with tuna, wahoo, and billfish. The large cushion surface distributes pressure across a wide area. All Species (6 inches, $25.99) fits standard inshore and light tackle rods. Use it for redfish, snook, jack crevalle, or any species where you want padding without the bulk of a belt.

How to Use the Cush It Rod Butt Cushion

1. Keep the Cush It in a rod holder, tackle bag, or hanging in the cockpit for quick access

2. When a fish hits, slide the wide end of the Cush It over the rod butt

3. Push it down until the tapered neck grips the rod butt firmly

4. Rest the cushion against your stomach, hip, or thigh and fight the fish

5. When the fish is landed, slide the Cush It off the rod butt

6. Rinse with fresh water and store for next time

What is the difference between Big Game and All Species? +
Big Game is 10 inches long with a 5-inch wide cushion that fits any rod butt diameter. All Species is 6 inches long and fits rod butts from 3/4 to 1-1/4 inches. Big Game is for heavy offshore rods; All Species is for inshore and light tackle. See our tuna fishing guide for help choosing offshore gear.
Does the Cush It replace a fighting belt? +
For many anglers, yes. It provides rod butt padding without any straps or buckles. For extended fights with very large fish where you need a gimbal pin lock, a fighting belt is still the better choice. But for quick fights and convenience, the Cush It is hard to beat.
Will it fit my rod? +
The Big Game model fits any rod butt diameter. The All Species model fits butts from 3/4 to 1-1/4 inches. If you fish both inshore and offshore, getting one of each covers all your rods. Browse our mahi fishing guide for tips on matching gear to target species.
Does it really float? +
Yes. The foam is buoyant and does not absorb water. If it goes overboard, it sits on the surface. Circle back and grab it. This also means it never gets waterlogged or heavy after a wet day on the water.
How do I clean it? +
Rinse with fresh water after each trip. The closed cell foam does not absorb water, salt, or fish slime, so a quick rinse is all it needs. For stubborn stains, use mild soap. It dries quickly and is ready for your next trip. Pair it with a mid-weight fighting belt so you have options for every situation.
What colors are available? +
Blue, Pink, and Silver in both Big Game and All Species sizes. Pick the color that matches your boat or your personality. Check out our full fighting belts collection for more fish fighting gear options.
