Any recommendations for decent butt rests fishing locked up, which do the job but won't break the bank?

If you can get them the old esp ones are excellent. They changed them for some reason and the new ones don't look as good.

I just got some Jag lockdowns and rock lockers for this purpose. Very well made, though pricey for what they are.
I used to have some prologic one way rests that were solid and would probably have been 98% as good as the Jag at a Fraction of the price, would be worth a look.

Just want to second what Nairnp said, the Jag lockdowns are incredible bits of kit, your rods are totally locked and they're going nowhere, the only trick is remembering to press the release button when you get a take, but in fairness you get in to the habbit.
Not cheap but then if they're protecting expensive rods and reels it's worth it in my view

You can also fit the rod lockers so the button faces towards the back, which is my preferred way to do it on rods with abbreviated handles

The prologic one way butt rest will do the job just fine.

I apologise. I won't let it happen again. I'm off to beat the soles of my feet with a rubber hose as punishment

Looks very good but what would be the price of the complete 3 rod set up

Anyone use the jag rod lockers with solar p1 rear rest? Do they fit ok? And is the stainless the same colour, if that makes sense?

Cygnet makes some real affordable ones. I use them from my boat when fishing locked up and they do the job.

Jag lockdowns are brilliant a lot of people won't pay the money but I'm so glad I bought mine, black lockdowns with green inserts look amazing
