Im wanting to replace my standard fox butt rests because they dont grip my new rods and slide forward easy when on the pod.
Can anyone recommend me a but rest which will grip my rod well, I am using Shimano TX2's

Solar p1 rests are very good. 2 size options. Pricey but will last an age. Just depends on what sticks etc youre using and wether you are bothered about colour matching etc

Pop then in a cup of warm water then close the opening, when they cool they'll hold the shape
That's assuming the new rods are a similar handle to the old ones, if you've gone from Cork to shrink tube it ain't gonna work

Ive messed around with cheaper ones for a few years but finally got myself some jag lockdowns start of last year by far the best I've ever used, wish I got them sooner

Another thumbs up for the Solar P1 back rests. The grip on these is adjustable so you can tighten to suit your particular rod grip. I tend to swap between these and the Jag's but the Solar's really are a good shout 👍

These are what I use but on different rods. Cheap, do the job perfectly and no extra bulk or weight.

I have the Jag Lockdowns and think they are great but.....you still can't really beat the John Roberts Butt Grips at about £3.50 each

Used the same John Roberts grips for donkey's year's. When I went from duplon grips to shrink tube I just put a tie wrap around each grip and dropped them in a pan of boiling water for a few seconds to narrow them down.

The ESP ones are fine in three different sizes to suit, Cork, duplon, or Jap shrink or abbreviated.

Looks like a *******isation of a jag pod and korda singles, also made by jag though

Just bought some of the ESP ones for a two rod set up I have put together, impressed, grips the rods nicely
