i have a 80W tld do i need to put that on a bent but or will a stand up rod work

do you have a fighting chair?

no.

What is the planned use?
Bent-butts suck as stand-up rods, but if you are going to use it as a planer-rod, they work great in that application.
We run 2 80's on 5 1/2 ft straight stand-up rods and they handle perfectly.

thats what i figured i just wanted to make sure before i ordered the rod i plan on using it on my wwwwwb

Are you sure you can't do both?

My stand-up rods are made so you can take the butt out. The you have a straight butt or a bent but - you just plug in the one you want. They are easy to change. Check out AFTCO butts.

Concur with GradyMan. For Stand-up if that will be your method, Straight Butt.
