Some have special seats which can take a removeable fighting butt, or just a cap if you prefer. It's normally held in by rubber O ring aound a metal stalk which fits into a hole in the seat. In general they're fixed though.

Hi', HE. Some butt caps ( fighting butt caps ) are screw-ins, some are push-fits as described, or similar. The fighting butt cap on one of my Daiwas fell out, unknown to me, and I replaced it with a decorative one made from Brazilian Purple Heart wood, plus half-round rubber button. It's permanently cemented in now!! TC
