Product Information
Full details
The Guru Stealth Reaper Rear Rest - Mini is an essential tool for river anglers and specimen hunters who require a reliable, discreet solution for securing multiple rods. Its primary benefit is a compact footprint that maintains the grip and functionality of the original series while utilizing a toned-down color scheme to blend seamlessly into natural environments. While it excels in stability, its shorter side arms may feel less restrictive than full-sized alternatives for those accustomed to highly aggressive locking rear rests.

FAQs
Is this rest suitable for cork or duplon handles?
Yes, the material is designed to grip both standard duplon and cork handles securely without causing damage.
Can I use this for heavy carp fishing?
It is suitable for most carp setups, though it is specifically optimized for river fishing and natural venue applications.
Does the finish fade over time?
It is built with high-quality, weather-resistant materials designed to maintain its color and integrity during long-term outdoor use.
Is it compatible with all banksticks?
Yes, it uses a standard 3/8 BSF thread which is compatible with virtually all modern fishing banksticks and rod pods.
Why is it called 'Stealth'?
The 'Stealth' designation refers to its toned-down, muted color scheme which avoids bright branding or colors that could spook wary fish in shallow water.
Troubleshooting
Rest feels loose on the rod pod
Ensure the bankstick or pod thread is not stripped and verify the thread size is the standard 3/8 BSF.
Difficulty inserting the rod handle
Check if the side arms have been slightly bent or distorted during transit and gently press them back into their original shape.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly smaller footprint than the original model
- Stealthy, non-reflective finish suitable for pressured venues
- Excellent for use with rod pods and multiple rod setups
- Lightweight and easy to pack for long sessions
Cons
- Shorter side arms may offer less side-to-side security than full-size versions
- Designed specifically for rod pods, which might limit some bankstick configurations
- Not intended for extreme long-distance carp angling where high-grip locking heads are preferred
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply screw the base into your rod pod or bankstick thread until hand-tight. Do not over-tighten, as the plastic threading can be damaged. It is compatible with all standard 3/8 BSF threads, making it a universal fit for modern tackle. For maintenance, rinse the rest with fresh water after sessions on muddy or silty riverbanks to prevent grit from building up on the internal surfaces. Inspect the threads periodically for any debris to ensure a smooth connection.
