Product Information

Full details

The Avid Lok Down Stabiliser is an essential tool for anglers who prioritize rock-solid bankware and require additional support for banksticks in soft or uneven terrain. By utilizing a unique cam-based locking mechanism rather than traditional screws, it prevents bankstick rotation and provides superior stability for your setup. While it is built to last with high-grade aluminum, it is important to note that it is specifically designed for 16mm diameter banksticks, which may limit compatibility with non-Avid or thinner specialized gear.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will this work with non-Avid banksticks?

Yes, as long as the bankstick features a standard 16mm diameter profile.

Can I use this in frozen ground?

While the aluminum is durable, it is recommended to clear a pilot hole in frozen or extremely hard ground to avoid bending the stabiliser spikes.

Is the rubber collar replaceable?

The internal rubber collar is designed to be permanent, but keeping it clean will maintain its effectiveness for the life of the product.

Does it work with storm poles?

Most storm poles have a diameter greater than 16mm. Please check your specific pole diameter before use.

Will the black coating chip easily?

The coating is hardwearing and designed to resist typical bankside wear, but avoid using metal tools to hammer it into the ground.

Troubleshooting

Stabiliser slides down the bankstick

Ensure the cam lever is fully engaged and that there is no mud or debris between the rubber collar and the bankstick.

Cam lever feels difficult to close

Check that the bankstick diameter is exactly 16mm; if it is slightly larger, the tension may be too high. Clean any grit from the cam hinge.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Superior anti-twist performance compared to screw-thread stabilizers
Lightweight aluminum design reduces overall pack weight

Cons

Requires 16mm diameter banksticks for a secure fit
May require extra clearance in the ground around the bankstick base
Not compatible with thicker storm poles or specialized heavy-duty bankware

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, slide the stabiliser onto your 16mm bankstick before pushing the stick into the ground. Once the bankstick is at the desired depth, push the stabiliser spikes fully into the earth and engage the Lok Down Cam lever. To maintain the unit, rinse off any grit or mud after use to ensure the cam mechanism remains free of debris. Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth and ensure the unit is dry before storing it in your tackle bag to prevent moisture buildup in internal parts. Always inspect the internal rubber collar annually for signs of wear to ensure the grip strength remains at its peak.
