Product Information

Full details

The Solar Tackle Black-Lite Bankstick Stabiliser is designed for anglers who prioritize rock-solid rod support on varied terrain. It is perfect for those using thin banksticks who need to prevent rotation or wobble in soft ground, providing essential stability during heavy wind or aggressive takes. While it offers premium durability, it is specifically sized for a 13mm bankstick diameter, so users with thicker or non-standard rod rests should check compatibility before purchase.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will this fit banksticks from other brands?

Yes, as long as the bankstick has a 13mm outer diameter, it will be compatible.

Does this package include the bankstick?

No, the stabiliser is sold as an individual accessory for your existing banksticks.

Can I use this on a wooden platform?

No, the 90mm ground pin is designed for soil, mud, or soft bank conditions, not for platforms.

Is the finish prone to chipping?

The hard-anodised finish is highly durable and resistant to chips, but avoid dropping it on concrete to maintain the aesthetic.

What is the weight of the stabiliser?

The unit weighs approximately 0.06kg, keeping your total gear weight to a minimum.

Troubleshooting

Stabiliser feels loose on the bankstick

Ensure you are using a standard 13mm bankstick; if the stick is thinner, the thumb screw will not provide a secure lock.

Ground pin is difficult to push into the ground

Do not force the pin into hard, stony, or frozen ground as it may bend. Use a rubber mallet carefully or select a softer area nearby.

Thumb screw feels stiff

Clean the threads of the stainless screw with a dry cloth and apply a tiny drop of fishing reel oil if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight design at only 0.06kg
  • Extremely durable hard-anodised coating
  • Prevents bankstick twist in soft ground
  • Matches perfectly with the Solar Black-Lite range
  • Captive thumb screw prevents loss

Cons

  • Limited to 13mm bankstick diameters
  • Requires manual adjustment of the ground pin
  • Not intended for extremely hard, rocky ground

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, slide the stabiliser onto your 13mm bankstick before pushing the stick into the ground. Once the bankstick is at your desired depth, push the 90mm stainless ground pin into the earth through the stabiliser's mounting hole. Use the captive stainless thumb screw to tighten the unit securely against your bankstick.

Compatibility: This unit fits any 13mm diameter bankstick. Ensure your equipment matches this measurement for a secure fit.

Care: To maintain the finish, rinse the stabiliser with fresh water after use in silt or saltwater. Dry it before storing to prevent grit from compromising the thumb screw threads. Avoid using abrasive sponges on the hard-anodised surface.
