The Avid Lok Down Bankstick is designed for carp and specialist anglers who prioritize rock-solid rod stability and long-term durability in their terminal tackle. Featuring a revolutionary cam system that applies even pressure for a superior grip, these banksticks ensure your setups remain secure even under tension. While the high-grade aluminum construction offers a perfect balance of weight and strength, users should note that the specialized cam mechanism requires regular cleaning to maintain its peak locking performance in muddy conditions.

Yes, they feature a standard universal thread that is compatible with the vast majority of third-party buzz bars and rod rests.
No, they are constructed from high-grade aluminum, which is significantly lighter than stainless steel while maintaining excellent strength.
The system applies pressure to the entire inner surface and uses an internal rubber collar, which provides far superior grip strength compared to traditional single-point cams.
While the aluminum shaft is very strong, if you are fishing extremely hard or rocky ground, ensure you use a dedicated bankstick borer or pilot to avoid damaging the stick.
Ensure they are dry before storing them in a tackle bag to prevent any potential grime buildup inside the locking mechanism.
Clean the inner shaft and the internal rubber collar of any debris, grit, or dried mud, then ensure the cam lever is fully tightened.
Rinse the cam assembly in clean water to dislodge trapped sand or silt and ensure no debris is stuck between the moving parts.
Setting up your Lok Down bankstick is straightforward: simply adjust the inner shaft to your desired height and turn the cam lever to lock it firmly in place. Ensure the locking collar is fully engaged to activate the rubber internal grip.
To ensure compatibility, these sticks feature a standard thread that fits most common bite alarms and rod rests. If you are using the full Lok Down range, ensure that your buzz bars and stage stands are properly tightened into the internal thread.
For care, it is recommended to rinse the banksticks with fresh water after use in wet or muddy conditions. Avoid using abrasive tools to clean the cam mechanism, as this could damage the internal rubber collar. A soft brush or damp cloth is usually sufficient to keep the locking mechanism smooth and grit-free.
