Product Information
Full details
The Avid All-Terrain Yard Sticks are designed for anglers who need precise and reliable line management in challenging environments. Their key benefit is the secure grip and controlled line release, ensuring accuracy even in tough conditions. A minor caveat is their specialized nature, best suited for specific angling scenarios. These yard sticks feature high-grade anodized aluminum construction, stainless steel auger points for firm ground anchoring, and a screw-out T-bar for leverage. They also include color-coded sliding markers and multiple cord lengths for accurate measurement.

FAQs
What is the length of the yard sticks themselves?
The stick length is 70cm.
What are the cord lengths provided?
The yard sticks come with two cord lengths: a Yellow cord measuring 12ft (3.6m) and a Black cord measuring 16.4ft (5m).
Can I use these on rocky ground?
The stainless steel auger points are designed for secure grip in tough terrains, which includes most rocky or gravelly surfaces. However, extremely large or sharp rocks may pose a challenge.
How do the sliding markers work?
The color-coded sliding markers move along the cord. You position them at your desired measurement point and they help you consistently replicate that distance.
Is the T-bar removable?
Yes, the stainless steel T-bar is screw-out, allowing for extra leverage when needed and can be removed for storage or if not required.
What is the overall weight of the product?
The product weighs 460g.
What are the packed dimensions?
The packed dimensions are 70 x 9.5 x 1 cm.
Troubleshooting
Yard stick is unstable in soft ground
Gently twist the auger point deeper into the ground. If the ground is extremely soft, consider using a wider base or an alternative anchoring method if available.
Line is catching or slipping on the top
Ensure the cord is running smoothly over the curved top. Check the precision-machined grooves for any debris that might be causing interference.
T-bar is difficult to turn
Ensure the T-bar is fully screwed in. Apply steady, even pressure. If resistance is significant, check the ground condition; the T-bar is designed for leverage on firm surfaces.
Corrosion on stainless steel components
Wipe down all components with a dry cloth after use and ensure they are completely dry before storage. Avoid prolonged exposure to saltwater if not rinsed thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Avid All-Terrain Yard Sticks, select your desired cord length (Yellow for 12ft/3.6m, Black for 16.4ft/5m). Unfurl the cord and position the yard stick at your starting point. Insert the stainless steel auger point into the ground, twisting gently until it is secure. For firmer ground, use the T-bar to apply leverage for a stable insertion. Adjust the sliding markers on the cord to your desired distance. These yard sticks are compatible with most fishing lines and are designed for use on various terrains, including firm soil, gravel, and packed earth. To care for your yard sticks, wipe them clean with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and debris. Ensure they are dry before storing them in the provided bag to prevent corrosion of the stainless steel components and maintain the anodized finish of the aluminum.
