FAQs
Can I use this kit for two rods instead of three?
Yes, but you will need to purchase separate 2-rod buzz bars if you want to swap them, as this kit is specifically configured for 3-rod setups.
Are the banksticks compatible with standard alarm threads?
Yes, the buzz bars feature standard BSF threads that are compatible with all major brands of bite alarms and rod rests.
Is the stainless steel prone to rusting?
The kit is made from high-grade stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion, though it should be cleaned and dried after exposure to mud or water.
What is the maximum height of the banksticks?
The kit includes 12-inch and 16-inch banksticks, which can be extended further using the internal adjustment mechanism.
Does the kit come with a warranty?
Summit Tackle products are manufactured to high standards; please consult your original retailer for specific warranty claim procedures regarding your purchase.
Troubleshooting
Bankstick feels loose after tightening
Ensure the thumb screw is fully tightened and check that the inner anti-twist section is correctly aligned within the outer tube.
Difficulty pushing banksticks into extremely hard ground
Insert the T-Bar into the milled recess and use it as a handle to apply downward pressure and leverage while rotating the bankstick.
Difficulty tightening thumb screws in cold weather
Use the provided easy-tight key to gain extra leverage on the thumb screw heads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the kit, start by determining the desired spread for your buzz bars and locking the center bolts with the provided easy-tight key. When inserting banksticks into the ground, align the milled recess toward your fishing spot to ensure the T-Bar spirit level is visible during adjustment. For maintenance, ensure you rinse the stainless steel parts with fresh water if used in sandy or saltwater environments. Periodically check the thumb screw threads to keep them free of grit, ensuring the locking mechanism remains smooth. Always store the components in the provided buzz bar bag when not in use to protect the finish from accidental impact.
