Full details

It is perfect for those seeking a lightweight, professional-grade support system, though users should note that as a standalone bankstick, it requires careful pressure during insertion into exceptionally hard ground.

FAQs

What is the maximum height of this model?

This is the 12-inch variant, which provides ample adjustment range for standard bank fishing scenarios.

Is this bankstick compatible with all alarms?

Yes, it utilizes the standard universal thread used by nearly all major carp fishing alarm brands.

Does the anodised finish chip easily?

The finish is high-quality and durable, but it should be protected from contact with sharp metal objects like heavy bank keys.

Can I use this without buzz bars?

Yes, it functions perfectly as a single bankstick for individual rods.

How do I prevent the aluminum from seizing up?

Rinse the internal sections with fresh water occasionally and ensure they are dried before long-term storage.

Troubleshooting

Cam lock lever feels loose

Use a screwdriver to tighten the small tension screw located on the opposite side of the cam lever until it clamps securely.

Bankstick sinking in soft mud

Ensure the bankstick is pushed deep enough into the substrate or use a stabilizing butt rest to distribute the weight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable, high-grade aluminum construction
  • Fast and secure height adjustment via cam lock lever
  • Professional-looking black anodised finish
  • Provides exceptional stability with its 16/19mm diameter

Cons

  • Requires a T-bar or ground spike for very hard ground
  • Fixed length range specific to the 12-inch variant
  • Anodised finish may scratch if handled roughly with metal tools

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the bankstick, simply loosen the cam lock lever, extend the inner pole to your desired height, and snap the lever shut. Ensure the lever is tight enough to hold under load; if it slips, adjust the tension screw on the cam mechanism. The bankstick is compatible with most standard buzz bars and alarms featuring a universal British thread. For care, keep the threads clear of sand and grit. After fishing in wet or muddy conditions, rinse the stick with fresh water and allow it to air dry fully before storing it in a tackle bag to prevent corrosion and protect the anodised finish.
