Product Information
Full details
The Korum Swan Neck Distance Marker Sticks are designed for specimen and carp anglers who need high precision in their casting. These sticks allow you to accurately measure and lock in fishing distances to ensure your bait reaches the exact same spot every time. The primary benefit is the versatile swan neck shape, which keeps the line secure regardless of wind conditions or line type; however, users should be aware that proper setup requires enough flat bank space to insert both sticks securely at the recommended distance.

FAQs
How far apart should I place the sticks?
You should place them exactly one rod length apart using the provided measuring cord to ensure accuracy.
Can I use these with braided main lines?
Yes, the moulded grip ridges are specifically designed to hold braid securely when the sticks are oriented inwards.
Are these sticks suitable for hard ground?
They are designed for standard bankside terrain. If the ground is extremely hard or rocky, be careful not to force the top sections.
Why does the swan neck design help in wind?
By flaring the sticks outward, you create a deeper 'cradle' that prevents the wind from blowing the line off the stick before you have finished wrapping.
Do I need to maintain the plastic sections?
Just ensure they are kept clean of grit and mud, which could degrade the grip over time.
Troubleshooting
Line keeps slipping off the sticks during wrapping
Check the orientation of the swan neck. If using braid or fishing in wind, ensure the neck is facing inwards to utilize the grip ridges.
Sticks wobbling in soft ground
Ensure the sticks are pushed deep enough into the ground. If the soil is too loose, try to find a spot with firmer turf nearby.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, choose a flat area on the bank where the ground is firm enough to hold the stakes upright. Use the provided measuring cord to ensure the distance between the two sticks is identical to your rod length. Once finished, remove the sticks by pulling them vertically to prevent bending. Wipe the sticks down with a damp cloth to remove mud or grit before placing them in your bag. This prevents debris from interfering with the line-grip ridges during your next session. If the ground is exceptionally hard, avoid using excessive force on the delicate top section; ensure you push the base into the soil evenly.
