Product Information
Full details
The Sonik SPLIT STICK TWISTLOCK BANKSTICK (10 inch) is designed for anglers who need a robust, adaptable way to convert traditional buzz bars into a single base bar setup. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-grade, chunky aluminium construction with a reliable twist-lock mechanism that ensures stability on any terrain, though users should note that as a 10-inch model, its maximum height is fixed to a specific range compared to longer variants in the product series.

FAQs
Does this come with a stabilizer?
No, the bankstick is sold as a standalone unit and does not include an auxiliary stabilizer.
Can I use this with other brands of buzz bars?
While designed for the Sonik Stanz range, it features a standard screw thread that is compatible with most universal buzz bars and alarms.
What is the maximum extended height?
This is the 10-inch model; while it is telescopic, it is optimized for heights near its base length plus the extension.
Is the black finish paint or anodised?
It features a high-quality black anodised finish, which is more durable than standard paint and resistant to chipping.
How do I maintain the locking mechanism?
Keep the thread and the collar free from grit, and occasionally wipe with a clean, dry cloth.
Troubleshooting
Twist lock collar slipping
Clean the inner telescopic section to remove any dirt or grease that might be preventing the collar from gripping properly.
Bankstick difficult to insert into dry, hard ground
Use a bankstick T-bar or a rubber mallet to gently drive the point into the soil to prevent damaging the top fitting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, push the sharpened point into the ground until stable. Loosen the twist-lock collar, extend the inner telescopic section to your desired height, and tighten the collar clockwise until firm. Ensure the threads are clear of grit before tightening. This bankstick is fully compatible with the Sonik Stanz buzz bar range and standard rod grips. For care, rinse with clean water after use to remove mud or debris. If the inner shaft becomes gritty, wipe it down with a damp cloth and allow it to dry before retracting it to prevent internal scratches.
