Product Information

Full details

The Carp Spirit Blax Cross Bar is an ideal solution for dedicated carp anglers seeking a durable, lightweight, and reliable rod support system. Crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, it provides exceptional stability for your setup on the bank; however, users should note that as a solid stick design, it offers a fixed width rather than adjustable extensions, requiring careful selection based on your specific rod spacing needs.

FAQs

Is this bar compatible with standard banksticks?

Yes, it is designed to fit standard universal bankstick threads used in the carp fishing industry.

Can I adjust the width of the Solid Stick version?

No, the Solid Stick variant is a fixed-width bar and does not offer telescopic adjustment.

What is the diameter of the aluminium tubing?

The tubing features a 16mm diameter, providing a robust and rigid structure.

Will the black finish peel off?

The finish is anodised, which is a chemical process that bonds to the aluminium, making it highly resistant to peeling compared to paint.

Are the thumb screws replaceable?

The screws are designed as no-loss parts, but in the event of extreme mechanical damage, contact Carp Spirit support for compatible hardware.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty threading the bar onto banksticks

Ensure the thread is clean of debris and grit. Check that you are not cross-threading the component.

Thumb screw feels loose or vibrates

Ensure the tri-lobe screw is tightened fully. If the issue persists, check for damage to the thread of the bankstick.

Surface finish appears dull

Wipe with a clean, slightly oily cloth to restore the sheen of the anodised finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High strength-to-weight ratio due to aircraft-grade aluminium
  • Corrosion-resistant black anodised finish
  • Integrated no-loss screw design prevents parts from falling in the mud
  • Tested extensively by professional anglers for reliability
  • Professional aesthetics that match modern carp gear

Cons

  • Fixed width design lacks the versatility of adjustable bars
  • Requires exact alignment with rod pods or banksticks
  • Cannot be collapsed for smaller storage profiles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Blax Cross Bar, simply align the threaded base with your bankstick or pod head and tighten using the integrated tri-lobe thumb screw. Since the screws are designed as 'no-loss,' ensure they are fully retracted before attempting to thread the bar onto your supports to prevent cross-threading.

Compatibility: This bar works seamlessly with most standard UK-threaded banksticks and pods, and integrates directly with the proprietary 2-in-1 key system.

Care Instructions: After every session, wipe the bar down with a damp cloth to remove grit or mud. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads, as these can scratch the anodised coating. If the threads become stiff, a light application of silicone-based lubricant can help maintain smooth operation.
