Product Information
Full details
The Fox Line Guard is designed for serious Continental-style boat anglers who need to maintain clear, elevated lines to avoid snagging on reeds, rushes, or underwater debris. By allowing for precise line angle adjustments, it significantly improves bite indication and reduces line abrasion caused by obstacles. While it requires a compatible bankstick or storm pole to function, its robust steel construction and thoughtful design make it an essential tool for difficult swims where traditional line laying is compromised.

FAQs
Can I use this with any bankstick?
Yes, it is designed to fit standard universal threads found on most angling banksticks and storm poles.
Is the finish prone to chipping?
The matte black finish is durable, but as with any steel accessory, avoid over-tightening with tools to prevent cosmetic damage.
Does it come with a bankstick?
No, the package includes the Fox Line Guard only. Banksticks or storm poles must be purchased separately.
How do I see it at night?
The guard features an integrated light-reflective strip. Shining your head torch in its direction will cause it to illuminate clearly.
Is the steel rust-proof?
The steel is finished with a protective coating to resist rust; however, we recommend drying it after use in water.
Troubleshooting
Line slipping out of the guard during casting.
Ensure the bankstick is positioned at an angle that puts consistent tension on the line against the vertical guard.
Thread stiff when attaching to bankstick.
Clear any debris or dried mud from the internal threads of the guard and the bankstick head.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Screw the threaded base of the Fox Line Guard onto the top of your chosen bankstick or storm pole.
- Position the bankstick at the required height and location along your swim.
- Simply slot the mainline through the low-entry point; the high vertical guard keeps the line captured during retrieval.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with all standard threaded banksticks and storm poles commonly used in coarse and carp angling.
Care:
- After use in wet or muddy conditions, rinse the unit with fresh water to remove grit.
- Dry thoroughly before storing to ensure the protective matte finish remains intact.
- Check the threads periodically for any signs of sediment buildup.
