The Ian Golds Super-Match DB1 Double Tripod is designed for dedicated beach anglers who demand maximum rod stability in challenging coastal environments. Engineered by England international Ian Golds, this 7ft tripod offers a legendary blend of durability and versatility that works on shingle, sand, and rocky terrain. While it provides an incredibly secure platform for two rods, its robust build means it is heavier than entry-level aluminum tripods, requiring a bit more effort to transport over long distances.

The tripod is supplied with the core hardware listed, but it does not typically include a carry bag.
Yes, the double head design works perfectly fine for a single rod setup, providing excellent support.
Yes, the components are designed to be durable, but replacements can be sourced if individual parts become damaged over many years of use.
Slide the extenders over the rear leg to add extra reach, which is useful when setting up on steep inclines to keep the rod tips level.
It is robust enough for most beach environments, including rougher shingle, thanks to its heavy-duty build.
Ensure the spiked feet are positioned in a crevice and use the bucket hook to hang a heavy bait bucket for increased downward pressure.
Rinse the clips thoroughly with fresh water and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the hinges.
Check that the leg lock kit is fully tightened and that the back leg extenders are adjusted to compensate for the incline of the bank.
Setting up the DB1 is straightforward but best done systematically: unfold the legs, engage the leg lock kit to the desired tension, and attach the trace bar and bucket hook. Ensure the spiked feet are pressed firmly into the ground to provide a stable foundation.
Compatibility: This tripod is compatible with almost all standard surfcasting rods, though the wide cups are specifically optimized for holding two rods simultaneously without tangling.
Care: To maximize the lifespan of your tripod, always rinse the legs and head with fresh water after fishing, especially if used in saltwater conditions. Periodically inspect the leg clips and joints for sand ingress and apply a light silicone lubricant if the mechanisms feel stiff. Store the tripod in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
