Product Information
Full details
The Korum Front Locker Rest is an essential tool for dedicated coarse and specimen anglers who prioritize rod security without sacrificing strike responsiveness. Its primary benefit is the combination of a deep, high-ear profile that prevents rod movement during heavy winds or aggressive takes, while utilizing soft overmoulded rubber that allows for an immediate, snag-free release. While it provides excellent protection for your rod blanks, it is specifically designed for standard rod handles and may require adjustment if using exceptionally thick cork handles or specific oversized custom grips.

FAQs
Will this fit all banksticks?
Yes, it features the industry-standard British thread compatible with almost all commercially available banksticks and pod systems.
Can it be used for feeder fishing?
It is primarily designed for carp and specimen fishing, though it can be used for feeder fishing if you prefer a locked-in rod position.
Will the rubber damage my rod handle?
No, the overmoulded rubber is designed specifically to be soft and protective to prevent marring of the rod finish.
Does it come with a bankstick included?
No, the product is the rod rest head only.
Can the ears be bent to fit a thicker rod?
The material is designed for a specific level of flexibility. You should not attempt to permanently bend or deform the ears as it may compromise the rubber structure.
Troubleshooting
Rest feels loose on the bankstick.
Use a small rubber washer on the thread to create tension and ensure the rest stays locked in the desired orientation.
Rubber is collecting dirt and grit.
Clean the rest using warm water and a soft-bristled brush to reach the inner corners of the ears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply screw the thread onto your chosen bankstick or rod pod buzzer bar until firm. Do not overtighten the thread to avoid stripping. Regarding compatibility, this model fits standard rod diameters; if you find the fit is too tight for a specific rod, avoid forcing it to preserve the rubber structure. Care is simple: wipe down with a damp cloth after each session to remove grit, mud, or bait residue. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemical solvents which can degrade the overmoulded rubber over several years of intensive use.
