FAQs
What is the main advantage of the quick-release knuckle?
The quick-release knuckle allows for very rapid and simple angle adjustments without the need for complex tightening or loosening, saving time and effort during fishing sessions.
What size seat box legs does this cross arm fit?
It is designed to fit 25mm, 30mm, and 36mm round seat box legs.
Can I attach any fishing accessory to this cross arm?
It is best suited for accessories that utilize a compatible threaded insert, such as bait waiters and pole socks, or other items designed for this type of mounting system.
What are the dimensions of the short version?
The short version measures 18cm in length.
Is the aluminum construction prone to corrosion?
The aluminum is a lightweight matt extrusion, and while generally durable, it should be cleaned and dried after use and stored in a dry place to maintain its condition and prevent potential corrosion.
Can this be used for rod rests?
Yes, if the rod rest has a compatible quick-threaded insert, it can be attached to the cross arm.
Troubleshooting
Cross arm is not securing tightly to seat box legs.
Ensure the legs are within the specified diameter range (25mm, 30mm, 36mm) and that the clamping mechanism is fully engaged and tightened.
Accessory is loose on the quick-release knuckle.
Check that the accessory's threaded fitting is clean and properly engaged with the quick-release mechanism. Ensure the locking mechanism on the knuckle is fully secured.
Difficulty adjusting the angle.
Make sure the quick-release knuckle is sufficiently loosened before attempting to adjust the angle. Once positioned, tighten the knuckle firmly to hold the desired angle.
