FAQs

What is the maximum length of this bankstick?

This model is 36 inches (92cm) in length.

Is this bankstick compatible with standard alarms?

Yes, it features a standard universal thread compatible with almost all modern bite alarms and rod rests.

Does the aluminium rust?

The bankstick is anodised, which provides a high level of corrosion resistance, though it should be wiped clean after exposure to salt or silt.

Can I use this on hard ground?

Yes, however, for extremely hard or rocky ground, use a dedicated bankstick auger or pilot drill to avoid damaging the point of the bankstick.

How do I maintain the finish?

Wipe it down with a damp cloth after each session. Avoid harsh chemicals or metal scourers.

Troubleshooting

Camlock lever feels loose or won't grip

Check if the tension screw on the camlock lever itself needs a slight adjustment with a screwdriver to increase grip pressure.

Bankstick is difficult to extend

Ensure the camlock is fully released and clear away any dried mud or debris from the inner tube.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable anodised aluminium construction
  • Quick and secure camlock height adjustment
  • Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
  • Corrosion-resistant finish for long life

Cons

  • Requires manual locking of the cam lever

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your bankstick, simply loosen the camlock lever, extend the inner tube to your desired height, and snap the lever firmly into the locked position. The 16/20mm diameter ensures compatibility with the majority of industry-standard rod rests and bite alarms. For maintenance, rinse the bankstick with fresh water after use in muddy or sandy environments. Avoid using abrasive sponges on the black anodised finish to prevent scratches and ensure the internal locking surface remains free of grit or sediment for smooth operation.
