Product Information
Full details
The Preston Tube Rod Rest is an essential accessory for match and coarse anglers who need a stable, reliable rod support system. It is specifically designed to keep your fishing rod secure during windy conditions, making it an excellent choice for those fishing on open, exposed venues. While its specialized tube design provides superior grip, it is worth noting that it is optimized for specific rod handle diameters, meaning it may not be suitable for extremely thick or oversized rod butts.

FAQs
Can I use this with any rod?
It is designed for standard match and feeder rods. It may not fit rods with exceptionally thick cork or EVA butts.
Does it come with a bankstick attachment?
The product is designed for use with the Preston Offbox system and typically mounts to seat box arms rather than banksticks.
How do I clean the rubber insert?
Use warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove debris, then allow it to air dry completely.
Can the angle be adjusted while the rod is resting on it?
It is recommended to set the angle before placing your rod on the rest to ensure stability and safety.
What is the Fixangle facility?
It is a gear-tooth mechanism that allows you to lock the rest at specific intervals so it does not slip or move.
Troubleshooting
The rest feels loose or droops under rod weight
Ensure the Fixangle locking teeth are properly aligned and the tension bolt is fully tightened.
The rod slides out of the tube
Check that the rubber insert is clean and free of grime, as oil or debris can reduce the friction of the rubber material.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Not suitable for extra-thick rod butts
- Requires Offbox-compatible hardware

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the rest, simply attach it to your existing seat box feeder arm using the standard Offbox connector. Use the integrated locking mechanism to secure the desired angle before tightening the main tensioner. For compatibility, ensure your seat box configuration supports Offbox accessories. To maintain the product, rinse the rubber tube after each session to remove dirt, bait residue, or silt, which can degrade the grip over time. Always store the unit in a dry place to prevent the internal hinge mechanism from seizing.
