Full details
The Sonik Camlock Bankstick (12-inch) is an essential tool for carp and specimen anglers looking for a reliable, stable support system for their rod alarms and rests. Featuring a high-grade aluminium construction with a durable black anodised finish, it offers the perfect balance of strength and portability for various bank environments. While the camlock system provides secure adjustment, users should ensure the lever is fully closed to maintain maximum rigidity during high-wind conditions or when fishing locked-up.

FAQs
Does this bankstick come with a point for hard ground?
Yes, it features a sturdy pointed tip designed for easy penetration into standard soft-to-medium bank soil.
Is the thread standard for all bite alarms?
Yes, it features a universal thread compatible with all standard carp fishing bite alarms and butt rests.
Can I get this in longer sizes?

How do I maintain the camlock mechanism?
Keep it free of debris and occasionally wipe down with a damp cloth; avoid using heavy lubricants as they attract dirt.
What is the diameter of the bankstick?
It uses a 16/20mm construction, which refers to the diameter of the inner and outer tubes for added stability.
Troubleshooting
The inner tube slips under pressure
Adjust the tension screw located on the opposite side of the camlock lever using a small screwdriver or hex key.
Camlock lever is difficult to close
Loosen the tension screw slightly until the lever closes with firm but manageable pressure.
Bankstick stuck in the ground
Wiggle the stick side-to-side while pulling upward to break the suction of the mud; avoid hitting the top of the bankstick with heavy tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure the camlock lever is clean and free of silt or grit, which can build up after heavy use in muddy terrain. To clean, simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and allow it to dry before retracting the bankstick. This model is compatible with all standard British thread buzzers and rod rests. When storing, keep the bankstick in a dry tackle bag to preserve the anodised finish and ensure the camlock hinge operates smoothly for future sessions.
