Manufactured by JAG in the UK using precision CNC machining, these uprights offer a rock-solid foundation for your rods while maintaining a sleek, non-glare anodised black finish.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these compatible with standard banksticks?
No, the Singlez uprights are designed specifically to work with the Korda Singlez system components.
Can I use these on hard, gravelly banks?
While the aluminium is strong, they are designed to be pushed into earth; avoid hammering them into hard surfaces to prevent damage.
Do I need to worry about the finish scratching?
The anodised finish is durable, but like any premium tackle, it should be kept in a protective case to prevent cosmetic scratches.
What is the primary benefit over stainless steel?
The main advantage is weight reduction; they are significantly lighter for transport while maintaining comparable structural strength.
Who manufactures these for Korda?
These components are manufactured in the UK by JAG using precision CNC machining.
Troubleshooting
Locking collar feels gritty or hard to turn
Clean the threads with a soft brush and fresh water to remove any grit, then apply a tiny amount of silicone lubricant.
Upright wobbles in the ground
Ensure the ground spike is fully inserted and the soil is sufficiently packed around the base; consider using a T-bar if ground density is low.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: attach the 5" upright to your base spike and press firmly into the ground. Ensure the knurled collar is tightened once your preferred height is set to prevent any slipping. These uprights are part of the broader Korda Singlez ecosystem and are best paired with official Singlez components.
To care for your gear, rinse off any mud or silt with fresh water after each session, especially after use in salt or brackish water. Wipe dry with a clean cloth before storing to prevent dirt buildup in the threads of the locking collar.
