Product Information
Full details
This FOX Gripper Rest 22cm is designed for coarse anglers seeking a secure and reliable rod support. Its key benefit lies in its deep cut-outs and cushioned uprights that prevent rod slippage and damage. A potential caveat is that it's specifically sized at 22cm, which may not suit all rod lengths or fishing styles without additional accessories. The Gripper Rest features a durable overmoulded brass thread, rubber overmould for cushioning, adjustable end caps for versatile positioning, and deep cut-outs for a secure rod hold.

What material is the thread made of?
The thread is made of a durable, overmoulded brass for reliable attachment.
Can I use this rest with my existing rod pod?
Yes, if your rod pod has a compatible standard female thread, the Gripper Rest should attach securely.

Troubleshooting
Rod feels insecure in the rest
Ensure the rest is firmly attached to your bankstick or pod. Check that the rod is seated correctly within the deep cut-outs and that the adjustable end caps are providing sufficient tension.
Difficulty screwing the rest onto a bankstick
Check for any debris in the brass thread of the Gripper Rest or the thread of the bankstick. Gently try to clean both and re-attempt screwing them together.
Uprights do not stay in desired position
Ensure the adjustable end caps are tightened sufficiently to lock the uprights in place. If the issue persists, inspect the adjustment mechanism for wear or damage.
