Product Information
Full details
The Westlake Feeder Rod Rest in Black is designed for feeder anglers seeking a secure and reliable rod support. Its key benefit is the 'rod lock' angle feature, which ensures your rod stays firmly in place during bites, preventing accidental dislodging. A minor caveat is its specific design focus on method feeder fishing, which might be less versatile for other fishing styles. This practical and affordable rear rod rest offers excellent grip thanks to its ribbed foam covering and is built to screw onto modern feeder arms.

Troubleshooting
Rod slips out of the rest
Ensure the 'rod lock' angle is positioned correctly to hold the rod. Check that the ribbed foam is clean and free from mud or slime, which can reduce grip. Adjust rod placement slightly within the rest.
Rod rest does not fit feeder arm securely
Verify that you are using a standard feeder arm with a compatible thread. Clean any debris from the threads of both the feeder arm and the rod rest. Ensure you are screwing it on straight and not cross-threading.
Foam covering appears worn
While the foam is durable, excessive wear can occur with very rough handling. Clean the foam gently. For significant damage affecting grip, consider replacement.
