Product Information
Full details
The Zebco Trophy V Rod Rest is designed for anglers who need a stable, versatile support for their fishing rods during stationary setups. Its primary benefit is the specialized V-shape head with a built-in line slot, which facilitates a clean, responsive strike while protecting the fishing line from friction or damage. While it provides excellent stability for general shore fishing, it is a single-purpose component that requires a separate bankstick or rod pod for full deployment.

FAQs
Is this rod rest compatible with all banksticks?
Yes, it features a standard brass thread that fits almost all banksticks, rod pods, and buzzer bars on the market.
Does it hold the rod securely in high winds?
While it is excellent for general use, it is an open V-rest. In extreme winds, a deep-locking cup or rod gripper might be more secure to prevent the rod from being blown out.
Does the line slot prevent line damage?
Yes, the slot keeps the line away from the rod blank and the rest material, which helps prevent friction and wear during the wait.
How many rests come in a pack?
The product is sold as 1 unit per pack.
Can I use this for sea fishing?
It can be used for sea fishing, but ensure you wash it with fresh water after every session to prevent salt buildup on the brass thread.
Troubleshooting
Rest wobbles when attached to the bankstick
Ensure the brass thread is fully tightened to the bankstick, or use a rubber washer to create a more secure fit.
Difficulty threading the rest onto the bankstick
Check the threads on both the rest and the bankstick for sand or debris. Clean with a soft brush and try again.
Pros and Cons

- Universal thread fits most standard hardware

- Not suitable for high-wind conditions compared to deep-locking cups
- Requires a separate bankstick or rod pod

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your rod rest, simply align the brass thread on the bottom of the Zebco Trophy V with your chosen bankstick or rod pod mount. Rotate the rest clockwise until it is snug against the mounting surface; do not overtighten, as this can strain the brass thread or the bankstick housing.
Compatibility is broad, as the brass thread utilizes the industry-standard pitch found on almost all modern fishing accessories. For care, simply rinse the unit with fresh water after each trip, especially if used in salt or brackish water environments. Store in a dry, shaded area to maintain the structural integrity of the plastic components and prevent corrosion of the brass threads.
