Predator Fishing Banksticks & Rod Pods

What are bank sticks for?

Bank sticks are primarily used to support fishing rods at the bankside. They provide stability to the rod, ensuring it stays in place when waiting for a bite.

When should I use bank sticks and when should I use a rod pod?

Bank sticks are ideal for anglers who prefer a minimalist setup or want to fish their rods slightly further apart facing different directions - say off a narrow headland. They offer flexibility and can be adjusted based on bank conditions. Rod pods, on the other hand, provide an all-in-one setup, perfect for those using multiple rods simultaneously or fishing in challenging ground conditions. If you intend to fish from a reservoir wall or wooden platform - a rod pod will be the obvious choice! If you plan on a stationary approach with multiple rods, a rod pod is your best choice.

Why do some bank sticks have spiral points?

Spiral points on bank sticks are designed to provide better grip and stability, especially in softer ground or muddy banks. The spirals make it easier to screw the bank stick into the ground, ensuring a firmer hold.

Should I buy extendable bank sticks?

Extendable bank sticks are versatile and can be adjusted to suit various bankside conditions and angling needs. If you fish in different terrains or require varied heights based on water levels or vegetation, extendable bank sticks are a valuable investment.

What is a buzzer bar?

A buzzer bar is a horizontal bar that can be attached to a bank stick or a rod pod. It allows anglers to set up multiple rods side by side, often used with bite alarms to signal when a fish takes the bait.

Will my drop back indicator fit onto my bank stick?

Most drop back indicators are designed to fit standard bank sticks. However, it's essential to check the compatibility or the diameter of your bank stick and the indicator's attachment mechanism to ensure a proper fit.
