Back rod rests

[Mark J Smith]

Can anyone recommend a good set of back gripping rod rests that can take a cork handle. Been using the Enterprise ones which are really good but they just don’t seem to last, seem to get brittle and snap after a while if knocked.

 

[Ash Gould]

Solar p1 back rests; if you have your rods straightish then these are bob on.

Morning,

I use these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/25639031...sPA8bDQMO4-XHsrC_q7u38UifiIkDKuBoCUokQAvD_BwE

They are brilliant. Durable, take all cork handles I've used and are solid.

Thanks

I’ve been using the ones sold by Chris Brown angling products, they are inexpensive and compact size I’ve been using for the last 3 seasons with no issues so far.

Tnx for that; I use his sticks, buzz bars etc but have never used the backrests ! I’ve got at least 5 of them. I will give them a try.

Jag lockdown ones are brilliant

 

[Ray Heath]

I use jag lockdowns and These
The rod never moves even on a savage take

 

[Terry Harman]

Another for jag lockdowns you get 3 different size rubber inserts in a pack

 

[Rob Linwood]

Yeah can’t fault the jag ones they might seem a little expensive but they work to perfection

 

[Chris Belcher]

For corks you'll need the larger Solar P1. . . fully adjustable so you can gauge how tight you want the release to be quickly and easily.

I'm a TOTAL Jag fanboy (and have owned the lockdowns) but must say that whilst pretty they are nowhere near as good as Solar P1 . . .two different sized backrests and a multitude of rubber inserts (that you have to purchase in addition) that are a pain to get in and out as you try and ascertain a perfect fit . . . they don't retain rods on savage takes half as well as the P1 either IMO . . .which is why most users also add the Jag rod locker bungee system (which tbf IS a good product!) making them a little superfluous. . .

 

[Vince Maddock]

I use the korum XL angle tilt butt cups (or leverage butt screw) along with their security rests on the front.

I just use the but screws if im fishing with the rods even slightly elevated, never let me down, but i do fish locked up and sit right next to my rods,just like any self respecting barbel angler should

 

[Graham Martin]

Just started using NGT rear gripper rests. So far ok and less than 3£ each.

 

[Damian Kimmins]

I used to just fish using the Solar P1, then added the Jag Rod Lock and then Wolf Multi Angle Lock.

ESP for me have been spot on, if you want to use your own then you could use a butt bungee like the Sonik version, they're great, especially for some of the savage takes on say the Trent

 

[Tim Marks]

I occasionally use 2 ft of 8mm bungee cord and 3 cable ties. Central loop goes round the rod rest and an adjustable loop in either end goes round the rod butts ( a slight cork flare helps) . Just make sure the bank stick is well in....
On my venues I try and avoid 3 ft twitches and I don't get many bites anyway !
