    Carp rod or Pike Rod

    I have been using carp rods for piking for years. I don't know for certain but I would imagine there is no difference at all between a piking or carp blank. I have used 2.25tc Normark Cyprio carp rods for piking for years. I have even thrown 6oz live baits 50yds with them along with a 3oz...

    Where can I get something like this from ???

    I saw those sand spikes when I was hunting for the tubes. They are a lot bigger than the small tubes that stick on the end of a bankstick though. I would prefer a piece of stainless pipe if possible blanked off.

    Where can I get something like this from ???

    Hiya Guys, Some years ago I have a fantastic rod holder that was just a piece of stainless steel tube blanked off on one end with a 3/8 BSF bolt through the end and the tube had the front face cut away as in the diagram below. It was absolutely fanstastic for holding a rod at 45-60 degrees...
