Korum river tripod buzz bars

[Richard Isaacs]

Am I right in thinking the bars on the tripod are different lengths? Can you not swap the front to the back vice versa?
I use a fox horizon and I have always done this, I'd rather have the rod tips pointing together than splayed. Just a thought.

I wouldn’t know. I have the compact version only which doesn’t have a rear bar. I use it with the screw in cups.
I’d of thought both the front and rear bars would be same length to keep rods same distance apart?

the fronts are longer on the tripod
and jon don’t ever write anything like splaying the tips inward on a tackle tarts forum ... they will find out where you live .. hunt you down .. and torture you

They splay outwards ever so slightly.

Mine also wobble a little in the speed fit adaptor. I've tried split washers, and the provided rubber ones and no matter how tight I get them, the speed fit itself wobbles. Annoying.

I think it’s the rivited joint that wobbles not the speed connection. Mine was doing the same it’s a crap way of joining them. I filled the gap with bearing fit loctite and they are solid now.

It’s the bottom one on mine that always comes loose, if the thread was cut perfectly like Steve Neville stainless there would be no probs

I hate the locking mechanisms on the legs. They don’t grip it hard enough.
I use a tripod probably 2-3 times a year maximum so I’m not going to rush out and get a posh one for that amount of use but if I was a regular sky pointer I’d probably get the fox horizon one like Jon has.

Not had any issues with the legs , It suits me on the ribble , plus it’s not heavy

Does any body know if the standard (not deluxe) version would fit in the centre of a drennan 3 rod quiver?

 

[Gerry Giles]

1ST mod I did was GLUE the block to the buzz bar to stop it twisting on a savage take

 

[Peter Brownbill]

I ended up buying some korum buzz bars you tilt
