I always use screw tip ones. Even when the mud is baked hard. Anyone know of a brolly pole with screw tip?

I have a 30 year old Screw in brolly spike, you cant have it! Just gonna measure the Dinsmores banksticks, against a brolly spike.....


OK, so the screw in Dinsmores banksticks, have the same size internal, as a brolly spike.....get a short one, screw it in, and slide your brolly spike into it. Job done!

You can have that tip for free!
 
Korum screw ins.....

They’ll probably be the same as the Korum ones been under the same umbrella. I have a couple of Korum ones and they are ok but the locking mechanism could clamp them a little tighter id say. They don’t take much pressure at all to extend or retract them accidentally. Not bad sticks though. They’ve lasted ok

I bought two of the smallest and two of the longest a while ago and the locking mechanism on one of the short ones broke and doesn’t work if you put any pressure on it at all now, but for one reason or another I’ve since bought four more of the short sticks and they’ve all been fine. For the price they’re pretty good

Dave are you talking about the Korum ones or the Avid ones ?
