Default Bank Rod Rest
Does anyone know where I can buy a bank rod rest, something to rest my rod when hopefully I'm unhooking a fish or just resting,(pun), the rod, for a while.
Have looked on the web and seen things advertised in the States but yet to see anything here in the UK.
Must be a market for them as they help to stop rods getting stood on or accidentally be damaged.

How about a bank stick used in coarse fishing?

Get a bank stick then a rod rest top,hey presto,some of the large quiver rod rest tops are good,plenty of groves to lay the rod top ontoSome pole rests are soft and have deep grooves for the sections to lay in.Your local tackle shop will /should have a good selection.
