Stabilizer/ Pod Lock Kit
A simple easy to use Stabilizer/ Pod Anchor Kit made in Stainless Steel. Will fit any 1/2" diameter Bank Sticks/ Storm Poles, the example shown has the extra long 7" Spike to give maximum purchase in the ground but can be made any length at request. The Spike is also a much larger diameter than normally used, this greatly improves stability in soft ground or the worst of the lot, sand.
The kit is also provided with a Barrel fitting that convert's the Stabilizer into a Pod Anchor for when fishing on wooden platforms, requires no fancy tools just a Phillips Screwdriver even the Screw is a bog standard PZ2 x 50mm, so can be replaced with ease if lost or worn out.
Note: the Thumb Screws fitted are a large diameter, they lock anything they are fitted into with ease, there is just no need to over-tighten, in fact over-tightening will damage what is being locked.

Solid Titanium Bivvy Pegs
It almost criminal to go sticking these into the ground! Made 8” long as standard from solid Titanium, and weight just 57 grams each. These don’t have any stupid little squiggly bits cut in them that servers zero practical purpose. These are machined with 20 reverse tapered grooves in the shank, each one acts just like the diamond shape in a Spear’s point to hinder removal, in other words they actually grip the ground in which they are inserted.
These are based on the original Titanium Bivvy Pegs I made over 10 years ago; I still use that very first set I made to this day, a bit scratched after the years of constant use but they will never need replacing with being Titanium.
8" Solid Titanium Bivvy Pegs £7.75 each + Postage
Simple and effective
Bush Mountings
By fitting a pair of these to the base of your Bank Sticks when fishing on Wooden Platforms, they eliminate all movement in all directions
(Except up-wards, but it's not as if your Pod is going to levitate) Available in Black or white, they lock in place by nothing more than a standard wood screw through the centre.
Pair of Bush Mountings = £7.50 + Postage
