Banksticks are pegs pushed into the ground that carry your bite alarms and butt rests. A buzz bar lets you fit more than one rod onto a pair of sticks, and a goal post system brings the rests together into one neat setup. In this group you will find banksticks, buzz bars and goal post systems.



















The simplest approach is to use two banksticks per rod: one for the bite alarm and one for the butt rest. It is a lightweight solution, and the angle and direction of each rod can be set individually.
A buzz bar fits on top of one or two banksticks, and the alarms or butt rests screw into its threads. When you fish two or three rods, a buzz bar keeps them in line and speeds up setting up. In a goal post system, two banksticks and two buzz bars make the whole setup stable and tidy.
Choose the length of your banksticks to suit the bank: a long stick reaches down from a high bank and holds firm in soft ground, while a short one is handy on a low bank. Hard or stony ground usually calls for a rod pod or a stage stand.
Screw the bankstick into the ground rather than hammering it in, and the threads and the top will last much longer.
