Handy Rod Rest

If you dont have a tripod or other rod rest use one of the short iron poles builders use to hold up surrounding orange nets of newly laid paving. They have a handy curve at the top of them. Only when they are finished with them of course :wink:

these are heavy things George! is it ok to take the corpo's stuff? there was some piping along the clontarf seafront there a while back, it would make a nice 2 rod + tripod holder. it's perfect but the last thing you want is to be out fishing and being harassed by some authurity figure....maybe i should just by some drainage pipe. anyone know how much this stuff costs (i need a 7foot lenght)?

There is no need to pay for piping. You can pick some up for free in skips or scrap yards.

DPH:A 7FT LENGHT OF 6INCH PIPE IS BOUT 12.50 DATS THE CHEAPEST I SAW IT. :(

Many tackle dealers now carry a range of aluminium monopods and tripods which represent an excellent alternative to piping - usually cheaper too.

You'll get waste cut-offs for nothing. Ask at a building site or check a skip.
