A heavier, stronger design than standard rod rests for use in rough weather and strong side winds when using longer 13ft to 14ft UK beachcasters and all European Long rods up to 18ft.
All three legs are fully telescopic allowing the rest to be extended up to a full 8ft height with increased leg spread for maximum stability in strong side winds and heavy surf conditions, plus the legs are built with a low centre of gravity to position the weight nearer the ground. The telescopic legs also give instant easy individual leg height adjustment when fishing on uneven ground and rock ledges.
Also, in calm sea conditions, by lengthening the rear leg, but shortening the front legs, you have the option of having your rod tips parallel to the sea and low to the ground for improved bite detection.
Other features include extra wide butt cup and rod rest cross bars, height adjustable butt cup bar, deep rod rest cross bar retainer legs with protective shrink tube for greater rod security, leg stabiliser bars, spare trace hanger hooks and ergonomically shaped butt cups.
Folds down to minimum size for carrying. Finished in a smart black protective coating and supplied with a special protective carry bag fitted with rod carrying retainer straps.
Please note: This Rod Rest is designed to be stable in high winds and weather conditions normal rod rests fall over in, plus it has the all round versatility specialist anglers require. Although still light in weight, it is designed to be heavier than standard rod rests for the reasons of improved performance and stability, so if you prefer an ultra light weight rest, then the MTI rod rest may not be for you.
