On my last outing I used a peg made of concrete/ compacted gravel boarded by a wooden surround. Lots of space but impossible to insert a bank stick even with a rubber mallet! I managed with a bank stick wedged into the area next to the boarding for the buzzer and a butt rest on my chair. Yesterday I thought I needed a pod but did not want some large complicated mechano set I would hardly use. I decided to go the tripod route and decided to try and adapt a mini camera tripod I already had and did not use!
I removed the adaptor which would connect a camera and inserted an unused Korum landing net adaptor by drilling a larger hole and using the thread on the Korum to in effect self tap through the hole. The tripod, a velbon is very sturdy and has extending legs. It will now hold a buzzer or a rod rest very securely as in the above pic. It has cost me nothing as I already had the bits and I will put it to the test later this week. I reckon I can use it on any surface if needed but it will be fine on rock hard pegs!
What other adaptions of items used for other purposes have members tried for fishing? The buzzer shown is a cheap Chubb in its hard case!
Another pic showing the Korum adaptor !
