Korum Deluxe River Tripod 3 Rod Wide

Korum Deluxe River Tripod – 3 Rod Wide

Conquer demanding flowing waters and secure your rods with absolute confidence using the Korum Deluxe River Tripod (3 Rod Wide). When you are targeting hard-fighting river specimens like barbel and chub on powerful river systems like the Trent, Severn, or Wye, standard banksticks simply cannot hold up against the fierce current or heavy weed buildup. This deluxe, ultra-stable system is engineered from the ground up to provide the ultimate rock-solid foundation, keeping your rod tips held high above the waterline with zero risk of twisting.

Constructed from a premium twin-frame combination of anti-twist extrusions, this tripod completely eliminates the frustrating side-to-side wobble that plagues inferior single-bar models. The central twin-bar frame can be rapidly extended to suit your terrain and locked solidly in place using heavy-duty, oversized cam-lock adjusters. Despite its massive, industrial-grade stability on the bank, the tripod remains incredibly lightweight and portable—weighing a mere 2.1kg—and packs down cleanly into a streamlined configuration for easy transport.

The wide, chunky 3-rod buzz bars are anchored directly into the twin frame in two distinct points, creating an immovable, balanced structure that cannot tilt or twist when a fish tears off downstream. Additionally, Korum has cleverly designed the rear buzz bar with an elevated height profile, providing the essential clearance required to accommodate three large, heavy-duty baitrunner or big-pit reels side-by-side without them clashing.

Key Features & Specifications

Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Fishing Team

Pro Tip: When fishing in high, flooded river conditions with heavy debris pushing down your line, push the sharp, pointed feet of the tripod firmly into the soil or gravel. For ultimate security, utilize the central drop-loop under the main bracket to hang a weighted groundbait bucket filled with heavy stones.

Combined with the rock-solid twin-frame design and the extra wide footprint of the front legs, this creates a completely unmovable anchoring point. This allows you to point your rod tips straight up into the air to minimize line friction in the current, ensuring you read bites clearly without the tripod moving an inch when a three-pound chub or double-figure barbel slams the tip round.

Ideal Applications

• Powerful River Barbel Fishing: The absolute ultimate setup for keeping lines high out of the water column on fast-flowing, heavy rivers.

• Mixed Specimen River Tactics: Ideal when running three separate rods across distinct river tracks for barbel, chub, bream, and carp.

• Steep, Rough River Banks: Perfect for safely setting up on steep rock armor, gravel beaches, or uneven, muddy banks where traditional banksticks cannot penetrate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can this tripod be used for standard carp or specialist lake fishing?

While it is designed primarily as the ultimate river tripod, its incredible versatility means it can be adapted easily for lake use. By shortening the front legs and lowering the twin frame, you can set it up low to the ground as a highly stable rod-pod alternative on hard platforms or concrete bankings where you cannot push banksticks in.

Do the buzz bars accept standard alarms and indicator threads?

Yes. The chunky wide buzz bars are fitted with standard, universal brass threads that will seamlessly accept all popular bite alarms, rear butt rests, and standard indicators on the market.

How fast is the setup and pack-down process?

Extremely fast. Thanks to the integrated cam-lock switches on the legs and frame, along with the quick-release cam switches on the buzz bars, you can transform this tripod from its compact 1.3m transit state into a fully locked-and-loaded 3-rod station in less than two minutes.
