Anglex ThumbScrew For Breakaway Backrest

Upgrade your beach fishing comfort with the custom-designed Anglex ThumbScrew set, engineered as a direct replacement for the small, fiddly factory thumbscrews found on Breakaway backrests. Designed to eliminate the frustration of adjusting your rod rest with cold, wet fingers or bulky winter gloves, these oversized thumbscrews give you instant, positive grip and torque. Supplied as a convenient pair with premium stainless steel fixings, this simple modification makes tweaking your backrest angle or packing down your gear on the shingle faster, easier, and completely hassle-free.

Detailed Specifications

Compatibility: Direct replacement upgrade designed specifically for Breakaway rod rest backrests
Knob Size: Generous 28mm diameter knob for superior grip and leverage
Pack Quantity: Supplied in pairs (two complete thumbscrews per set)
Hardware: Premium corrosion-resistant stainless steel fixings for long-lasting marine durability
Ergonomics: Textured, oversized profile designed for easy operation with cold, wet hands or thick gloves

Pro Tip

When installing your new Anglex thumbscrews, apply a light smear of marine grease or WD-40 to the stainless steel threads. Because beach casting gear is regularly exposed to salt spray, sand, and damp conditions, this extra step prevents salt seizure and ensures smooth, effortless adjustments session after session.

Examples of Where to Use

Steep Shingle Beaches: Perfect for making rapid height and angle adjustments to your backrest when repositioning your gear on shifting, uneven shoreline banks.
Winter Cod & Flatfish Sessions: Invaluable during freezing night fishing trips when your fingers are numb and fumbling with tiny, standard factory screws is nearly impossible.
Match Fishing Setups: Essential for anglers who need to quickly alter their rod rests between casts to adapt to changing tide lines and heavy surf conditions.
