Leeda Stainless Extending Bankstick 16in

The Leeda Stainless Extending Bankstick 16in is a tough, ultra-reliable piece of hardware built to deliver rock-solid stability for your setup. Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, this 16-inch bankstick handles harsh bankside environments without rusting, bending, or degrading over time.

Featuring a machined spear point at the base, it cuts through hard-baked mud, heavy gravel, and turf with minimal force. The telescopic inner tube is held securely by a robust, easy-grip thumb screw adjuster, allowing you to fine-tune your rod height quickly and lock it tightly into position without slipping. Designed with a standard 3/8 BSF thread, it pairs seamlessly with alarm setups, rear rod rests, buzz bars, and keepnets.

Pro Tip

Gerry’s Pro Tip: When pushing stainless banksticks into hard ground, never force or hammer down directly on top of your bite alarm or rod rest head! Screw in an old spare rest, or place a block of wood over the top thread before applying downforce. If the ground is extra stubborn, pour a little water around the base of the point and let it soak for a minute to soften the earth before driving the spear point home.

Where to Use

Commercial Carp & Coarse Fisheries: Perfect for setting up single rod rests, alarm setups, or rear butt grips on timber platforms, grass banks, or gravel pegs.
River & Canal Angling: Ideal for stabilizing keepnets, bait waiter trays, or feeder rest heads at precise heights along steep or uneven banks.
Pike & Predator Setups: Strong enough to hold front drop-off indicators and heavy alarm setups firmly in place on rough ground during winter deadbaiting sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this bankstick take standard bite alarms and rod rest heads?

A: Yes, it features a standard 3/8 BSF thread, making it compatible with almost all commercial bite alarms, rear butt rests, and buzz bars on the market.

Q: Will the stainless steel rust if left damp?

A: No, the high-grade stainless steel construction is highly resistant to corrosion and mud degradation. However, giving the inner telescopic tube a quick wipe down after wet sessions keeps the extension sliding smoothly.

Q: How far does the 16-inch model extend?

A: The 16-inch base model smoothly extends to nearly double its closed length, giving you plenty of height adjustment to clear bankside vegetation or keep your rod tips angled properly.
