Korda Singlez Uprights – Precision Stainless Steel by JAG

The Korda Singlez Upright is the vertical heart of the most stable rod support system ever devised. Designed by Danny Fairbrass and precision-engineered in the UK by JAG Products, these uprights are the definition of “tackle porn” for the serious carp angler. At Gerry’s Fishing, we appreciate that a setup isn’t just about looks; it’s about performance. These uprights offer a rock-solid, ultra-precise foundation for your alarms and back rests.

While traditional setups place the buzz bar at the top, the Singlez system flips the script by placing the bar at the bottom. The uprights screw into the bar, creating a setup that looks like individual banksticks but offers the perfect alignment and spacing of a fixed bar. Each upright features a high-grade, knurled locking collar, allowing you to adjust the height to suit your terrain while maintaining a sleek, low-profile aesthetic.

Key Features & Performance

• JAG Engineering: Machined from top-quality stainless steel by the industry leaders at JAG Products. These are built to withstand a lifetime of bankside use without ever losing their precision threads.

• Knurled Locking Collars: The beautifully engineered collars allow for easy adjustment even with wet or cold hands, ensuring your alarms stay exactly where you set them.

• Modular Versatility: These uprights are the “Lego” of rod support. Screw them into Singlez Buzz Bars for a standard setup, or attach a Singlez Spike directly to the upright to use it as a standalone bankstick.

• Ultra-Stable Foundation: Because they screw directly into the ground-level bar, there is zero “wobble” or twist, even when fishing at extreme angles or in high winds.

• Three Length Options: Available in three distinct sizes to help you achieve the perfect height, whether you prefer your rods “low and mean” or high over bankside vegetation.

Examples of Where to Use

• The “Low-Pro” Setup: Use the 3.5-inch uprights with your Singlez bar for a super-discreet, low-to-the-ground presentation that is incredibly popular on modern day-ticket waters.

• Uneven Banks: If you are fishing a steep slope, use a shorter upright on the rear bar and a longer 6.5-inch upright on the front bar to keep your rods level and your tips clear of the ground.

• Platform Fishing: When combined with Singlez Stage Stands, these uprights allow you to create a professional, “single-stick” look on wooden jetties where pushing banksticks in is impossible.

• Individual Bankstick Style: If you decide to split your rods up, simply unscrew the uprights from the bar, screw on a Singlez Spike, and you have a high-end, individual bankstick ready for a “roving” approach.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

The “Finger-Tight” Rule:

Because the stainless steel threads on the Singlez system are machined to such a high tolerance by JAG, you never need to over-tighten them. A firm finger-tight turn is more than enough to lock everything in place. If you find the threads are getting a bit “crunchy” after a session in the mud, give them a quick rinse in the lake and a wipe down with a cloth—avoid using pliers or tools, as you’ll only mark the beautiful finish of the steel!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these sold in pairs or individually?

Korda Singlez Uprights are sold individually. This allows you to mix and match lengths—for example, using shorter ones for the back and longer ones for the front to suit your specific rod angle preference.

Will my alarms fit these uprights?

Yes. The uprights feature standard 3/8 BSF threads, which are the industry standard for almost every bite alarm (Delkim, Fox, Neville, etc.) and back rest on the market.

Can I use these with other brands of buzz bars?

While the top thread is universal, the bottom thread is specifically designed to screw into the Korda Singlez system (Buzz Bars, Spikes, or Stage Stands). They are not intended to be used as extensions for standard banksticks from other brands.

Do they rust or tarnish?

These are made from high-quality stainless steel. While they may pick up some “bankside grime,” they will not rust. A quick polish with a soft cloth will bring them back to their original “shop-floor” shine every time.
