Anglex ThumbScrew For Ian Golds Tripod

Upgrade your beach casting setup with the custom-designed Anglex ThumbScrew and spacer, engineered specifically to fit Ian Golds sea fishing tripods. Designed to solve common stability and handling frustrations on the shore, this aftermarket upgrade allows you to easily secure and tighten down your tripod head bar even when your fingers are cold, wet, or wearing bulky winter gloves.

Detailed Specifications

• Compatibility: Custom engineered to fit Ian Golds beach casting tripods

• Component Kit: Includes custom-molded thumb screw, precision-machined spacer, and a 45mm stainless steel bolt

• Mounting Flexibility: Versatile design allows the thumbscrew to be mounted either above or below the tripod leg depending on your preference

Pro Tip

When assembling the thumbscrew onto your Ian Golds tripod, apply a tiny drop of light machine oil or marine grease to the thread of the stainless steel bolt before tightening. This prevents salt corrosion from locking the threads together over time, ensuring you can easily strip down and pack away your tripod after a wet session on the beach.

Examples of Where to Use

• Night Pier and Jetty Fishing: Invaluable when you are working in low visibility or cold night air, allowing you to quickly lock down your head bar by feel without fumbling with awkward standard nuts.
