Dinsmore 30″ Arrowpoint Extending Bankstick

Dinsmore Arrow Point Banksticks

Welcome to Gerry’s Fishing! When it comes to setting up your rods on the bank, you need a rock-solid foundation that you can rely on, no matter the terrain. The Dinsmore Arrow Point Banksticks are a fantastic, high-quality, general-purpose bankside essential designed to offer absolute stability and ease of use. Whether you are fishing a weekend carp session or a quick evening river trip, these rugged banksticks ensure your alarms, buzz bars, and rod rests stay firmly locked into position.

The standout feature of these banksticks is the precision-engineered arrow point ground end. This sharp, aggressively tapered profile allows you to drive the bankstick cleanly into tough, baked-summer clay, gravel-infused soil, or rugged riverbanks where standard flat or blunt banksticks simply bend or fail. The top of the bankstick features a universal British standard screw thread, making it completely compatible with virtually all modern bite alarms, butt rests, rod grips, camera adapters, and buzz bars on the market.

Examples of Where to Use

• Hard Baked Clay & Gravel Banks: The ultimate choice during the dry summer months when lake and river banks bake solid. The arrow point slices through hard crusts effortlessly without needing a bankstick mallet.

• River Barbel & Chub Setups: Perfect for driving deep into rocky or gravelly riverbanks on venues like the Ribble or the Lune. They provide a rigid, unyielding platform that won’t twist or wobble when a powerful barbel rips the rod tip down.

• Lightweight Roving & Stalking: Ideal for mobile anglers who like to travel light. Rather than carrying a bulky rod pod, a couple of these compact banksticks in your hand or quiver give you an instant, rock-solid setup anywhere.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

Pro Tip: When driving your bankstick into exceptionally hard ground, never push down or hammer on your expensive bite alarms or plastic rod rests! Always thread a small, cheap steel bankstick converter or a sacrificial metal nut onto the top thread first, or simply push the bankstick into the earth before screwing on your accessories. This completely protects the delicate brass threads and plastic housings of your gear from accidental damage!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Will my bite alarms fit onto these banksticks?

A: Yes, absolutely. These banksticks feature a universal standard thread that is the industry standard across the globe, meaning any alarm from Delkim, Fox, Nash, or Korda will screw on perfectly flush.

Q: Are these banksticks adjustable in height?

A: Yes, the Dinsmore range features a robust telescoping design. You can easily extend the inner pole to your desired height and lock it securely into place using the heavy-duty thumbscrew locking system.

Q: Do they bend easily if you hit a rock under the soil?

A: No. Dinsmore manufactures these using heavy-gauge, durable metals designed specifically to absorb the pressures of being forced into rugged banks. The arrow point helps guide the stick around or past small subterranean obstructions rather than buckling under pressure.
