Trakker ACS Pro Goalpost Kit (Conversion Components)

Total stability is the holy grail of rod support. At Gerry’s Fishing, we’ve seen every setup imaginable, but nothing beats the rock-solid foundation of a “goalpost” arrangement. The Trakker ACS Pro Goalpost Kit components allow you to transform your standard bankware into a rigid, non-twist platform. Born from the legendary 20/20 range, the ACS Pro series is the refined, premium choice for anglers who refuse to let their setup budge an inch.

Manufactured from high-grade 6082 aluminium with a super-hard anodised finish, these components are designed for the dedicated carp angler. The “Goalpost” configuration uses two banksticks per buzz bar (one at each end), providing a much sturdier base than a single central stick. Featuring the signature ACS Pro 22mm collars and precision-engineered stainless steel capsules, this kit provides a simple, solid, and quick-change solution for your rod support.

Key Features & Performance

• Anti-Twist Stability: By using a bankstick at either end of your buzz bar, you completely eliminate the “spinning” or tilting that can happen with single-stick setups during a violent take.

• Premium Hybrid Build: Utilizes robust 16mm aluminium profiles combined with lightweight yet incredibly strong 13mm carbon inner sections for a rock-solid lockdown.

• Quick-Change Integration: The interchangeable stainless steel capsules (2x2x2cm) offer a low-profile, high-strength connection point that allows you to swap between setups in seconds.

• Tough-as-Nails Finish: The super-hard anodised black coating is designed to resist corrosion and the inevitable “clanking” of bankware in your quiver.

Where to Use the ACS Pro Goalpost Setup

• Big Pit Carp Fishing: When you are using heavy big-pit reels and 3.5lb test curve rods, the weight alone can cause single-stick setups to lean. A goalpost setup keeps everything level.

• Fast-Flowing Rivers: If you are barbel fishing or targeting carp in a river, the pressure of the current on your lines puts immense torque on your banksticks. Goalposts prevent your bars from twisting under the strain.

• Hard-Packed or Gravel Paths: When you can’t push a bankstick in deep, using two sticks (Goalpost) provides much better structural integrity than one shallow stick.

Pro Tip from Gerry’s Fishing

“The secret to a perfect goalpost setup is alignment. Use the ACS Pro Palm Saver to get your first bankstick in perfectly straight. Then, attach your buzz bar to that stick and use it as a guide to mark exactly where the second bankstick needs to go. This ensures your buzz bar sits perfectly level without any ‘binding’ on the threads, giving you that laser-straight, professional look on the bank.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What exactly is in the ‘Goalpost Kit’?

This kit provides the essential stainless steel capsules and conversion components required to turn your ACS Pro adjustable buzz bars into a goalpost setup. You will need two banksticks per buzz bar to complete the “goalpost” look.

Can I use these with my older Trakker 20/20 gear?

Yes! The ACS Pro range is fully backwards compatible with the 16mm profile of the original 20/20 range. You can use these stainless steel capsules to upgrade your existing setup.

Why should I choose this over a rod pod?

A goalpost setup is significantly lighter and more compact than most pods. It also allows you to spread your rods much wider or keep them tighter than many fixed-frame pods allow, all while offering the same “zero-twist” stability.
