ALL TELESCOPIC TRIPODS SOLD INCLUDE A SINGLE TOP FITTED AS STANDARD.
THEY ARE IDEAL FOR BOTH SALT AND FRESH WATER FISHING
The telescopic tripod was designed with transportation in mind. Travelling abroad by plane, the 4ft telescopic tripod reduces to 26 3/4” (680mm) in length
and should easily fit into your suitcase. A 6ft telescopic reduces to 39inches (990mm) in length and should fit easily into the boot of the smallest car.
THE FOLLOWING TWO PARAGRAPH’S ARE APPLICABLE TO BOTH THE STANDARD AND TELESCOPIC TRIPODS
The tripods are fitted with a single top rest that should suffice most requirements. If you wish to fit alternative accessories the
thread is 3/8” BSF,
this is standard to all fishing equipment allowing any combination of tops to be used.
All metallic construction giving maximum rigidity. The pivot pins are supported at both ends, saddle washers are
fitted both sides of each leg eliminating any unnecessary movement. The pivot pins are riveted in place.
The hinge assembly
is riveted
to the
front leg
using two stainless steel pop rivets. No unnecessary nuts and screws!

Trace Bar
The Trace Bar has two functions, the obvious, to hang your trace’s on, the second function is to stabilise the tripod. As the hinge assembly is rigid,
to retain the front legs in a fixed position will stop the tripod from closing or opening further.
You will see from the photo below, the clips
I use are marine components used on racing yachts,
not the plumber’s pipe clips that most of my competitors use.
