Roberts Windy Rod Rest
Description
Rod rest head that is designed to hold the rod securely not unsurprisingly in windy conditions. Aimed at the pike angler market.
In Use
I have been using this product for 5 years.
Works well in windy conditions but these properties gives this product some advantages for the barbel angler.
Due to the extended ears, for want of a better word, the rod cannot be ripped off the rest as can happen on other types when a barbel heads for the nearest snag.
Smooth design realises the simple dream of the line not catching on the strike. .
Sensitivity of touch legering is unhindered by contact with the rest due to the gap beneath the area the rod is held.
Conclusion
Great product.
I like that I can still touch leger effectively using it and that you can’t get tangled. The tangling issue was a particular pain with other rests!
