pole roost

[worms]

thinking of buying a pole roost kit & have seen the maver mx i like the look of
is it any good
cheers worms

i could do with one, but dont no witch one to buy, was thinking about the octoplus multi fit one, as you can tilt it up in the air out the way with out fear of any damage, part from the stupit birds who seem to like to rest on the pole sections.

the maver one would fit the best on your box as it was made of the box you have.

I was looking into these as well as I normally just use banksticks with a rest on top. I had a look at my mates Preston pro roost on Friday and I must say I was impressed by it and I think thats the one I am going for. It is easily adjusted and as it uses the off-box fittings I would imagine it would be very adaptable. I haven't seen any others though.

yes there very good but i am selling my preston box and getting the new octoplus strongbox next week. thay look weird but the bloody brilliant. and light and not bulky, happy days!

I use Maver pool roosts that you use with the bank sticks off box and have never had any problems with them,just use long or short bank sticks to adjust the height if your pushed for room but i don't match fish so they might not look the part i guess but it is cheaper than buying these other roosts i would have thought.

Hi all I have had the on box bump Barr for a couple of years wouldn't be without it .
the deeper groves make it easier on really bad days

Sorry for that in rush yesrday'
I meant the pole roost but.
I do have the bump bar as well
they're both very good and would not part with either of them

Its not a case of not looking the part, sometimes the banks are hard and you can't get a bankstick in, same reason I have a feeder arm instead of just a bankstick.

That's true but with the screw in type bank stick it makes little difference how hard the ground is unless it is concrete.
I used the phrase'look the part' because i have come across this type of thing so many times when people have said and i quote'it looks good'thats why i used that phrase but it makes no difference to me what it looks like if it works and practicle then fine use it because some people do go for these things thinking that they need to too look good,just my opinions and if people want on box or off box attachments thats up to them but i just prefer the bank sticks ordinary or screw in and as i said it as never let me down once,
Tight lines!!!!!!
