Got a set of ESP distance sticks and really like them as there quite thin and easy to get in the ground .

Large pencil rubbers stuck on top of your distance stix solves the safety issue.

If the grooves are an issues then would some wraps of electrical tape not help to keep line in place rather than sliding up, could even get some of the 5mm reflective stuff to help them become more visible during the hours of darkness

Distance sticks are so last century. Spot on fish is the way to go for the man on the bank. Only £399.99 so £800 for two not sure if the string is extra

3m do a glow in the dark tape, that I ordered for that purpose. The order was cancelled by the supplier and I've not gotten round to reorder. May do that now.

Gardner wrappers at less than a tenner also double up as a bankstick should you need them to.

I had a problem buying wrap sticks for a while Im over it now though.

After getting in 3 almighty messes with my distance sticks during the night (Operator error no doubt!) Twice the line came off the top and also I also managed to catch a wrap on the rod Aaarrgh!
I'm up for getting the Korda ones does anyone who have them know where I could get them cheaper?
Cheers All
