Unlikely but never say never.
I've been more than happy with the £4 fox butt rests over the last decade

. . .agree . . .although I too have just spent £60 on 3x mini P1 solar backrests . . .in my defence they're more anti-snag than the jag ones . . .lol
Thought the Jag backrests were called 'lockdown' . . .presumably not?!
Actually think the jag product is a good solution - can see it being useful for Barbel / Catfish anglers / France etc but its still a little OTT for most UK waters IMHO . . .

your probably right, and possibly is overkill. but for the sake of £20
& If only for my own peace of mind it's worth it such a small amount.

Quite impressed with mine, I've always fished a pretty tight clutch, why let them build up a head of steam.
Still only as good as your bank stick securing.

I'm not judging
I don't have a need for them, as you said, snag fishing with the butt eye in front of the alarm, snag ears, using the cup type butt rests when fishing tips high...
But they look good and would help when you want a tidy three rod setup in a tricky situation, whereas I'm happy to have three rods at different heights pointed in different directions

and that's what makes me laff . . .guys using super lightweight NBrice pods (set at shortest length) looking beautiful but not daring to scratch the spindly legs by actually pushing them into the dirt together with jag bungees . . .good luck with that - now not only one rod is going in the drink but all 3x and your sexy pod . . .!
Soz - in a judgemental mood . .

I'm using these rod locks because wildlife uses my rods as branches to sit on, so, my rods can flip over due to their weight.
This is a real pain in the ass when your rods are placed in the water 10 to 30m away from your holding area

Summink none of the naysayers have cottoned onto it the anti theft angle with these types of setup.
Upstairs for thinking chaps 😉

I just use jag lockdowns in black I won't bother with these new ones, but over kill if you ask me
Better safe than sorry,for what they cost is it worth losing a rod and reel that would cost a hell of alot more money to replace.

I'm using them so I can be 3 swims down with my mate enjoying a crate of stella, safe in the knowledge that fishing locked up with these bad boys on the fish will nail itself, swim around for a bit until it's knackered and be ready to scoop up when I eventually wander back down....saves me taking my receiver as well and leaving it in my mates swim....win, win

is right there is a swim on my syndicate were a couple of blokes have had there rods dragged in.
you have to fish semi locked up /locked up and always stay on your rods,i only put one rod in there anyway ,but my point being the jag rod lockers a perfect for me anyway.

I bought the Lockers after a rod going in, luckily I always take a diver with me just in case 
after that experience I use them all the time not just for snag fishing

Could you not have found a diver who's wetsuit matches your lockdown/rod locker inserts?
How do ever expect to catch?
I've got green inserts. I've even got a green coffee cup. You can't be too careful.
