Thanks mate, it's a bit of a hybrid. Matrix Compact Patriot base with Korda (Jag) Singlez bars and uprights.

Sorry don't want to hijack the thread but does anyone know of a good butt rest for a small shrink wrap handle. Got a vader x rs and the handle is very slim so not sure for what butt rest...

I got these today, about £3 each.
A cheapo copy of the original solar butt rest but much less expensive, and made from lightweight adonised aluminium.
No better than my old rubber butt rests but a bit more pleasing on the eye.

I got the below ngt rests and added some black draught foam to the inside of them, they fit my rods perfectly and still look very plain / minimal / discreet

I bought the Jag Lockdown due to the feedback on here and they're very good.....however I would say they are a little shallow and if there's enough of a angle between line and rod, the rod can pop out with any decent sort of drag pressure, ie, not totally free running.
I also have the Solar P1 minis and its not a problem with them. I dont think you get the full benefit from these unless the pinch point is above the half way point on the rods diameter, you need to get the tension right to avoid lifting pod off the floor, depends on your lifting/striking style I guess.
I'm not sure I'd rec the lockdown if you fish tips up or are likely to do with any sort of drag tension.

Thanks for that Braders
I'm so out of touch I didn't know of them, could be very useful for certain situations. Come to think of it I might have seen them on some of the YouTube vids, wondered what the band was for and where from.

JAG lockdown, minimal but brilliant and customizable
