Jag rod lockers are probably the best you will get.

Yeah still not great really. Mine have been relegated to my catfish setup where you never fish even slightly tightened up

Sonik rubber stanz grips they do 3 sizes I have found them to be the cheapest and most grippy or Cygnet Quicklok butt rest again which can be adjusted depending on whether cork or Duplon

Thanks for all the further suggestions.
I am now wondering if perhaps I could have changed the set up slightly to avoid it happening. Generally my rods are fairly level - not pointing up or down. Given the water level is slightly lower, perhaps I need to get my rod tips down lower?
It happened quick but the rod bent over and almost "popped" out of the rest rather than getting pulled out of it.

It's a pity John Roberts' aren't still available, they are effective and cost pennies.

Nash butt locks are pretty good.

Anything tight and then double over a black hair band on the spigot and over the rest. It works like a jag one and stays on until you lift up it ends up on the but of the rod when you pick it up or breaks off you can get 100 for a quid at primary

I use the small Solar backrests on the tightest setting and my rods are solid - however as its no longer fashionable to fish with butt rings behind alarms I've had neville ball clips (probably equally unfashionable) whipped on to all my main carp rod set ups about 80mm behind the real seat which basically perfoms the same function.
One set is abbreviated but the other was full jap shrink so I had the last 100mm at the real seat end removed so that the bare blank sits 'tight' in the backrest (rather than duplon etc). Talk to your local rod builder - Bob the Rod did both my sets and it cost less than a set of Jag rod lockers etc and is less faff

I would have to recommend the Jag Lockdowns/Rod Lockers for security (pictured).
I do a fair bit of catfishing and I'm always a bit nervous about the takes, but these do give you piece of mind.
If you can get the hang of pressing the little button on the locker itself nothing will move guaranteed, just make sure everything else is solid
Best out there imo.

Am I looking at this correctly? Stage stands on this pod ?
Curious as to how this is particularly secure ?
If not pinned down ?

PB Products Bungee Fishing Rod Locks are £5.45 and lock the rods in any position, I sometimes fish with my rods completely up even then I use the PB Products Bungee Fishing Rod Locks
There is 1 channel that I fish where you fish with min 8 oz lead, my rods are set up 45° degrees and 1 meter deep in the water the PB bungee lock keeps them perfectly in place.
If I'm in a crazy mood again I might buy the Jag locks but the Pb's do the job just as well I suspect.

You must be missing the pin at the back locking it to the ground.
