And a nee bar, i imagine, isnt far off £30? And then all the faff of unscrewing the alarm holding bits and re attaching them?

And the looks element is obviously an individual thing, as personally, i think they look naf

You're being quite obnoxious for no obvious reason.

If you don't like them don't buy them. Theres no need to **** on someones work for the sake of it

Not really sure sharing my opinion on a discussion forum, and questioning the cost of something can be considered obnoxious.

The 2+1 bars are great if you chop and change waters that have two or three rod limits. Like I do a lot. Or if you fish the sort of waters where some swims are better with a rod on a single stick from time to time.

The way I see these is that they would suit someone who is maybe moving on to a water for a season so you set them up once at home then leave them as is. I'm not sure that's how they were designed but I don't think many people will be using an Allen key on the bank. Better done at home before you set off.

There's lots of comments on here from people asking what size bars to use with their particular reels as some like them super tight (Essex folding handle brigade) and others a wider spread (Katie Price). With this system you can buy the bars that suit your particular preferences (I don't mean a preference for ladyboys like braders)

This gives people the option to have a much more customisable set up. I personally think this will be the real selling point over the ability to switch rods on and off. Plus lots of people don't like adjustable bars and prefer the simplicity of fixed bars but don't want to be limited to maybe just a couple of fixed lengths that are in most ranges and having to make do. This way you can taylor your bar width to the reels and even the luggage you use and obviously the smaller fixed prolight version will weigh next to nothing.

I bought a set. Single sticks, 3 rod bars, 2 rod adapter and the other gubbins came to £160 with discount.

I think people are missing the point slightly of what a collaboration tends to be about. I wouldn't have bothered with Jag stuff, but I've always been a fan of the Sub print. The bars are a bit different and I like the design. Others won't. I don't need them or want them to do anything special, for me they will be a nice thing to own and use.

I don't think the idea was to re-invent the buzz bar, and if people think they are overpriced then they don't have to buy them.

Hi The Heff,

£17.99 for a new 9" bar on its own.

They are not for everyone but thanks for your feedback.

Cheers everyone else - glad to see a forum is still going strong in the age of Insta and Facebook.

I'll pop back on when we drop the rod collab complete with a tin hat!

Keep at 'em

Charles @SUB

I quite fancied these but was hoping they would have some way of adjusting the width.

The JAG Gear is really nice kit and they'd go nicely with my Excavators and State Stands, but I've already got the Custom Angling Modular Bars so I'll probably just stick with them for now as the Sub x JAG don't offer anything extra!

They do look really nice though, if you're n the market for a system like this and aren't worried a out the fixed lengths I bet they're amazingly well built!
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
