You only cut the elastic and blob it once, when you first get them, so they are set up for the diameter of your rods and the tension you prefer. It takes five minutes per rod at most. You don't do that every time.

shame they could come up with a better idea than a couple of cable ties as they are charging rather a lot of money for them ?

I've been using the small Nash one. It's so tight that the bank stick is usually still attached to the rod when I lift the rod on the take. On the plus side no chance of the rod disappearing into the lake.
I'd recommend the large one

where can you get a set of these? Not the nicest looking thing is your a tackle tart but very practical in the real world

I'm sure they function perfectly, but not for me. They look like something someone fashioned from a box of old tractor parts they had knocking about. I'm not a fan of the cord hanging down either. But each to their own, im not knocking the products function, i just dont think its as neat and compact as the Rod Locker.
Cost wise yes they are a bit cheaper at eleven quid rather than eighteen, but the Jag version is more engineered with its spring loaded mechanism so i guess thats where the extra is.

COULD it be that your opinion is BIASED because you work for Jag occasionally ? that you feel the need to slag off the ORIGINALS ? ( and get real thats what you are doing )
and most of the top carp anglers in the world fish Rainbow lakes and it was guys that fish there that designed these bullet proof Butt bungys
they are DEFINITELY tried and tested in probably the most testing conditions you could possible get with giant sized record weights carp in that lake and snags that would shock anyone that hasnt seen them
and they infinity adjustable to any size rod via a stainless collar and grub screw not some cable tie and of course if you wanted to you could cut off the excess

I would rather buy the rainbow version over the jag one simply because the guy who made them is a one man band and I'll rather support him than a large company.
And I know people who use the original one so I know it's tried and tested and value their opinions more

Er. I'm not slagging them off, I went out of my way to say that I'm sure they work perfectly well, but I don't like the look of them. I'm entitled to an opinion on how something looks arent I? Whether they've been tried and tested by nasa doesn't make a jot of difference to I I like the look of them.
As for being biased, I like my jag gear, like very many people and I think the look of the rod lockers looks better on the set up I have. That's not biased. That's just stating my opinion on them.
I don't blindly support every jag product. If you read back over what I put about the zero pod, I said although well made, it's too big, too heavy and takes too long to set up for me. I said I can see a place for it for some people but it's not for me.
Interesting that you said you think that the butt bungy is the best in your humble opinion. So it's ok for you to have an opinion on something but not other people? I think this lockdown might be getting to you a bit Gerry.

The Jag version looks far neater,they both probably do exactly the same job.Its down to personal choice at the end of the day,if I was to ever need anything like it then my money would go on the Jag 100%

I saw these in use at Rainbow
before I left I sold my 55lb Minn Kota to a German guy whos motor had packed up both he and his mate were using them and honestly they oozed quality you would only ever buy them once and they would last a lifetime
yes agreed the Jag ones are smaller and neater but I know what I would buy if ever I went back to carp fishing the proper ones
