You can get the cygnet auger in 12mm and 16mm.
Which one did you get, and what sized banksticks are you trying to fit in it.

Just had a reply from the shop and they have confirmed that some of the Cygnet bank sticks are coming up large and won't fit the auger is they are sending me 2 x more that they have tested and fit. Top service from Total Fishing Tackle!

Is Cygnet stuff crap then? I thought their stuff was ok?!?
If they don't work out I'll definitely buy the MPS ones.

A few years back I bought 6 Cygnet banksticks, within a week, the ends with the screwthread had broke off. They are only glued onto the stick, useless design.
I took them back to the shop and found I was not the first with the problem and had them replaced with JRC xlite sticks. They proved to be just as useless. When pushing them into very hard ground, the ends once again broke off on them. They were fitted on better by being threaded onto the stick. The only problem is, the wall of the stick is only about 1mm aluminium, where the screwthread is, it reduces the thickness of the wall to about 0.5mm, hence any lateral force pushing the stick into the ground will snap the end off.

I've only ever bought the Cygnet storm poles. They were cheap, but they were junk. Never again.

I've had cygnet tbar banksticks for about 10yrs now. All still going. Only thing is when I had to be a mallet head at Thorney and smashed a grub screw off
Tbh, I wouldn't replace them with more cygnet sticks as it seems quality has gone downhill in recent years. Can't fault my that's though. Also have the snugs buzzbars which have done well.

I guess time will tell.
Been using the Nash ones for 2 years now, no issues at all..
Keep in mind the substrate determines the best option here, not the manufacturer..
