I am in the market for some light weight cheapish bank sticks. Ideally something adjustable with a bit of length to them.
What would you go for?

Search Taska Bank sticks on eBay. Someone is selling off a load of old stock at bargain prices. I have some long sticks I use as storm poles or for fishing rods in the water and can't fault them. There's various lengths and styles.

I have bought 8 of the Taska screw tip banksticks in 36". Dirt cheap
Thanks for the heads up as most places seem out of stock of bank sticks.

LOL No not fishing Rainbow but it is abroad.
You got me thinking now, that I have bought ones that are going to be too long. Or was you referring to the quality?

Just had a quick look on the bay at those sticks.They look the same as Fox Camlock sticks.... Great sticks. Modded mine by drilling through the top at 90 deg to the cam with a 6mm bit. Hole now big enough to put a peg thru and use as a T bar Much easier
Much easier

Light weight and cheapish =
Cygnet Minimal or 20/20.
I own the Minimal which I generally use over my more expensive banksticks I own as they are alot lighter, and decent quality.
They don't have screwpoints but no need this time of year. They are nice slim diameter so easy to get in the ground.

36in is pretty long when you consider they'll be double that when extended. I guess it depends how far you'll get them into the ground!

I have used cygnet for years yes it may not be the quality when mick ran the company but its still good value
I have started using the compact pod with 20/20 shortest sticks

They have just been delivered and should have thought about it before just ordering the longest ones. All the sizes were the same price so just thought I can always whack them in a few more times. Lol. They are great quality though for the money.
Might order some shorter ones as well now.
