Wondering if anyone has feedback on either of these?
Just joined a new syndicate and from my walk around it's shaggy so assume I'll be fishing locked up depending on swim.
Never used a bungee before, never had the need so have no idea what's decent. I use Jag lockdowns so I fancy the matching Jag but ultimately function is the most important for me.
Cheers

The Jags are brilliant, I have mine set up facing the other way, (towards the back of the reel) for 2 reasons, 1, I have duplon handles so the bungee goes around the base of the reel seat and 2, you can just flick the release button with your finger as you pick up the rod, all in one action...

Yep. Guilty.

The JAG ones are the bollox, not used PB's version. The JAG's are the nuts for fishing super locked up. One of the very best bits of kit I've bought in a very long time.

Great bit of kit though (Jag)

Jag fine tuned the concept to an excellent design. This comes with a price tag.
Pb bungee cords are doing their job. It's more bulky and rather cheap.

I had those on a set of Century NG's I owned many moons ago, they did the job, well I never lost a Rod to a hard take that's for sure.
That said the PB ones now do the job for me on a set of rods without the Nev ball clip.

Won't stop the rod from being lifted off/out of the butt grip when fishing locked up on really tight lines?

If they had the SS20 reel seats it would take a rhinoceros to pull them in!

. . .no. Using John Roberts grips and putting ones butt eye 'behind' your alarms (and possibly adding a bankstick to either side to stop kiting) is usually more than enough for snag fishing . . .just means you can't use a ridiculously short pod / bankstick set up . . .the alternative is an SN Ball peg which I think looks retro cool anyway (Century NGs used to have them as standard)
Mind you, with the distance people have their reels from the alarm head these days (sounding like an old fart now) the reel itself should stop rods being dragged in . . .albeit possibly smashing those cheap chinese made alarms . . .lol

Its just carp jewellery, the jag stuff looks great, but you couldn't convince me to buy a £60 set of bungee straps to stop my rods getting dragged out of a £60 set of butt rests.
How many isotope slots do they have?
