I'm looking at the Korda singlez as they look pretty good however they're pretty pricy for a set of bank sticks.
Are there any other bank sticks like this which are cheaper ?

NGT does a version. Search ebay for NGT singles.

You're right they are expensive. However this is a case of you pay for what you get. Top grade material used and will last for years. The cheaper alternatives like the NGT one use cheaper materials, won't last as long and will be flimsy. Only my opinion of course as I've not tested the NGT ones. It's good to test out cheaper alternatives but I've found most gear/tackle in fishing follows the aforementioned principle. I wouldn't waste your money on the NGT alternative if you can stretch the almost £400 for Singlez including the bag.
I do think the whole set is ridiculously priced. Should be half the price. But that's the price you pay for British manufacturing

I agree the NGT won't last half as long and don't look quite as good as the black singlez. I wouldn't bother spending 400 most lakes i fish only allow 2 rods so would only get the 2 rod set up but still nearly £200 just for that.

Have a look at the Defiant MPS Leopard 2 system , similar concept , possibly copied by Korda ?

There's a fantastic system on the market, more versatile, more stable, and much cheaper than Korda ‘singles'.
They're called Banksticks! Most tackle companies sell them 😜

Get 2nd hand. Plenty come up on eBay. A set on there today with a buy it now £160
Pro Logic K1 low profile pod. Very versatile. £99 quid for the three rod version. For the money it cannot be faulted.

Looked at them but dont get the point or benefit. I use fox euro bars and banksticks either 2 x2 or 1 x3 water depending. I can fish with different heights in water on longer sticks or tight to the floor on nice flat grass swims. Surely unless it's a perfect flat grass bank then they will be of little use.

The ngt system doesn't work the same, it's just a normal buzzbar setup with uprights, and the stabiliser doesn't lock the buzz bar part like the Korda one does. So it's all a bit pointless, so couple that with their crap build quality I'd say even at the price ngt charge their version is a waste of money

You can adjust the height of each of the 3 bank sticks. Just makes it easier to make sure they're all level IMO

I read somewhere that your rods don't need to be level to catch carp. Not sure how much truth there was in that but it certainly makes you think.

Well clearly they don't need to be level I just think it looks better. Don't really need the sarcasm I was asking for an alternative to the singlez that's all
