Just looking at peoples thoughts on screw in bank sticks.
I have a couple of different versions and they both behave differently when trying to screw them into the ground.
I 'splashed out' on some Fox black label QR bank sticks but as they have quite a wide diameter they don't actually screw into the ground that well.
Just wondering if there are any other versions that screw in better?

Take a look at Keith's offerings from his company Defiant MPS
Bomb proof stuff.

The Defiant bank sticks look good and they are a good price as well. Do you use them?

Jag Xcavator are very £££. Would thy be worth 2 x the Defiant ones?

Given I don't run either company, I couldn't tell you though JAG stuff holds it's value extremely well which might have something to do with it.
But I can say that both are known for quality products which last; you're better off spending as much as you can afford (within reason) as buy cheap = buy twice.

Hi there,
I have some of Keith's products, also use Jag.
Keith's/Defiant products are ABSOLUTELY bomb proof, I'm actually ordering some of his sticks with the T-Locks on them as I struggle with the small knobs in the cold 😂😂😂 it's what comes of getting older 😂😂😂😂😂
I can't recommend his bankware highly enough, I'd be amazed if you ever heard anything negative about his products as they are built to last a lifetime.
Cheers

They are not much price different to the Fox ones I have.
Do they have any aid (in the way the Fox bank sticks use a bar) to help screwing them into the ground or do you just use brute force?
I've never actually hear of his stuff before but I aways try to buy stuff on recommendations.

I own both Jag and MPS gear. Jag stuff is a bit more tarty but you can't beat Keith's gear for no nonsense reliability. Also a bonus that he uses titanium, so both bomb proof and lightweight.

Looks like I know what bank sticks I'll be buying next then.

Defiant MPS is one of the biggest no brainers of any tackle choice IMO.

You won't regret it,
Screwing the auger point in is real easy, I've never had to use force, just keep on winding 😂😂😂

I use the Summit Tackle sticks as they have the narrowest Diameter I can find (D-Bit's). In theory should go into the ground easier than a wider one.
Top kit too

Do a search of the forum, quite a lot of Keiths stuff used on here
and if there's something you want made Keith might be able to sort it.

If you want to go cheaper a good option would be Cygnet Auger (on clearance sale at JRoss) with the Cygnet (now Trakker) Minimal Banksticks. They are slim like the Summits.
Used these together before - really lightweight kit and does the job.
You take the extendable top bit out of the Minimal Bankstick and put it in the Auger section, so your Auger becomes you bankstick.
I didn't compare side by side with the Summit, but they went in the ground about the same I would say.
Probably weaker, not as tarty looking, but lighter than more expensive gear.
