Hi , folks , I've been at one of my favorite fishing ponds this morning , quite a few fishing platforms there , since the banks are rather swampy or otherwise not accessible due to bushes or wider reed margins . Just thought that I would share , how I build up my rods on such platforms , I've been using these devices for quite a few years now . I do not use any tripods or even the rodpods that carp anglers utilize ,..... I can just be more versatile with these "Y" rod rests , ....set up my rods at almost any angle and position that I want to , particulary important when fishing multiple feeder rods or other bottom sinker set-ups . Also those clamps and wedges do not require any extra carrier bag to take along , they just fit into a side pouch of my rod bag , just like the "Y" rod rests as well . Two things I forgot to mention in the video , ...first is , that I have secured the upper pronge of the carpenters clamp with a crosswise rivet of steel , ...on these cheapo clamps these are often not fitted in well and tend to fall off , when fixing the carpenter's clamp(and fall into the water then) , .......if you stop the vid at 1:03 to 1:07 and have a close look , you can see the rivet connecting the pronge and the main rail of the clamp . Second is , that the lower screw connecting the aluminium square tubing to the clamp's rail MUST be a screw with a round or flat head , ......it is ESSENTIAL for the screw's head to reach into the inside of the square tubing to act as a ...
