Thanks, annoyingly started watching that video and discounted it as assumed he would cover setup initially.

Cheers

Arrived, can’t see instructions anywhere on how to setup.

For the guys that have these, do I trim the elastic to fit rods and use the zip tie to hold ends together?


Seems the logical way but want to check before I start cutting

The Solar back rests have been fine for me. I hope I didn’t jinx a mate third fish in savage bite rod slipped forward hit the front buzz bar stage stand that then collapsed all rods in the water he followed a bit of a disaster. I don’t even think he was locked up

Had the jag lockdowns and bungees since they first came out, best set up I've ever had

You never know what's going to pick your bait up abroad

I’ve fished locked up to snags before with my normal lockdowns and they did the job they didn’t let the rod slip, good idea for some just not for me

Could you not have found a diver who’s wetsuit matches your lockdown/rod locker inserts?

How do ever expect to catch?

I’ve got green inserts. I’ve even got a green coffee cup. You can’t be too careful.

I bought the Lockers after a rod going in, luckily I always take a diver with me just in case
after that experience I use them all the time not just for snag fishing

is right there is a swim on my syndicate were a couple of blokes have had there rods dragged in.
you have to fish semi locked up /locked up and always stay on your rods,i only put one rod in there anyway ,but my point being the jag rod lockers a perfect for me anyway.

I'm using them so I can be 3 swims down with my mate enjoying a crate of stella, safe in the knowledge that fishing locked up with these bad boys on the fish will nail itself, swim around for a bit until it's knackered and be ready to scoop up when I eventually wander back down....saves me taking my receiver as well and leaving it in my mates swim....win, win

Better safe than sorry,for what they cost is it worth losing a rod and reel that would cost a hell of alot more money to replace.
