Loop Head Rod Rest by WSB
The WSB Loop Head Rod Rest is a simple, no-nonsense rest for supporting your rod while you fish. It screws onto a bank stick, so you can set it at the height you need for your swim, and the open loop head cradles the rod securely while still letting it lift out cleanly when you strike or need to reel in.
WSB produce affordable, practical coarse fishing accessories, and this is the kind of basic item that is always worth having a spare of in the holdall. Rod rests have a habit of being left behind on the bank or snapped underfoot, so it pays to keep one or two extra.
Using it on the bank
A loop head can be used as either a front or rear rest. As a front rest, it supports the rod near the reel seat or further up the blank, keeping the line off the water’s surface or at the angle you want for ledgering. As a rear rest, it holds the butt securely and stops the rod sliding when a fish takes. Set the rest slightly higher at the front for feeder fishing, or level for float fishing on the drop.
Why a loop head?
Unlike a gripper-style rest, the open loop puts no pressure on the rod, so it is quick and natural to lift the rod off when you get a bite. It is a good all-round choice for pleasure and match fishing, where you are picking up and putting down the rod frequently.

Compatibility
Designed to screw onto a bank stick. Most bank sticks use a standard thread, but check your sticks before ordering if you use an unusual system.
Care and maintenance
Wipe off mud and grit after each session and keep the thread clean so it screws on smoothly. Avoid over-tightening onto the bank stick. Store it with your bank sticks so it is easy to find, and replace it if the head becomes cracked or bent.
Who is it for?
Coarse, match and pleasure anglers who want a dependable, inexpensive rod rest or a spare for the holdall.
