Anglex Double Butt Upgrade Bar

The Anglex Double Butt Upgrade Bar is a premium, UK-designed replacement bracket engineered to eliminate the frustrating flex, twist, and wobble inherent in standard factory beach tripod assemblies. Crafted specifically for serious sea anglers demanding pinpoint stability, this heavy-duty bracket replaces lightweight stock fittings with a rock-solid, front-mounted quick-latch mechanism that allows effortless, one-handed height adjustments on the beacheven when wearing heavy gloves in freezing winter conditions.Manufactured in the UK using tough, semi-flexible engineering polyurethane paired with 316 marine-grade stainless steel hardware, the Anglex Upgrade Bar delivers outstanding durability in harsh saltwater environments. Traditional tripod brackets rely on long, awkward rear-facing thumbscrews that loosen under load, twist out of alignment, or snag and scratch expensive carbon rod blanks inside your holdall during transport. Anglex eliminates these issues with an oversized, 22mm knurled front-locking knob and an easy-lift lever system that locks rock-solid to the main leg profile. This ensures your dual-rod surfcasting setup remains parallel and steady, even when fishing high tides, heavy currents, or strong coastal gales.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility Notice

Gerrys Pro Tip: Before installing your new Anglex bracket, give the aluminum main spine of your tripod a thorough wash with warm water and light detergent to clear off trapped salt crust, sand, and grime. A pristine, grit-free track ensures silky-smooth gliding up and down the frame while maximizing the lifespan of the internal polyurethane gripping pads.

Key Applications & Where to Use

• Shingle Beaches & Steep Steep Shorelines: Quickly alter butt cup height on steep pebble slopes or uneven sea walls to adjust rod tip angles and keep line clear of crashing surf.
• Match Angling & Speed Fishing: The front-mounted quick-latch speeds up re-baiting routines, letting you adjust cup positions smoothly without fumbling with tight, frozen thumbscrews.
• Rough Seas & Heavy Tide Fishing: Provides a precision-fit tolerance that locks rigid under heavy loads, preventing butt cups from slippage or twisting when fishing heavy grip leads, kelp beds, or heavy weed rafts.
• Hassle-Free Transit: Its flush, streamlined back design removes long rear-facing bolts, protecting rod blanks and holdall fabrics from punctures and scratches when packed away.
