New Direction Tackle 2*Magnetic Butt Rest P8 for Carp Fishing rod(2 PCS)

Bought on recommendation. Worked flawlessly for me.

Good Quality fishing product. Delivery was expensive and the delivery was poor.

These little magnets are quality. Lightweight and slim so don't need to be removed from your bank sticks or buzz bar at the end of each session. The side which attaches to your rod holds in place well and doesn't affect your cast in any way. It comes with 2 different elastics for attaching to your rod and so far after 5 or 6 trips out over winter, they have held up fine and haven't perished yet.They are cheap enough and after going through so many other butt rests with clasps and other small parts which break easily, these should last a lot longer

These are brilliant, keeps my rods perfectly in place. Easy to put on and don't fall off when lifting the rod off the pod.

I use these on my catfishing rods and they are the best thing i have used in years. Nice hold on the rods even with powerful catfish runs, release easy when you pick up the rods and fit my thick cork handles.

I liked the design so thought I’d give them a try. I first tried buying one set for the rear of the rods but when they came realised I’d need to buy the front set as well. They are good but there are some cheaper things that you can buy that will do the same thing.

These are strong to the point they lock your rods down but not so as you can't lift the rod off without destroying your whole set up. This is yet another fantastic item of kit from the ND stable. Reasonably priced for what they are, manufactured to a great standard and for the image conscious within the Carping Community they look pretty damn smart! I'm please with them, I don't think you'll be disappointed 😉😁☕

I bought these on a whim as an added option for my rod pod. Whilst the concept is great there are a couple minor issues with one of them proving to be a significant issue.The first issue is that they’re very strong magnets so unless your rod pod is pegged down you run the risk of lifting the entire pod on a strike or at least disturbing other rods that are sat on the pod. This wouldn’t be an issue if using bank sticks.The second more significant issue at least for me was the tendency for the magnets on the rod butts to collect any ferrous material from the swim area, this happens when laying the rods down to work on rigs etc etc. It results in the rod magnet not seating correctly on the pod/bankstick attachment. Again this wouldn’t be an issue if fishing on a swim that consisted of woodchips, decking or grass.All in all it’s a great innovative product when used in the right environment.
