Tripods, tripods

Tripods and tripod stands are one of the most useful, yet often underrated accessories in fishing. They really come in handy when the ground is too hard or rocky to use your lures, or when you want to keep several rods stable and neatly arranged. Tripods are particularly suited to use on sloping or uneven banks where traditional landing rods fail.

With differently shaped tripods, your rods can rest safely while your markers or swingers are clearly visible and you can react instantly to catches. Delphin brand tripods, for example, are renowned for their sturdy construction, light weight and easy adjustability, so they can be used wherever the terrain is challenging.

How does a tripod differ from a rod-pod?
A tripod usually has three legs and is primarily used to support poles, whereas a rod-pod is a more complex system with buzz bars and multi-functional attachment options.

What type of terrain is a tripod recommended for?
In places where the ground is soft or muddy and extra stability is needed - for example on slopes, rocky shores, jetties.

Can a tripod be used for feeder or match rod fishing?
Yes, many tripods are suitable for these methods, especially when combined with an adjustable angle rod head.

What are the best tripods made of?
Aluminium and stainless steel are the most common - the former lightweight, the latter extremely durable. Quality tripods often have a telescopic design to save space.
