Pier rail, rod rests !!!

[Metal_Micky]

Whilst me and vic were fishing the pier the other night, we spoke about getting a proper rest that fitted properly on the pier rail. I was all set to make 1 out of hardwood, or knock up something in the factory, instead of working hard. lol. But now theres no need. After the kids match had finished, i noticed a rest had been left. It appears to be an extra long hair curler, simply wrapped round the rail and crossed over. A brilliant idea and it weighs nothing at all, so no extra back ache, just thought i'd show you it, incase anyone needed 1.

I've seen this idea before but not being a girlie - where do you get them from ?

ive seen them on ebay advertised as rod rests

[Metal_Micky]

Too late for the patent then, do you now all want a laugh at micks (my) expense. We fished the pier tonight, and i left it on the rail. D'OH

And the fishing was rubbish, 2 dogs and 2 whiting

I cant see your pic for some reason Mick so tell me if Im describing whats in your photo. There is a rest around that Ive seen used on charter boats thats made from a padded material that is wrapped around a handrail & secured with velcro, on the top where your rod sits there is a thin strap again velcro secured which stops your rod from sliding off the padded section. A great investment for a couple of quid. I got a couple made by comoran on the back of the boat rails.
