 yes 3/8" BSF
|
|
 Old fashioned and out of date now for the demands of modern landing nets. Ok for bank sticks.
|
|
thanks lads , why are we still using outdated thread sizes , typical old school enlish but would be a pain if they were to change !
|
|
 You said it. Would be a pain to change sizes now.
|
|
You can buy these quick change links - They work quite well on banks sticks, alarms etc., but useless on landing nets. Something along similar lines is now required for a quick change locking mechanism for the bigger stronger landing nets for barbel and medium carp, but NOT using the 3/8ths BSF thread.
|
|
Must disagree mate. I use the larger ones for my landing net with no problems.
|
|
If it ain't broke don't mend it. Current thread has stood the test of time so why change and then make some gear redundant?
|
|
the camera tripod thread is also standard whats thats size?
|
|
cant use the quick change because i require 3/8 male & m6 female , bit of a conversion to a pod im doing

_(158_x_211).jpg) I took a bank stick to a local iron mongers ,so i could purchase a bolt to screw into it.....was doing a home made diy tackle jobbie.I was told that they`re an old imperial size and getting a bolt to fit would be near impossible!!!

 Monk, if you mean the thread in the bottom of the camera to fit to a tripod, the thread is 1/4" whitworth. Another proper imperial thread 
|
|
 Even if we went all metric ,that only affects the dia. of thread,there are still different TPI. 
|
|
 The camera tripod thread of 1/4 BSW and the landingnet/rodrest thread of 3/8 BSF have been with us since Adam was a lad. Like the standard G or gas thread for pipes (BSP), I see no reason to change them for the vast majority of applications. Everyone in Europe knows that a 1/2 G thread is a 1/2 inch BSP.
