Now that is truly a tackle accessory.
I think you will find they fit some form of tackle

For those who don't know, you really don't need to, but here goes.
Distance sticks.
They are a useless bit of kit, all in all just like a bank stick, but without any screw fixing in the top. If you took the outer of a bank stick and cut the top 4 inches off, that is just about what a distance stick is.
The idea is, you find the spot in your swim with a marker float, and clip up on the reel, and wind in.
Set your two distance sticks in the ground, a rod length apart.
You then take your marker float attach it to one distance stick, then take up the rod and move the top of the rod towards the other stick, going around it, and back to the other stick again, letting out line as you do so, and Counting how many times you go backwards and forwards. Still with me ??
You do this until you hit the line in the clip. Then you take it all off again by winding the line back onto you marker rod reel.
So lets say you go around the two sticks 15 times.
You stand in the same spot, take one of the rods you are going to fish with. Attach it to the same stick you had the marker float attached to, and go backwards and forwards around the two sticks 15 times to give you the same distance. By the time you have done 3 rods, its now pitch black and you can't see a thing.
What ever happened to having your marker float in the swim, and casting to it to get the distance. ???? DOH thats to easy.
Some will say casting to the marker float disturbs the swim. Hang on, you have just been casting the marker float around in the swim for about an hour to find a spot in the swim, doesn't that disturb the swim ????
I rest my case, distance sticks, and camo alarms, what a joke.
