chrissh..........Am I right that this gismo just ' stabilises ' the brollie ? How do you actually fix the actual brollie pole - or am I missing something ??
I have known those ( who fish from the same club platforms all the time ) to bore holes in the boards and push long purpose made poles into the soft stuff below. In fact, I carry such an animal made from an old 6' landing net handle which gives me height, and it works a treat. A bit heath robinson I know, but it does the job.....
