mine and daves rods

what a furkin scruff hole

Language Timothy, no need for that from such a young mouth now is there. There are much better ways of supporting your rods you know Angus and you should never leave your reel sitting in sand or gravel while waiting for a bite, the reel will pick up all manner of dust and grit which will eventually ruin your reel.

Two small rod rests are pretty cheap and one at the front and one at the back will make you look a bit more like an angler and preserve a costly reel.
