ok lads i need some help spent 4.5 hours at our comp yesteday holding a 14 foot rod up as high as i could to keep my line out of the weed and surf ,my back is a tad sore today but not too bad i put my prize money under it last night for extra support anyone any ideas for a megga tall tripod/rod holding device would need to be stable in high winds and big surf (thought about the wavin pipe yoke they use in oz but not much use on a shingle beach?)

yes it has a good strong hook for hanging a bucket on which is also good for adding a bit of weight to the tripod in very windy conditions,i will take a photo of it later so you can have a better look

cormoran do a nice strong tripod too. 3 adjustable legs, cups slide up and down, the rests and the cups(both luminous ) slide out to give more stability ,also a hook for hanging and a chain from the crossbar to the back leg for stability .bit pricey but mine has been through the wars and is still going strong . folds down to about 3ft
the shakespeare salt is good in high winds. not sure how high it goes but ive had my rod butt about 3 or 4 foot off the ground with it. it has the hook for the bucket but its too wide to hang a spare trace so i usually tie a snap swivel to the top arm and hang the trace from that.
on the down side its a bitch to put together, has sharp edges and is pretty heavy if you have to carry it far but it does have a good bag with it

anyone any ideas for a megga tall tripod/rod holding device would need to be stable in high winds and big surf
