Bought this sand spike so I could transport a stand using public transport. It's certainly a good quality build. Fully tightened up, the two parts on my stand were wrongly aligned by 90 degrees but I used it slightly loose and it was fine. I have used the spike on grass and on the beach. I fish shingle beaches in East Yorkshire. Because of the shingle, the spike didn't go far enough into the sand but shored it up with extra sand and it worked just fine. Still to use in rough conditions though. The quality suggests the spike will give long service.

Awesome sabiki! I cast off the Hermosa Beach pier and instantly caught 4 mackerel. I would only use this in the daytime. Best at sunset, due to the reflectivity of the feathers. Good size. I have only taken them out once, but they seem very durable. Overall, great value for the price! I would definitely get some of these if you are looking to catch mackerel.

The reflective feathers are brilliant and the big hook always catches the big mackerel, and leaves the small mackerel.
