“It was THIS big!” you protest holding your arms wide, yet your mates remain unimpressed. We all know the only way you are going to secure bragging rights is if you’ve got a picture, and if your angling buddies are particularly sceptical it will need you and the fish in it at the same time. Without a tripod, this can present a dilemma. Fortunately, you can now go hands-free without a tripod by using a camera bank stick adapter.
The best camera bank stick adaptor should have a few key features. Firstly, it needs to fit to both your bank stick and to your camera. Secondly, it should be strong enough to hold your camera, the only thing going into the water should be the fish you have just caught, not your brand new iPhone. Finally, you want the ability to easily and quickly manoeuvre the camera, in order to get the perfect shot. We’ve assembled a list of the best fishing bank stick adapters so you can pick one up in a flash.
