1. Bright tops
Some bite alarms have fewer features than Avid’s Screw Point Yard Sticks! But they’re all designed to make your life simpler and your casting more precise. The first of those features is the glow-in-the-dark tops.

2. Curved tops
Unlike other distance sticks, these have a slight curve and this ensures your main line doesn’t peel off whilst you’re wrapping, but comes off effortlessly when you’re reeling in. To take accuracy to the nth-degree, there’s a 12ft cord with three colour-coded toggle stops mark different spots.

3. Screw points
Angling in a tough terrain? Ground baked so hard it’s like concrete? Fret not, thanks to Avid’s latest additional feature to their Yard Stick (and the sole reason for the product name). The industrial screw point will drill through almost anything, meaning regards of how hard the banks get this summer you will still hit that spot you found in the spring at 12-and-four-tenths-of-a-wrap.
