the blue SALT one is heavier than most so maybe a choice though i really like the ian golds ones for quality , i would be happy using my golds and just set the drag on the reel ??

Does the ian golds and Salt tripods have the "V" shaped legs on all three of its legs?

The Salt has the rear leg "V" shaped! as strong as you'll get off the shelf. Just set your drag.

I have the mti and even though still only has 1 v leg I think the rod would break before collapsing this tripod

I've recently got a Team Daiwa Long Double Beach Rest - it has a V shaped extending leg at the back and in an absolute monster when put up to maximum height - the legs lock too so it's easy to move about - might be worth a look, it's a sturdy bit of kit. I paid about £40 for it.

not sure if 3 v's would make it any stronger, the top spreader block would be massive to take 3 y's.

parker or glodsy one for me, with a goldsy leg locking kit and a parker trace bar. makes it sold as a rock.

the main thing is to point the tripod towards the pull (from either fish, tide or weed) this is where a lot of people go wrong by putting them and wrong angles.

could you not use a sand spike. think they use these for 200lb+ shark in south africa.

Know what you mean, I worry about the price of corn, and the loss of empire, and at times a wobblerley tripod. Had to get the word tripod in, so it aint off topic. Dave
