Headed to the beach? Take a Mike’s Spike with you! The pile drive umbrella holder provides the strongest hold and easiest installation available to prevent flying umbrellas. Typical installation can be achieved in less than 60 seconds. Doubles as the perfect surf rod anchor for standard sized fishing rods as well.
Many people do not realize that the pile-drive umbrella holder was invented & named for Mike Haney. Haney has shopped at the Charlotte outdoor store, Jesse Brown’s, since its beginning in the 1970’s. This Charlotte fly shop & outdoor store, near South Park, has sold Mike’s Spikes since the beginning ($39.95)
Haney has been a contributor to the Carolina Outdoors radio program. You can listen to his most recent interview here. He gives beach reports, updates on performances on Ocean Drive, & once shared a fantastic Father’s Day story.
Tents & Shade Canopies have been banned on many beaches. This is due to concerns of discarded tents left & safety worry brought on by unsecured sun tents & canopies injuring beachgoers. This is where the Spike comes into play. It securely holds the umbrellas (or surf rods).
The stabilizing fins provide superior hold in all sand. Reel notch in top secures medium size fishing rods up to 1-1/2″ diameter. Featuring a 2lb. carbon steel drive-weight with durable powdercoat finish. Large nylon wing screw secures umbrella in place. Built-in lock-tab secures drive-weight when not in use. Holds umbrella poles from 1-1/8″ to 1-1/2″ diameter. Dimensions – 27″ x 3-3/8″. Weight 4 lbs.
