I've been thinking about getting one of these but I've got a couple of questions for any owners. Firstly do the extend long enough for 13 foot rods and secondly is there enough height adjustment so that you can fish with your rod tips under water if you need to. Thanks

In reply to Post #84 Yes that would be the ideal solution.
As to post #81 and why. I guess a main reason would be so I could gain an inch either side so the rods were that bit less tight together. The second reason would be that if I’m fishing all rods to a single spot then ideally I’d have them pointing directly towards that spot with the rods parallel, not slightly splayed as currently on the RP1, or alternatively if fishing to different spots I might increase the splay.

In reply to Post #82 Agree with this and its also what's putting me off - adjustability in the arms is limited by the 'fixed' central rod position (when using 3x rods) to ensure the alarm heads align. Cannot see why the front and rear support arms could not be adjustable exactly like the current buzz bars with grooved markers etc - this would not affect current pack down size

In reply to Post #82 Surely if you wanted to spread the rods further apart which I can only assume would be for areas you are fishing you would just split 2&1 by taking middle bank sticks out?

In reply to Post #76 The pod is just fine at the minute, just that personally I’d like to be able to have the option of another 6-12 inches of spacing between the front and rear rests. At the moment it doesn’t give any flexibility as you basically have to have it at maximum extension all the time.
Likewise having adjustable arms would allow you to play around with the rod spacing or splay a bit.
It’s not at all necessary, but it’s something I’d value all the same.

In reply to Post #80 In all honestly I dont think the rod pod is too short. Here are some pics with my rods on them as I was busy sorting out the cords for the rod lockers. Those are 12 footers with basiairs on them and ample space. I was more concerned about the width between rods and even that is wide enough.
In short gives me exactly what my super compact mk2 did but a lot less hassle. Shame I had to cancel my weekends trip was looking forward to it

In reply to Post #78 I'm sure they could of designed a central bar that would extend long enough but still pack away compact enough to fit the case

In reply to Post #36 Contact them on messenger and they will respond super quick. Email is becoming less and less popular these days.

In reply to Post #76 Wouldnt be as compact then, the bag would have to a lot wider as well and love how compact the bag is. I will never use the extension as the pod is fine as it is i just like buying jag stuff.

In reply to Post #76 Have to agree, the lack of distance between the front and rear rests is what puts me off getting one.

So they sell the pods for how much now?the pod isn't long enough.They then make an extension and charge another premium to make the pod perfect.Very very clever business that by JAG,they could of just made it long enough in the first place

In reply to Post #74 Me also.

In reply to Post #73 Oooh, I’ll be getting that for sure then!
|

In reply to Post #72 I think the centre extension is in the pipe line
|
|
|
In reply to Post #71 If they could find a way to do this, and perhaps to also add an option to make the pod longer (maybe an optional additional centre section), then the RP1 would be truly perfection.
As it is it’s very very close anyway.
