I had noticed they were running the titanium stock down but the black stuff was all still going strong last time I checked.
Gutting if they've gone, that stuff is/was awesome.

They sorted an issue with a set of bars I'd had for years foc the other week, their customer service is probably one of the best in the industry.

Agree, I had an issue with the top of one of my sticks coming slightly loose after about 4 years. I asked them how I could fix it and they sent me a new one!

Hopefully it's just a technical glitch or something

I emailed Will so I'll see if he replies, if things aren't going too well he's probably got more important things to do than reply to me cos I want a pair of small two rod adjustables though.

On that note......if anyone has a pair going, please drop me a message 😬

If you're desperate there is an option. This place in Germany still hold a fair bit of stock of the standard black stuff.

https://www.boiliebudeshop.de/de/rodpods-banksticks/mpe-tackle

I got a few bits off them and while it works out expensive (shipping is like 11 or 12 quid) it showed up quickly.

I don't know of anywhere that still has the titanium stuff though mate.

I was looking for some MPE bits to go with my current setup. I have contacted the shop below and it would appear they know the owner of MPE tackle and get fresh stock as they had run out of the bits. It was all very easy as well as there english is better than my German and English. www.kboiliebudeshop.de/de/rodpods-banksticks/mpe-tackle
