Looking for advice my syndicate has gravel pegs and it's getting harder and harder to get banksticks into the ground without causing any noise etc, so looking at a 3 rod pod that doesn't break the bank and light and small to pack down seen the Saber one and also the ND tackle one any reviews or thoughts on either of these ?

Just got the Solar A1 Ground Pod from Angling Direct for £100. You won't get a better quality pod for that price mate

Is that the link to the classifieds on here, as just saw that pod? Great buy and would strongly recommend someone pick that up, and for the OP you will struggle to do better for your money

Likewise, Sonik Vader x 3 rod pod.
But, I use mine with 11.5" CYGNET 20/20 SNUGS GOAL POST BUZZER BARS as they are a lot narrower than the Sonik bars for the pod and makes it easier for a clumsy sod like me to step over without getting an alarm or a reel handle up my trouser leg.
And also use a pair of JRC X-Lite Banksticks 18" on odd occasions as they are of the same 16mm diameter as the supplied sonik sticks with it to replace the Sonik ones as sometimes I find the Sonik ones can be a bit too short in some swims especially if I have to push them into the ground a bit in soft ground to secure the pod, or the ground slopes downwards steeply towards the front then I can place the longer sticks at the front to level the rods. Otherwise, if I got a visious take, it could lift the rod out of the alarm due to the line angle.
I actually keep thinking about replacing all the sticks with the JRC 12" ones and that should cover everything.
Other than that, excellent pod.

I can't fault my solar A1 pod.

Have to say that i always liked my Nash KNX but decided to have a look at the Sonik. Thought it looked good, so i bought one for £49. Arrived today, set it up, very impressed.
Anyone want to buy a Nash KNX 2 rod pod?

Is there a pod that will double up as a two rod single stick pod and a three rod goalpost pod...
I know there are a few that I could use a single stick to the two or three rod buzzer bar, but are there any that can do a single stick for my two rod set up, and also allow my three rod set up to be used goalpost style.

Yes the Sonik rod pod is brilliant no need to get your pants pulled down paying silly money for a pod these days

Thats why i bought the Nash KNX in the first place as it was under £50 but i have to say, the Sonik does appear to be far sturdier than the Nash and also pleased that it all fits in the holdall. Very happy to be honest.

That is a normal thing with some pods and not unusual. The Sonik pod is the same. I think the idea is the manufacturer presumes you will be casting straight out, one to the left and one to the right and thinks your rods should be splayed out in the directions you are fishing roughly.
Myself, I like all rods to be parallel hence why I use a couple of 11.5" Cygnet bars on my Sonik pod as well as the fact it makes it look more compact.

Yes it's quite common on pods. I even had my defiant built like that. It's such a subtle difference I never really thought it means you fish left and right. I thought it wasnto combat optical illusion
Of the rods converging into the distance. Eg,nit helps them look parallel and not toed in.

It's not designed like that, it was the saber supra pod that unfolded and the arms are supposed to be the same length but weren't......

So your confusing the issue then, if you bought the Saber Supra compact pod or the Lowpro pod it was the pod itself that had the problem and not the "bars" themselves. But even looking at a picture of the pod, it is is designed that two of the arms are longer than the other two, so they are "supposed" to be like that. Also both "bars" are of a different widths, 25cm and 28cm.

Sorry, should have said arms.......Supra is designed to unfold, two arms going forward and two arms going back like an X.......two going forward we're different lengths by about 1cm.....once the bars were on it, it was twisted.......cheap saber *****!

I see. Yes the arms different lengths would be infuriating.
