Has anyone see the new Solar Tackle Croc Pod?

Any ideas on release dates, price point etc

TIA

£465 at Bristol Angling. It does look very impressive - tempting!!

Looks weird as uprights look far to long compared to the legs. Also looks like it needs to be on very level ground with those short legs and its a nightmare to try and get your tips level on this kind of pod without buzzbars which is why i went back to the original jag super compact pod, as still the best pod imo.

That is a very sexy looking pod!
Swims on my lake are not quite flat enough for this, but damn, I still want one!

I had an original one of these bloody awful it was with the cross bar and holes too small for the sticks, didn't even look like a croc 😂😂.

This new one looks nice, nothing like the original and gonna be well outside of my budget!

I remember the original Croc pod ,very smart,but hard to level on uneven ground ..

As someone who is Solar old skool through and through ,I'd avoid anything Solar right now ,this is because their customer service is very ,very poor..,or should I say non existional . !

Blacklite be nice options too.

Do like look of it but cant use sticks separate so less versatile?

Bit of a weird company Solar. Not even on their own website. No videos yet.
Getting a big push on gear now it seems?

it looks nice to the eye, but you can see how unpractical it is even from their very own product pictures

That's a lot of dough with next to no adjustment for uneven ground. I like its look but I have a modified compact patriot pod already which is a pig on uneven ground to get your tips level.

Really that looks hopeless, I will stick to my original Solar Sod Pod with tri-posts that I am sat behind now loads of adjustment with the extra outer legs and nice and weighty 😎

I assume you can alter the spread of the legs and even put longer legs on the back if required. This would make it more versatile on uneven ground?

I agree it is quite a smart looking pod but I can see with such short feet only really practical in the type of swim pictured,flat and manicured, most other situations will require sets of leg extensions which I'm sure solar Will be happy to relieve you of another £80-100 for front and back

Think I'll stick with my defiant carbon pod.....

Thanks for not putting photos of your pod again I got in so much trouble with wife looking last time I can't risk being caught again lol

I told you before, you just need to put a good rod in your misses hands and then she'll know the score

Not sure if I see the point of it, trading on a name with 0 similarities.
