Just a bit of fun, (yes I'm bored) a quick poll......Black or Stainless for your buzz bars, sticks, pods, rod support in general....

Personally it's stainless....I really want to like the black stuff especially for its lighter weight in general but I can't give up the stainless look....😂😂

I'd hardly call black a fad... we painted and wrapped every possible thing in the early 80's onwards and it had been like that for years before. I switched to stainless in the 90's when I could make my own gear at work foc, but the weight of it lets it down for me. Now on custom/ homemade carbon singles and I've even modified an original Gardner rod pod to use carbon fittings too.

Summit for me (pod) cobalt black. Not the lightest pod I've ever had but quality made.

Solar stainless early days still got it all.

Matrix rock solid stainless nowadays, bombproof and bashproof.

That black stuff lasts me all of 1 trip, its crap
