Well I'm thinking of getting a rod pod. As I'm using bank sticks at the moment which I do like. But the lakes I'm now fishing the ground is very hard. Even in the winter months. I've had a solar sod pod years ago was okay but a bit 2 high and unsteady for me. Also had a fox one which was same. And also had one of the original gardener pods which I liked. Well I've looked at the solar sp1 I think it is and centry stuff. I was wondering what you guys use ? Wondering something that sits low ish to the ground and sturdy. And something that is not massively expensive

Could always get one of those Defiant digging sticks? I've heard good things about them. I bought the Cygnet compact pod and honestly find it too much of a faff each time i have to setup.

doesn't come under the "not massively expensive" comment though mate....I agree it's quality but by the time he's added his buzz bars the price is right up there...ticks all the boxes that he requires though

I would say if I was to get a stainless steel one I'd pay up to about £250 to £300 for one. Even a very good second hand one but would have to be mint

Have a look at the Defiant Fantail. Best of both worlds and super lightweight.

Same spec as my original sod pod but i managed to find some 6” legs as well which were a nightmare to find. I tried the new version but prefer the original its so compact in that tube and takes seconds to put together. Its one thing i dont think i would ever sell even though i never use it. It still looks brand new.
Are you sure?
