I am after a new rod pod, looking for one that is quite low to the ground. Any recommendations appreciated, have a budget of about £150. Thanks

Solar ground hog pod , Sonik Vader x pod both within your budget

I did have a look at the solar ground pod looks very good. Do you own one? I have shimano ultegra 14000 reels will these fit nicely on the pod or will they be touching?

Yeah sadly the reel handles will touch that's what I found when I used it with 5500 size ultegra that's why I sold mine the Sonik Vader x pod has wider buzzbars

Total agree.
Stainless lasts a last time and is the right weight for the job in hand

Stainless for me as well.
I've got 2 pods: a first edition solar globetrotter and a matrix patriot.
Had 2y ago a alu pod from avid and I prefer the stability of the stainless versions much more

And stainless for me as well. I own two stainless pods a jag 316 and an original solar sod pod. I still use my original sod pod now and again and could never part with it. Nice and simple and has stood the test of time.
Solar Sod Pod with leg extensions and tri-posts on hard ground it weighs a ton but totally stable.
Soft ground a Defiant MPS stainless pod as I can push all six bank sticks in making it rock solid.

I have a nash 2 rod knx thing that looks like the vader for when i go on my bike with dwarf setup
Also my 3 rod lowered Defiant in stainless.
Whilst I like the weight saving of the little black pod its way too small to be stable. And thats using Dwarf rods. It can tip just lifting a rod up. Whereas the defiant wins even if you fall on it.

If you can find a goodun the fox quattro pod is awesome.
Sits low and totally solid pod.
The vader x is very similar but a bit lighter also looks a lot like the quattro pod.
