After undergoing some extensive spinal surgery, I'm almost ready to get back fishing.

But being 6ft 8" I've had to make some gear changes to keep me comfortable.......taller bivvy, taller Bedchair, rear barrow wheels etc etc.

Now I can't decide if to get a new taller 3 rod pod or just use long extending bank sticks.

Either way, some recommendations on a tall pod would be great as I like the versatility of a pod.

Cheers 🎣

I suppose the obvious Q is how tall, given normal might mean the modern hobbit pods.
If you've got things you can extend it would save cash.
Fishing in Europe you see a lot of the tri legged pods which can be very tall if you want, I think Gerry used to use 1 iirc.

Personally I'm 6' and don't like stooping. I have a Defiant MPS Ti Panther and the rods stand 14" high iirc. I based that on my older Sod Pod and Worldwide which stood at similar heights. Keith double checked the heights of the bank sticks as he normally makes them lower.

I do like the look of those tri legged style pods, they look like a viable option 👍

I know a few people with the tri legged pods made by Meccanica Vadese (Italian)

They're expensive but very very well made (as good as solar or jag). Super stable & very versatile.

Wow those are expensive! But can tell they would outlive me.

Any thoughts on the Fox Eos Tripod?

Daiwa BSB Micro Pod, if you can find one in stock

The names had me bothered since posting before, it was Amiaud Peche Tripods that were big way back. There's a mini version on Ebay, location Romford, might suit.

Solar Worldwide pod - expensive but excellent

Try the Fox Horizon duo wit two sets of long legs.

That's certainly unique, thanks 👍

On those lines the ends of Worldwides come up quite often. I did think about getting Keith at Defiant MPS to make titanium legs for mine and a crossbar, would save a bit of weight.

Quite similar to the Fox Eos Tripod, I just can't workout how high the rods would sit.

Ideally I'm looking to stoop/bend as little as possible 😅

Hi,
There are 3-4 click points for the legs and the legs are extending so it can be very high if required.
Holes near the points at the end of the legs to put a bivvy peg through to keep things stable if set at its highest.
