300 is a stainless series 303, 304, etc 316 is often used in fishing often called marine grade as it has better anti corrosion than say 303

Drop the pretence. Your sole aim was to create an argument by way of a sly dig. This thread has been quite decent so far, can we just have one thread without a load of grief for a change?
Before a load of wallies jump in as per usual for an argufest, just save it and move on. Thanks.

Yeah Woody, I just ballsed up. Still not sure which stainless they use? Would be nice to find out.
To be fair, as long as it doesn't end up being a rusty old thing, I'm not too fussed at all. I would rather a pod be light for being able to use with my mobile setup. Got the JAG micro pod which is good since I've bought the angulator things, much prefer something which is goal post style to stop buzzer bars from turning on fierce takes.

I don't know what grade summit uses i would have thought their pods are made from 316 as i haven't heard of issues with their tackle?? , you mentioned you thought they said some nuts were 303 which isn't as corrosion resistant as 304 and 316.
To add more confusion nuts and bolts etc are called things as a2 which is 304 and quite good a4 is 316 and even better.
I once used some 303 rated pins in some banksticks after one very wet night they were showing surface rust but the main sticks with 316 and used for years with no sign of rust.
Sorry to go off thread

Never seen a summit pod but i would imagine its 316. 316 is probably the best you will get for a fishing pod. You can get better than 316 as I know rolex use there own 904L stainless in there watches which is a whole new level of stainless. I personally wouldnt buy and stainless pod if it wasnt made from 316. I built my daughters whole climbing frame from 75mm diameter 316 stainless pipe which i stole from work a good few years ago and we live 200 yards from the sea and theres still not a spot of rust on it. It will out live me that thing.

You do realise that you just admitted to that theft in writing?
I think you meant to say that you did the whole job in 316 that you borrowed from work, whilst not looking to permanently deprive the owner of it or misappropriate it. Obviously.

No no no. You've done it again!!! Stop admitting stuff. Honestly.
Your answer should be “what theft? What are you talking about? Are you on glue?”
Remind me to never do any “jobs” with you. May crack under mild questioning.

I thought you had a Chris brown pod?
Why would you entertain replacing that? Seems absurd

Coz I'm weird and have used it in deep water instead of just goal posts like a normie would, a Summit makes a lot more sense in that situation. Great pod Chris's, although as I'm beast with anything that's remotely breakable, I've dented a few banksticks up tightening the parallel bars and thumbscrews tight and can make it difficult to get the inners to go back in sweet.
I don't know. I don't like ordinary buzzbars and would loathe to use anything other than Chris Brown ones. If I did get a Summit, I'd have to get Chris to make up a new set of buzzbars specifically for that pod. Who knows.
