Really can't see how it doesn't twist.....unless there is something to stop it.

Maybe the mechanism to secure the bankstick is super tight tolerance?????

I use a Nano, bought off the back of Blankasorus's posts on it, there's a great pic on here somewhere using bank sticks as the uprights, bought a couple myself, all fits in the little handbag.

And no twist.

Here's an idea for JAG, bring out some small pegs that fit in the holes of the pod leg's in packs of 2 and 4 in Black.

I actually don't think you need to do this, Id just use the thumb wheel hand tight and think that's plenty tight enough. But if you are paranoid about twist, the thumb wheel will take an Allen key so you can really crank it up tight against whatever upright you are using. But like I say I've never seen that done in a real world fishing situation.

The Allen key that you can see in the kit picture fits in the thumb wheel that you can see in the other picture. But like I say, I really don't think I'd ever feel the need to crank it up that tight. I've seen these being used for exactly what they were designed for. Hit and hold snag fishing and even with brutal takes ive never seen one twist.

Better still. How about a range of pegs that match the coloured levers/lock downs/ rod lockers.


Also just a quick note to anyone wanting to have a pod but who maybe already has a bit of pro light black. The centre pod bar is available on its own, then you can use your existing prolight short sticks as legs. Also if you already have stage bites then you can use these as the uprights. This way you can have a useable micro or nano pod for £89.99 by reusing your existing jag bank ware, instead of having to buy the kit for £231 if you don't need to. Obviously you can't peg through your sticks like you can the pod leg feet, but it does give you the option of having a pod for those odd occasions where you wish you had one, without a big addition spend if you already have jag kit.

I have just bought the longer centre piece off the micro pod to use with my nano when I'm using 12ft rods. the nano is really good for 6ft and my 10ft rods but just wanted a bit more length for the 12ft rods.

I own a pre-production Micro pod.
Use it a lot with my 10ft rods.
Never understood why there's a Nano version as well actually as the Micro is more versatile.
Only reason i can think of is that the Nano fits inside the small JAG buzzerbar bag and the carbon inner of the Micro doesn't.
Nevertheless they're both great pods!
