Has anyone on here got one of the panther pods?
I am just curious to see a picture of it in pieces and also how the centre bar attaches to the 2 x cross shafts. Looking on his website, there is some serious talent there.

the centre bar screws into each crossbars .... The Panther Titanium is best of the lot for me. It is the third version i have had (had stainless and carbon versions in the past) and I have also had Fox Quattro, Jag Prolite & NBrice in the past

Looked at a summit pod and really liked it. However as the only place near me that sold them was AD I went to Yateley instead and ordered a jag micro pod.

Anyone on here used one of MPS Fantails,? They look a little unusual but the practicality of them looks ideal. I rarely use a pod but can definitely see the benefits and flexibility of these and tempted to get one to see, but feedback before taking the plunge would be great if any out there

I've got a fantail - Great bit of kit that suits how I like to fish.
I used to use singles all the time, but now find myself using the pod most of the time.

I to have a fantail although I usually use it as single sticks.
It is a good system and I like the ability to point the rods at the baits, it is also more stable than I thought from pictures.
I do find it a little more fiddly to set up than other pods that I have owned. But it isn't exactly a chore.

I recently purchased the Jag 316, it is pricey, but a really great pod and built to last. Rock solid when it's up and not overly heavy. I can't see me changing anytime soon!

lurchy i really like this design, what do the crossbars pack down like though ? are they easy to store? is there any chance you could take a photo ive studied the website, no big deal if your busy though ill ask keith. For the record i have a Nbrice carbon pod, its great theres nothing wrong with it at all just like the design of the panther its more versatile for sure. With the Nbrice you only really have the one option as the buzzers are on a buzz bar. With the trident you can keep the alarms on seperate sticks and its easier to chop and change to suit . Good thing with high end pods is they tend to keep a decent price when you sell them on as the quality lasts a lot longer.

The stability is one thing from the pics that is a worry as you say. Looks as though you are better off using stage stands if fishing from a platform which negates the need or benefit of the pod

I had the Nbrice carbon for a while, then changed that for Jag Prolite and then back to Defiant MPS ... The Trident/Panther design is streets ahead imo
