Fox compact pod

Packs away tiny, excellent quality and reasonable price

What about the Avid Lok Down compact pod
it loos pretty useful, am tempted myself for those situations where back sticks not ideal

I bought the jag pod you mentioned last month definitely a good bit of kit mate it replaced my fox black label compact pod, the fox pod isn't even in the same class I found mine just got scratch way to easy and the buzz bars started to move which annoyed me lol

I do love a pod and do get slatted for it.
At the min I'm using the little cygnet quick lock thing folds to nothing with all little 4" sticks
Also have 2 rad pods
I like the defiant fantail but it is a pig to set up and get level
Loved the jag

Noddy always came to mind whenever I saw a pod, and then I took the plunge and it all made sense. None of that faffing about trying to get your setup not looking all pissed and on the wonk. Just roll up, pod out...bingo.

I use mine all the time. Bloody love it I do 👌

I've had a Fox Quattro pod for donkeys years. Was thinking of" upgrading" to an all stainless pod. Put off by the expense I decided to just upgrade the buzzer bars. I like a wide pod not having to fold handles etc. Matrix bars add weight and are wider and more stable than the original fox bars. If I win the lottery I'll get a solar or summit pod, until then I love what I've got.

I was exactly the same, until I bought the Summit Low Pro - goes up & away in seconds & no faffing trying to get sticks into the ground.

For all the years I laughed at nodpods, I take it all back

Pods were the preserve of the instant angler. Used to see it loads years ago, some random with a two bob Argos pod setup.

A guy on my place said "bit Noddy ain't it?" to me, laughed and said 'you'll get one, mark my words mate.'

same. Ive had mine years. custom made. wide and low. just the weight and the points mean it digs into anything. wood even concrete.

more than once I've stumbled into it. It doesn't budge and I've got cuts on my legs.

setup for me is quicker than sticks. I'm not fishing places with meadows. It's hard work using sticks.

I have the goalposts all set up in my unhooking mat. just have to join them with the centre shaft and its done.

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
