Watched an instagram video of the new fox pod this morning. Needed eye bleach afterwards. My god thats one ugly mother. I know you shouldn't pick form over function, but that looks like the only pen the draftsman had was a bingo dabber

i def do not recommended the cygnet 20/20 range, had nothing but issue with the set I have bought, I have all 3 sizes and the thread's are constantly getting stuck and i end up losing the screw nob which is really annoying.
Plus I have also managed to bend one taking it out the ground without a huge amount of force
Also I have taken the paint of a couple on the inserts as the screw has got stuck and to get the insert out had to use force which has then scrape the paint off.
For someone who uses 6 single sticks I have never really found a set of banksticks at a decent price.
Currently using x 3 trakker storm poles for the front 3 and then the cygents at the back, the trakker poles have been great but are quite heavy

Which I think kinda proves the whole thing about you get what you pay for. I bet you'd have to search quite a bit to find anyone on here reporting the kind of issues you've had whilst using Jag, Defiant, Solar, Dymag etc. All expensive but I doubt they'd bend in normal operation or fall apart.

I do similar i use 36" fox storm poles for the front, so much easier pushing into soft clay than the hard bank and jag sticks at the back.
I sometimes don't bother with the back sticks, just use a matrix pile driver to pin the rod butts down.

i have got a mix of Tbar and sniper cygnet banksticks which i brought 2nd hand and they have been doing the rounds for the last 5 yrs
they are starting to suffer (keep having to reglue the tops back to the ali body)
look scruffy as hell but do the job
out of interest are the original gardner ali sticks any more resistant to the tops coming loose as they are a brass fitting?
