Have been thinking about that....only have xcavators but the inner to those is the same as the stage stands which will fit the Nano and Micro pods, I would then have to buy the pod bar and 4 x normal banksticks but it would work out slightly cheaper at just under £200....

I think if I didn't have the sticks already, and I wanted a micro/nano then I'd buy the kit, as you're getting the peg through feet and a carry bag.
If someone already has bars, stage bites and sticks then I think the pod bar is a definite option.
Personally I use a second hand grey super compact that I just keep tucked into my rucksack for the odd occasions that I need a pod.
The micro/nano pods really are a lovely bit of kit, but I couldn't justify buying one when I already have a super compact, having said that when snag fishing the micro is excellent. Especially when tightened up with the lock it tool and used with rod lockers and lock downs. It's going nowhere even when fishing locked up solid., bow string tight.

I tend to agree, the kit would be more sensible and the screw down feet are certainly a great feature....the swims I was talking about have a sleeper across the front in most so it would screw into that nicely....the only thing that puts me off the Nano/Micro is that shape of pod, it sends shivers down my spine when i think of the similar style ones from 20 years ago when a run would see the whole thing end up tipping over or the bars twisted round etc.....granted i know they have moved on massively but the super compact version is so much more stable in my view......I do have the 316 version which i have owned since they first came out and love it but it is so heavy and weight is a factor on my lakes as there are some long barrows....

I asked about just the pod bar months ago and have no idea how to go about getting one as nowhere even jag page lists them seperately

I dont think you can buy them individually mate, when the pod first came out I spoke to the guys on the stand at the nas and they said they were considering making a foot that goes on the end of banksticks but that was a couple of years ago now...maybe it was just an idea they were banding round..

The screw down feet are exclusive to the micro/nano kits as far as I'm aware, they've certainly never been available at any of the shows that I've helped out at. You'd need to buy four legs, a bar and probably a bag. So apart from the uprights you'd nearly be buying a kit anyway. Can't really see the point in Jag selling them separately.

oredered a couple of options on size David due to bank stick diameter, little shrink wrap or black spray needed as they are not carpy to start with, watch this space
