Had the jag stainless Xcavators sticks for years and can't fault them but now most of my fishing is days only now mainly with two rods arriving at the crack of dawn a lot of time settling up in the dark so took the plunge and treated myself to a jag micro pod absolutely love it just so quick and easy to set and no more sitting down for my 1st brew of the day looking at the rods thinking them bloody sticks are level

I do get bemused with the weight thing, I have even heard of drinking lake water to keep the weight down,,, I have a 2 man bivvy, wide bed chair 5 litres of fresh water with another 2 containers of 5 litre in the truck if required. I would never consider drinking lake water,,, I will move in the night if required. My barrow is a 3 wheeled version, I hardly think the the difference in weight between stainless and other materials is even on my radar or ever will be. If I spend 3-5 days on the bank I want to be comfortable

It does depend how far you have to walk to a swim and the terrain covered

I knew loads of people drinking lake water in the 80s they said that boiling kills all germs I don't think rats pee would be killed I never touched it after I see the water-in there mug a brownie greeny colour far as I know they never got ill they would put there plate in shallow margin under water to soak and wash it up madness

Much prefer look and solidity of stainless but as accumulate more gear have to go with lightweight option whatever colour it maybe!

Plenty of quality water filtration systems around, I believe Hearn does just that.

Yes there are filtration systems around and they are supposed to be very good but sounds like a lot of poncing around when it's easier to fill a container from the kitchen tap.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
