Delivered 12 May 2021, used 3 x so far, very easy to set up Rod pod with many possibilities, do not expect Century carbon quality, but the Century is also £210 more expensive.

It will be interesting to see how long it lasts, I bought a couple of the banksticks and they fell apart after a few uses

Leeda Rogue. Had one for 2/3years no probs. Does the job, light, multi set up options and cheap as chips. £60.00.

I've had their carbon sticks for close to a year now and they've had some hammer. One broke but I re glued it and it's back working. So I'd say they're worth the £11ish I paid

At Least the quality is better than fox black widow and in the end we are talking about banksticks of £10 each

I've looked at a few of the pods mentioned, the new ND pod is interesting, I like the way all the different angles it can be adjusted to, ND YouTube videos are enlightening. Has anybody used one? £79

The Sonik Vader X looks very stable and was suggested the most and at only £54 for a 3 rod seems a bargain.

The Jrc compact contact is only adjustable in height, £69.
The Jrc Cocoon looks much better, adjustable legs, height and length, £100ish.

I'm surprised no Nash pods were put forward, or is there a reason? They look sturdy enough and under £60 for a 3 rod, another bargain.

Any other suggestions welcome, thanks.

I have the cygnet compact pod, it only ever sees the light of day on one lake I fish so hasn't had much use, however it's sturdy and doesn't weigh a ton. Worth a look but probably a bit pricier for the kit than other suggestions

I have been using a JRC Square pod for a couple of years now and find it more than adequate. Adjustable in height and length. Perfect. It will take 16mm(?) banksticks if you want to vary the height even more - I use a pair of longer Nash sticks which increases the options (like really getting a steep angle to get the tips well under water).

I would buy another but cannot see this one clapping out any time soon.

I use the Matrix Patriot Pod, expensive, but damn it is good. There's one for sale on eBay right now for a decent price. Looks like it is brand new from the pictures.


That MEGA long link doesn't work Mark

Is it this one?
