I modded 2 of mine so I only needed to add the centre bar, the 2 ends were kept fully assembled in my landing mat.

Is it mot easier to just keep it in one piece in its tube? It only takes about 20 seconds to put together.

Keeping the ends fully assembled means with buzz bars/alarms etc already fitted (pic was illustration of mod)
So no, def not easier from tube.

2 movements for mine (attaching centre bar).

Ok you win by saving 20 seconds 😀 i personally would rather keep it all together in its tube as its more compact that way.

Each to their own mate, no right or wrong

over the years I have easily spent well over a grand on pods
to name a few Defiant ,Solar and Amiaud Peche and of course JRC .Fox Etc etc

I got a couple of River pods now for Barbel fishing and a Fox Quattro pod for Carp fishing
but if I was going to buy a pod now and had nothing I would buy a Sonik Vader X Rod Pod and spend my money on more important things
