I love the fact it's handmade in the UK and will outlast me and I love this - “*Note: Not on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and never will be.”

I purchased a solar world wide 20 years ago it was the best then had it stolen 7 years ago so I looked around at all the pods on the market and purchased another WW it's still the best on the market. Solar has recently released the universal although I have no need for it as the WW does all I want.
I wanted a pod that I can sling anywhere not just on a flat bit of ground.

I have the jag compact black mk2 but swapped the buzz bars for the 2+1s it's by far the best pod I've ever owned it does everything I could ever want or need from a pod, I got carried away though and got every extra for it and cost the best price of a decent set of custom rods 🤦♀️
I love my old Obelisk quad pod base.
I can use my normal lightweight bank sticks and buzzer bars when I need to and then stick them on the pod base.
It's a bit heavy to carry around so it sits in the boot unless it's needed, and I will often use stage stands as a first opion.
A lighter pod base would be a good option if I could get one that took my standard sticks.

I'm still using it's predecessor, the Podolisk, on the rare occasions I need one.

Die hard ex Fox Quattro user; have had several and still own the first mk1 I ever bought and also a 4rod version (both pending sale) with rare 4rod captive backlead bar!
I've been through a few pods for both short and long session angling over the last few seasons and thought I had found nirvhana with solar (A1 groundhog / A1 GT) however both became annoying for different reasons . . (primarily the bankstick adjustability). Was considering going either full P1 or Defiant (ordered a Carbon Fantail and then wimped out when my name came up) so bit the bullet on Jag and have (currently) never looked back . . .
For larger waters Jag Prolite Super Compact Adjustable with adjustable 3x rod bars (basically a pimped up / slimmer quattro) The splay you can get on this is excellent even with big reels (6000Ts) and the goalpost set up alleviates all twist which can be annoying on other pods.
For smaller waters Jag Prolite Micro with 2+1 adjustable bars - mainly use this as a 2rod for my 10' set up (SS2600s) and the fact that I use it on waters with lots of staging, so set up and security is a doddle and prefer a pod over stage stands - tbf using this pod more often and it may outlive the Super Compact . . .
Both are quality and are built to last - love the lever lock adjustability which makes OCD set up perfection easy to accomplish! Only pants thing on Jag is the backrests - I have solar P1s on the compact which are excellent - the small Jag lockdown backrests on the Micro are actually a bit of an arse - silly rubber insert design which is a faff if swopping between rods of different diameters . . .

I've had a fox quattro since they came out. For 12ft rods it's brilliant. I bought 13ft rods and like the butt ring behind the alarms. I bought the Chris brown 3 rod set up with parallel bars. Suits me fine for now. If I were to splash out on a new system it would be the defiant panther in carbon with custom width and length to suit my needs.
