I see they have brought out a deluxe model now, double clamps and centre bars, might upgrade

I also have the VERY versatile TRI-SKY ROD POD 3 ROD
(you can fish it like a normal low pod or one of the most stable rods skywards )
this is a heavy duty pod absolute quality but its heavy and takes time to assemble and to pack away in its superb carry case
BUT
I found myself far and away preferring the speed and lightness of the Korum mk2 River pod
to the time it takes to assemble the Prologic I was fishing 2 rods almost before my mate had assembled his Prologic
not a boast
but I bought the Korum mk2 River pod in June 2016 when I returned to Barbel fishing until late 2020 November using it 90% of the time I caught over 30 doubles and lots more smaller ones as you do
on the Trent Tidal mostly few on the middle
my Korum is still as good as the day I bought it so fook all wrong with the quality IMO
of course if you silly enough to think you lean on it to push it in the ground of course it will slip ? but if you use your brains push the lower sections in then ! extend it no fish in the river will make those clamps slip
I have had a narrow boat pickup both lines while I was peeing my 2.75 rods bent double runners both screaming my braid was never gonna break the clamps did not slip
I would have lost everything if I had not had the rear leg pegged as per the picture I posted lower down in this thread

Fished the Trent at the weekend, I agree, think it's best to peg the rear end down, I also agree, very versatile, lightweight and piece of piss to erect and take down, I love it but as I said below, I was disappointed with the float in the square blocks
Think I will end up buying the new one, looks very good

The only mod I did
was to glue the block thread as its possible on a savage take for the buzzbar to twist and unscrew a bit

I have two set ups, one with front runner rests for days and one with alarms. I was speaking to a mate and he says that you can buy the spare square blocks, I was going to do this and have the alarms on one and the rests on the other, buy another set of buzz bars and then I can just swap them out as required. After too much thinking about it I might buy the new version. I have also been fishing two rods, might by a third, plenty of room in a lot of swims, seems a lot of folks are carpfishing style on the river nowadays which if this is the case I will need some 3 rod bars to fit
Pegged down with alarms it would make for a great carp set up for people wanting to get the tips up high

I shall hopefully be using my old Gardner SCUD in a few weeks on there.
