I get what you mean - I like the fox. Just not of the way they sit

The main reason I suggested the Quattro, although dearer than the x-pod is that I like to have the butt eye far enough behind the alarm to fit my swingers in. The x-pod is shorter although just as capable I'd imagine. My Quattro is a mk1 so at least 20 years old.

Had a sod pod before that and had it pulled over a few times when fishing down the margins. Never used any anchor back in them days so sold it.

I like these more than the X looks more sturdy 🤔

Plus if you're the type of angler that moves it's possible to pick up the lot, all 3 rods, including a couple of nets laid on top and walk to another swim.

Although I have a mk1, I'd advise at least a mk2 as they have the oval tubes so can't twist.

The X pod plus has the extending arms so way long enough if you want the first eye behind the alarms, personally never done that, and use swingers.

The X pod plus is rock solid and fully adjustable to get the rods straight on uneven ground.

I like to have stuff as compact and neat as possible - trying to lessen the load aswell seem to take the house with me for a over nighter

My mate had a Quattro a few years ago, I think when you mention it, it is a smaller version of it in principle, someone could confirm.

I'm in 2 minds to get either the a fox X or quattro or just go all out and get something a bit more pricy

If you want something light and compact have a look at a Cygnet Quicklock Pod, super light and folds down to nothing, about 14" long.

Wychwood Tactical Pod does most things I'd want in a cheap pod.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
