Many thanks for you reply.... Really useful.
Was looking at the micro pod with these but thing may be better suited to the compact now.

Ah. Sorry. I misunderstood. The micro and nano are perfect to use with 2+1 bars in the closed position as the legs of the pod would be wider that the bars so it's very stable when set up like that.

Have you made your mind up ?
Am having the same thoughts with the rear, set my 316 Compact rear up to the 2 plus 1 size and I can get away with it but just looks a bit tight for my liking but unsure which way to go still
Don't want to buy rear then regret it or buy a front for the rear then start thinking I should have got the rear
.
Like my super compact sizes with rear being 10”

Think I'm gonna go with x1rear and x1 front when the come back in stock, problem I'm having is I keep changing my mind on which pod I want to go for out of the nano or the super compact mk2 , both look like great bits of kit, can't decide

I'm the same about the pod but think I will go for the micro pod. The fact you can screw or peg the legs down should make it more stable than normal pod. Mind you, might be less to carry with the compact as you will have the sticks to use as a snag bar setup anyway!!
Oh god, now what way do I go??!!

I think the 2 + 1 are great but they serve a purpose,most of my waters are 2 rod, only a few of them are 3 rod so that's why I went for the 2 +1. if all my waters were 3 rod I would of gone for adjustable trebles.

Still haven't decided! I just get the feeling the rear is going to be way to tight with 3 rods but concerned if I use the front as a rear when I'm using a 2 rod set up they might be too far apart....

Lovely mate, in the second pic down infront of the dis used warehouse. The 2 plus 1's you are using with 3 rods. Would you confirm which bars you are using please?
Are they standard front and rear, just trying to see if I can fit my 12000 XTB's on them.
Thank you

Just been having a mess about with my 316 compacts, when I fish one lake with only two rods I don't open them up
I've opened the rear up to meet the size of the front 2 plus 1 closed and it's only approx 25mm difference so if I go for two fronts I can set them to fish 3 rods at my normal width as the compacts or it will just be slightly wider if using 2 rods

So you don't find them too tight then? Can I ask what you use to peg your pod down? And also is that the nano or micro pod? Thanks

defintely not too tight with 5500 size reels,a bit of squeeze with 1400 but manageable. I have the nano pod but I also have the micro pod centre bar which is longer for when I fish 12ft rods. pegging it I use anything from normal bivvy pegs,to fine gauge metal camping pegs when on the canal to go between the block paving and also the screws that come with it

Just seen jags fetching an XL size 2 plus 1 out but doesn't say what size
