Not really. I did a test a few years ago when a similar post was running. I put a old cygnet ali pod i had in my ruck sack with what i normally take fishing, put it on my back to see how heavy it felt then took it out and put my jag 316 pod in with the 4 stainless banksticks it comes with put it back on my back and i couldnt tell any difference what so ever. You might notice a very small difference if its in a carryall your carrying by hand but in a rucksack where the weight is supported by your shoulders i couldnt feel any difference. I even got the missus to put the ruck sack on both times and asked her if she could feel any difference and she said no and looked at me funny as i didnt tell her what i was doing.

You say an extra kilo or two makes no difference when you consider the total weight of everything, but when you save another 5 kilo on a lightweight shelter, 4 on a lightweight bed/bag, another kilo on a lightweight net etc etc..... it does make a difference. It's not a priority for some guys which is obviously fine, but for me lightweight stuff is absolutely key for the type of angling I tend to do nowadays. I reckon if I compare the stuff I take with me now against the stuff I used to take 10 years ago I've save 30 kg + which is a bag and a half of cement!

Im not talking about lightweight bedchairs and bivvys though its soley the difference between an ali pod or taking a stainless pod which is next to nothing. The bivvy and bedchairs dont come into it as you would be taking them regardless of what pod you took.

No idea, why? The alarms are always on the banksticks.
