People paying for a name so they can tell their mates,Jag is quality I'm not knocking them at all but surely their prices don't have to be as high as they are.The fishing gear is just a small part of their business so they already have all the machinery to knock all the pieces out

It's like expensive trainers or expensive cars, JAG.gear you could argue is seen as aspirational or top tier.
JAG kit is well expensive. I have no idea of what their costings actually are, maybe their plant is proper lumpy, they pay their employees over and beyond what similarly trained machinists or designers may be getting payed elsewhere, rents are mental, or they just charge loads, make shiny s4it shiny enough that bods will lap up, either way, it does sell, I've got some of it myself...just bought 2 sets of snag ears for just shy of 100 quids, I mean, 100 bar for two lots of snag ears, got another 2 sets to buy just that I could part with 200 quid at the time as it would have pained me to do so. I have the Korda Stow ears which every now and again would come loose and the JAG ones seem much less likely to do the same as the Korda ones, plus the JAG ones are slightly longer which I was always after.

It will be a well made bit of kit, but likely be priced at a premium. It's just another 3 rod pod, if you're into dropping £500 on some 316 or painted ally then go for it.
Jag are weird one for me, certainly priced at ‘aspirational' level but it still seems a bit naff to have all that shiny branded stuff just to put your rods on.

I buy Defiant over Jag every day ... Prolite pod in particular was a massive let down when i had one

Don't talk to me about costs of pods lol. Bottom line is you get what you pay for. In terms of mass manufacturers Jag are up there aren't they. I think this looks like the old Trident made by Keith. I'm sure it will be a quality bit of kit that will relieve you of something between £400-£450 easily.

I love my jag stuff I've had countless pods/ bankware and you can tell the difference massively, not slating it just saying I prefer jag stuff. Yeah it's expensive but if you don't like it don't buy it bud, I got my black super compact mk2 with some 2 plus 1 buzz bars I couldn't be happier with it one of my favourite bits I own

Thats the set up I had and hated it,I could never seem to get it line up properly.I sold it a mate and he finds the same and uses it more without the pod base fitted

I find it very very easy to line it up? And I've got ocd with it all looking right. Mine lines up every single time easy enough, maybe yours had something wrong with it from the factory? Honestly never struggled getting it to line up mate.
