I have the compact version and it's solid if it is set up correctly. Saying that I am tempted to sell all my solar pod to buy the new jag pod as I fancy a change

Don't do it. I sold all my solar stuff to get jag, biggest mistake I ever made. Cost me a fortune to replace it.

Nothing wrong with the jag stuff, I just preferred the solar, and have had it most of my fishing life

I'm thinking about going solar, probably the p1 low profile bundle deal from johnson Ross. Been a matrix patriot user since it came out, love it for its weight and solidity and that it can be used as a snag bar settup when ground allows. Only looking at the worldwide as its more versatile and may get longer sticks to use in water or for fishing tips high.

Surely you can just get long banksticks for the Patriot and do the same thing mate. Do you have the Rock Solid or the Super Slinky version?

Can anyone tell me what the actual difference is between the Compact WW Pod and the New Low Profile Pod please as I've been looking at the images batting araound and I can't see the differences.

Rock solid, the ww leg angles can be adjusted and spread much wider.

Is that the only difference?

No the matrix is a heavy solid pod but really not that versatile, not much use for wading out in 3ft of water setting up between Reed beds.

I have the compact (not mini) plenty small enough and have some stubby legs. If you only ever use 3 rods I'd get fixed bars, as with all adjustable bars there's a bit of play there, I stick with them so can get it a vit more compact if using 2 rods sometimes.

I have the standard P1 pod, and have used longer bank sticks with it to raise the front to keep the line up over weed, or even with the front sticks in the water, and a couple of times on the rear so I could submerge the tips.

Is anyone able to tell me the weight of the P1 Compact Worldwide pod system with 3 rod buzzbars please. Can't decide between this, the Matrix Patriot Pod system of something else. The price is swinging me towards the Solar as I can get the pod and 3 rod adjustable buzzbars for just under £350 delivered.

Will the solar pods take any buzzer bars or do you have to use the solar ones. I have the Neville swan neck 3 rod bars and would like to keep them

On Solars website, it says that it will accept most buzz bars. If I were you, take your neville's to your local solar stockist and test them.
Are you sure?
