NEW JAG MACROPOD 316
I was thinking about getting the P1 sod pod, but I don't think my swan neck Nevilles will fit in the anti twist buzz bar mount.

Wouldn't that defeat the idea of a lightweight micro pod?

Half a kilo on for a pod doesn't make much difference to me, bringing an extra 2 litres (for example) of water negates any weight saving. It's the pack down size and neat design I like.

Lightweight yes, but still compact and last for ever.

I had the 316 adjustable pod and swapped to the black version to save weight.
How does this micro pod differ apart from pack down size? Any benefits? The JAG Black adjustable pod is already very lightweight and compact

No benefits if you ask me. Just wanted one for my collection + a 316 version

The only benefit I can see is it screws down to platforms . Obviously the 2+1 bars are a massive benefit . Can the 2+1 bars be used on the original pod ?

a washer and a screw and you can anchor the adjustable down on wood using the carabiner

I use 2+1s on a compact pod but I feel you need to have the bars extended even if you are only using two rods, as it's a bit narrow otherwise and not as stable as when using wider bars. The advantage of the micro pod is that because of its splayed out legs, it's still very stable even when used with narrow bars like the compact two rod types.
The micro pod comes into its own when snag fishing due to the ability to peg it through all four feet. Personally if I was fishing on platforms a lot I'd use the stage bites.

I think it's a bit tight that JAG only supply one carabiner on the adjustable pod even though there are anchor points front and back. I just added an extra one and peg or screw down one or both as needed. Just keep a couple of metal washers with the screws. Saves having to renember/carry stage bites.
I used to carry excavators, a pod, and stage bites. The JAG pod does it all and saved me a load of weight. From memory the whole lot weighs about 800 grams and that's with 5”, 7” and 9” banksticks. Normally use 5” & 7”, and only need the 9” on sloping banks or if want rod tips high or low.

5" sticks can still be purchased with the original thumb screw if required
