Personally stainless for me.
It is strong, long lasting and almost impossible to bend or break.

I usually carry my P1 pod and 4 longer extra banksticks, in case I need to raise the height.

I have tried other materials none last as long.


As for the drinking lake water, not for me without filtering it.
I'm never that far away I can't stick a 5l container of water on the barrow, and it is easy enough to keep some more water in the car.

Boiling may remove most nasties in the lake water, but I would much rather not risk Weils disease.

'once you've had black' . . . . .etc

Am tempted by quality Solar stainless in terms of function etc but it all looks a little bling / satellite aerial stylee for my liking . . .lightweight black just feels right to me . . .until it scratches etc at which point it needs replacing . . .

Defiant titanium Leopard pod for me 👍

Actually most of the defiant pods are actually ‘systems' as they can be broken down into individual sticks if required.

WIth my catch rate not one jot

I have a set of titanium and a set of black ali. Have had carbon too. I used stainless years ago and of the 4 materials it would be the last I'd choose now. Too heavy with no added benefit imo.
