My post was probably a bit harsh, I've amended it! I use Keith's bank sticks, never had a pod.

To be honest I would consider getting one of the Jag micro pods if they did a titanium or 316 one

You'll need to add an extra £100 on top of any micro pod to be usable on anything that isn't perfectly flat as you'll need their angulators, which by the way you have to treat with kid gloves as JAG in their infinite - read as cheap - have used tiny pins in the angulators for adjustment that round off instead of teeth. Already done an angulator...another 25 quid 🤬

This new pod

They should have added adjustable arms so as to be able to set your own splay instead of a set manufacturers idea of what your splay should be. Guess that'll be the MKII then...

They certainly do, not enough for wonky/non flat banks. I wouldn't want to extend the legs out too far as the inners look mightily snappy at the degree that they're set to.

If you have a faulty product then message them and I would imagine they will replace it. I know a guy who must use his sticks for demolishing stuff, looking at the state he regularly sends them in for repair. Exactly how you make a 316 stick banana shaped only he knows.

With regards to extremely sloping left to right banks, if it's that bad that even extending one of the micro legs fully isn't enough to level it then I think I'd abandon the pod idea and use sticks/excavators instead. I guess you could swap one sides leg for say a 7” stick and use a 12” the other side maybe. Admittedly I've maybe only had half a dozen pods over all the years, so I'm no expert, but I can't think of any that would adjust enough for really extreme gradients.

Is the splay out fixed then? I've not seen one yet to know. My guess was it would fold out like the super compacts to any amount you wish. Have they said it locks in place?

Not entirely sure it was designed for that sort of fishing really . If you did manage to set it up as such your reels would almost be on top of the reels if on to steep a gradient 🤷‍♂️Edit ( meant to say dependent on the gradient )

Good idea. Think I might just do that as I did with the legs when they went all wobbly 👍

I'll have a stab in the dark here and say that the degree they're fixed at is around 20° possibly 30° anything over that they need angulators to correct for the difference. With the angulators it makes the whole thing a lot more usable in a verify of different scenarios.
