No chance. I do wonder about you some times.

A prolite super compact kit with 3 rod fixed front and rear bars, four uprights, the pod base and the bag is £380.

The prolite nano pod with uprights and no bars is £230

How on earth is the RP1 gonna be £450 without sticks.

A nano that you can actually use is more like £370. That's painted aluminium.

You can't get a 316 pod for less than £375, topping out at near enough £500 with adjustable bars. And that's a simple (copied) design.

Let's be fair and admit you won't be getting much change out of £500 for this new (copied) design.

I'm not gonna try and judge if that is too much money, everyone has their choice, but I'd rather pay £250 for the original Defiant version in a superior (titanium) material.

It's pieces of metal that are used to support your rods. Meaning you don't have to put them on the floor anymore

I think it might catch on

Another jag fan boy here had grey prolote and changed to. 316 then to jag black and majority has held value well when I've sold it on and the one time I had an issue jag were great and sorted it out

I currently have a micro /nano pod and a super compact pod and I'll be looking at the new one as well I'm a tart but hey ho

What amazes more than anything is how upset people get at what things cost?

It's your money spend it on what you want and enjoy it!!

I too like nice things and don't mind spending money on gear regardless of what others think.

I'm quite happy to criticize JAG as some of the stuff they sell, as pretty as it looks isn't that great. Take their banksticks for instance, you pay £27 for a tiny bankstick and the thing doesn't have a flat on the inner which leaves the inner able to rotate.

Just totting it up in my head, I think looking at it again, I'm ganna say that instead of £450 that I mentioned before, more like £380 for this new pod.

I agree that a flat on the inner would be a good addition, none of the sticks I've ever had from jag, solar, Fox etc etc have never had one. I wonder why that is. My guess is that it's firstly due to cost as it would add in two more processes, one to the inner and one to the outter. The other reason I wonder is whether if everything is locked up to a point where there is literally no give anywhere. If you got an absolutely savage take or a swan smashed through your lines at speed, could it be more prone to snapping something? I've no idea I'm guessing.

Regards the price. For a full kit. Looking at the previous ones, I reckon you're in the right ball park. Despite the price I think this will still sell well. Jim's no mug. I don't recall them ever releasing something that hasn't sold what they were expecting it to and others far exceed them. So I guess he's done his homework.
Are you sure?
