Hi all,

Just after some advice, Was looking for a new pod system with the versatility to use as both single sticks or as a pod set up. I have seen the Century - Carbon Stealth Pod but the price tag is way over my budget.

Anyone know of a similar set up but more reasonable cost?

Thanks in advance

If you can wait a bit, Saber have one coming that looks almost identical for a fraction of the price.

I'm with braders on this one, if this is the style you want then go with Defiant, a proper Uk based, uk made product from proper customer focused business. Well regarded by people in the know.

New direction are bringing out a carbon pod system sure I saw a video on YouTube about it but can't remember where lol. Or the new wychwood tactical pod system looks pretty decent although not carbon.

Edit.. Just looked and funnily enough it's on there yt channel lol looks great but not that cheap.

I'm looking for a new pod in this style too.

I have got a MPS Trident in stainless, it's great but I want something lighter and in black.

I've been using my son's Quest Tackle pod which looks good and has been ok. It's starting to fall apart now hence looking for something new.

I like the look of the Jag and Century pods but don't really want to be spending that sort of money (although I probably will)

Wychwood do a nice looking one for about £100. I'll be keeping on eye out for something similar.

Cheers mate.

Just had a look at the Wychwood Tactical pod, looks ideal.

Complete rip off of Keith's design though, same as Century!

Here's my take on it. If you want something to last then you need to spend the money. This single stick pod set up is keiths idea I believe so I'd buy from him and not a cheap Chinese copy. If you want a more traditional goal post or micro pod set up look at Jag.

All this cheap stuff looks great for a year but you give it one season of hard use and it will fall apart. It's false economy. I'd rather save up a bit more and buy something that's gonna last that's got proper Uk back up.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
