Aluminium pods (6 posts / 763 views)

Looking to move to a pod instead of my usual bank sticks as the lake I'm now fishing is a nightmare with sticks.

Love the idea of a light weight aluminium pod but are they prone to being pulled over or moving? I'm thinking I'll need the weight of the stainless to hold it in place.

I don't really want to have to anchor it as it would defeat the point of moving away from sticks.

Thoughts?

I had the carbon nbrice and changed to the jag 316 compact for the fear it might get dragged over,when I've fished snags locked up I've never had a problem

Ive a lightweight aluminium pod but rarely use it.
I've no confidence in its stability if I don't use it with its sticks through it.
I have occasionally used it tied or weighted down but only as a last resort, probably better with a heavier one but I don't like the thought of a swim to retrieve my kit.
I have made a T shaped spike/ drill if the ground is hard and normally just fish with sticks and bars.

The avid lock down compact pod is a solid pod. It is use it a lot for my urban fishery and it didn't tip over yet.
But I never fish large angles (line vs rod/pod).

If you're still worried, you can trie to use a strap to fixate everything.
