Good evening all

Just joined a new syndicate, and a lof of the swims have hard bases, conrete or wood, most Anglers use Pods. I have never used or owned a pod before, dont want to break the bank, and want something light and compact, what do people recomend

I use wychwood cross bars and wychwood slim buzz bars and a couple of stage stands atm and with those I can cover all options with 4 bank sticks
I have a water that can use all set ups depending what swim I fish

I just bought a jag black super compact mk2 expensive at around £390 but definitely worth it I've had a few different pods and this is so much better than any other I've used before

I would just get some stage stands for your stick and buzz bar set up.

Everyone knows pods are for nods

Think you mean pods are for GODS......... I've got a Fox Stalker+ and it's fine, had it a few years, was about £75. Not sure if they make 'em anymore, but it looks very much like the FOX EOS one, but the Stalker+ has adjustable legs. Fox EOS one is only £55, and if you're on a platform, should be flat so non adjustable legs shouldn't be a problem.

I don't think you will get a bite less using stage stands or pods.

Pods are more versatile as you don't need to screw them down.

The only pod worthy is the world wide all else only manage half a job. Most pods from £50 upwards replace a goal post set up at best.

My mk1 fox Quattro is now coming into its 16th year and my old mans is older. Solid and reliable after having a sod pod which blew over if you farted near it.

Strange, I had the complete opposite! Had the Quattro turn over on takes where have never had the Super Sod Pod I bought back in the early 90's ever do that (I use it with the 4" uprights & triposts front & rear when it does get an airing).

Also had a quatro get blown over in high wind, trouble with all light weight pods is they need pegging down especially if wind is side on.
