Always liked tripods, maybe because I like photography
these stopped me scrolling through Instagram earlier.
whats your thoughts?
apart from the tripod, I particularly like the gizmo that helps stop a buzz bar twisting/coming loose on a take

not linked to them in anyway, just thought they were interesting when I was scrolling

I'm sure theres a lot of inovation going on in mainland europe that we're missing out on, whereas apart from a few in the UK its all copycat regurgitated products

They're more for European tips high style fishing IMO. Not really practical for most UK waters, if you want your tips down low your rods end up at a crazy angle, and will get pulled off the alarms on the take.

Maybe although there a few tips down shots on the website, maybe needs a bigger splay to make it lower to the ground.
Reason I'm interested is I have a tip down preference for a few reasons
Prefer the line as low in the water as possible when practicable
1 water I fish is from platforms that have deep margins so avoids wiping out other rods when playing a fish
I dont like advertising where my spots are to any visitors
point the pod in one direction with tips under the water. Pod not neccessarily pointing towards my spots.
and you can always fish more euro style if you have a lot of marginal weed
If I designed one, the legs would not be each seperated at 120 degrees, i would have the 2 front legs slightly closer together, I think to aid stability to a forward pull, may well be well off the mark though.

mmm , love the river Itchen, diverting my own post
Didn't realise I was walking by carp as well as trout and water voles when I did the length of the itchen from source to sea, highly reccomend to any downhill rivers walkers like me.
Was that below Winchester where its more canalised?

If you want your tips low then a tripod style pod is not the one.

I've seen people using them and they're nightmare. The pivot point is too high so with your tips down the angle is so acute they'll get pulled off the alarms.

Awesome, what a heritage river, although probaly not as pure as can be unfortunatley due to the water companies. The watercress will save it I'm sure.
Loved a few source to sea walks,
The Itchen
The Test, I have a nice pic of a 20 ish pike looking down from a bridge if anyone wants to help me post it.
The Thames (completed at the end of last year, my ultimate fave downhill walk )
The Hereward Way (not a river but a a brill walk (apart from one big road day) with loads of water along the way
Next year, doing some more walks with uphill bits, (the cotswold way)
I should move my own post to non-carp

Who said you have to fish with your tips down low? Everyone seems to do it but who told them to? People only do it because the next man does and they cant think for themselves .

I know
One of the best things you can do in swims with known spots is changing the line angle as much as you can, tips up!!!!
