I am interested in those of you who own a defiant MPS pod and which spec did you guys go for.? Im looking at them for a while now and was interested to see who chose what and why. Im torn between the panther design and the Leopard 2, I seem to keep changing my mind . the lakes i fish have platforms and natural ground, a lot of it requires a pod but i often find myself fishing 2 rods on a pod and one off down the margin on sticks locked up. So i think the panther suits that style the most but would love to hear from those of you that have them .

I have a 2 rod panther in titanium/carbon with grubscrew fittings.It is the best pod I have ever owned,I leave it all set up apart from the central bar.I keep it all safe in a custom army andy bag,it takes seconds to attach the bar and its ready to go.

Fantail for me.

I like being able to spread the rods if required. I have the widest rear bar to enable this too (not one for those who like everything close together and folded reel handles!)

I have the Fantail, excellent bit of kit. Can use as single sticks if needed but just so versatile.

I'm on the waiting list for a fantail. Seems to do everything you could ever want a pod to do, other than keeping the rods tight, which is not something that really appeals to me with the kind of lake I fish

I have a titanium fantail and a panther on order. The fantail is a great bit of kit but the ease of set up for the panther appeals to me.

I'll probably keep both and use them on different waters.

I have two Panthers (one in Titanium and one in Carbon) ... I love the design, simple, reliable and effective

I have an order in, Im in the que as it were , and will be contacted when i get to the top of the list. How is it you were not able ?? You just need to email and join the que i believe. Its been a while but i dont want to email and be that guy that is a impatient pain in the arse , Waiting for that day is a lesson in patience to say the least

I normally ask Keith for an update/ETA after about 6months of being on order. I dont think that can be classed as impatient/unreasonable ... was 9months for my last order

+1 for a titanium fantail for me best pod out there in my opinion

I tend to agree the fan tail is awesome if only the Solar World wide was made in titanium then that would be the all time great imho

I've got a MK1 Leopard titanium pod with a few custom tweaks. Does everything I've ever needed. Pack it away in a bag with both ends and alarms set up and just add the two centre bars. 👍
