£440 ❗
Are they really that good ❓
They look the business and quick to set up, but £440.
I know I don't need to buy one but are they that good ❓

Seen a few second hand ones for sale in as new condition so assume the sellers found they were not right for them.

Most people I know that use a pod simply put it on top of the barrow so there is no set up or pack down time.

They are a lovely pod and beautifully engineered. I havent used mine and probably never will as I dont carp fish anymore but its a really nice pod. Its relatively cheap compared to my solar universal pod as that works out at £620 with the new captive buzz bars which you dont need with the rp1 so works out a bit cheaper. I paid £395 for the 316 version. A lot of people must think it is worth it though as jag said on there fb page that they have never seen demand like it and are flat out making more.

Its like anything else really, are the new tech mags worth £600 each, personally i don't think any of it is worth the price they charge for it. At the end of the day its a pod to rest your rods on thats it and you can do that for a lot less money. Jag know people will pay it as carp fishing these days is probably more about how good your set up looks than actually catching fish.

Is anything carp fishing related worth the money?

Hemp you must be joking!!
Cost of hemp these days outweighs its effectiveness.

Look through the previous thread on here and i did a quick review of mine.

For me its suits what i require from a pod with its versatility. For other it may not be the one.

The build quality appears to be second to none and now i have used it a few times i really like it and even though its a expensive bit of kit i will probably not be buying another pod for a good while yet.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
