Looking for advice my syndicate has gravel pegs and it's getting harder and harder to get banksticks into the ground without causing any noise etc, so looking at a 3 rod pod that doesn't break the bank and light and small to pack down seen the Saber one and also the ND tackle one any reviews or thoughts on either of these ?

Just got the Solar A1 Ground Pod from Angling Direct for £100. You won't get a better quality pod for that price mate

Is that the link to the classifieds on here, as just saw that pod? Great buy and would strongly recommend someone pick that up, and for the OP you will struggle to do better for your money

Likewise, Sonik Vader x 3 rod pod.

But, I use mine with 11.5" CYGNET 20/20 SNUGS GOAL POST BUZZER BARS as they are a lot narrower than the Sonik bars for the pod and makes it easier for a clumsy sod like me to step over without getting an alarm or a reel handle up my trouser leg.

And also use a pair of JRC X-Lite Banksticks 18" on odd occasions as they are of the same 16mm diameter as the supplied sonik sticks with it to replace the Sonik ones as sometimes I find the Sonik ones can be a bit too short in some swims especially if I have to push them into the ground a bit in soft ground to secure the pod, or the ground slopes downwards steeply towards the front then I can place the longer sticks at the front to level the rods. Otherwise, if I got a visious take, it could lift the rod out of the alarm due to the line angle.

I actually keep thinking about replacing all the sticks with the JRC 12" ones and that should cover everything.

Other than that, excellent pod.
