Rod pods...

[Pittpony]

I'm thinking of upgrading my old fox pod to either a solar sod pod or a fox quatro pod. Does anyone have any advice on which of these is better, or any other recommendations?

 

Thanks,

Haven't used the fox one but can recommend the Solar one.

 

Had mine for 4 years and its as good as new the previous fox one I had lasted about 3 months :mad: :mad: .

hiya mate,

I recently had a Fox quatro pod bought me for my birthday to replace the Fox europod that I have been using for about 5 years.

 

I find it to be very stable and easily set up,and I would personally recommend it to any one. The case that it came in holds buzzer bars complete with buzzers attatched and of course the pod.

 

The only complaint that I have about it is that it won't fit in my rod holdall the way that my old Europod did.

My Quattro pod has been pretty good, although I can't claim to have put it under extreme pressure

 

And, God' honest truth, I got it from Hooked a few years ago:

you mean they wear out i`m still using my gardener pro pod and its hardly even scratched :confused:

I recently dipped my toe in the pod arena for the first time. Just haven't needed one until I started fishing a rese that has concrete banks.

 

In the end got the Fox X Pod Plus. After 30 odd trips haven't got a single complaint.

 

Deals with ridicualous winds without any trouble and is very adjustable, well enough for my needs.

See my field test of the Cygnet DLX at http://anglersnet.co.uk/reviews/cygnet-quicklock.htm

 

For me it was much the best of umpteen models I tried out in the shops. Others I rejected as they weren't stable enough, were fiddly and/or slow to put up (horrible when it's pi$$ing down!) or weren't adjustable enough, some not being able to be set high enough.

Banksticks....all the way. More versatile. Spread out your rods. Give it a try.

OK, concrete, I`d use a pod, but then again, how often, these days do we fish off concrete?

Oh Bother, I find myself agreeing with Chesters again! Sadly, my Gardner Pro pod ( Bought secondhand, half price of new) is scratched, but does that make it any less functional/efficient? :confused:
