bivvy, rod pods.

[gismo]

i,m after buying a bivvy and rod pod but not a stainless pod can any of you knowledgable chaps recomend any from your vast amount of experience and how much approx are they many thanks gismo

I bivvy I can recommend is The Shakespere Cypry Dome. A 1-man bivvy is roughly £50-60 and a 2-man bivvy is around £75-90. It is the cheapest but best quality bivvy I know of and I'm getting the two-man one next week! About the Rod-Pods I'm not too sure I just use my Dad's Pod - I havent really looked up the best bargains for Rod-Pods yet sorry!

check out the fox quadpod, not the cheapest but very stable

I got the Nash Powerpod GT it came with buzzer bars supplied and i have had no trouble at all,£55 i think.

See my field test of the Cygnet DLX pod in the reviews section here on Angler's Net.

The Badger Frontliner pod ( http://www.badgerclassics.com ) is good value and pretty well made for the money. Also a bloody sight lighter than a Stainless pod!

see the one my mate is selling in the for sale section ... there is a contact number to ring if you are interested ... £100.00 worth for £50 ... can't be bad ...

 

If you aren't interested in that then I can get you a fox warrior pod (never used) for £45.00 and you pay postage.

 

cheers

Evening gizmo.

Slayer here.

If you are up for burning some serious spondulics.

Get an aqua products armadillo.

Ive got the original aqua dome 8 years old and still looking after me.

If me wife let me an armadillo would be first on my shopping list.

Tight lines slayer...

 

Big net big ambitions....

ALRIGHT GIZMO,

WELL I CAN DEFINATELY RECOMMEND THE ONE & TWO MAN CYPRY DOMES BY SHAKESPEARE THEY'RE BRILLIANT,EXTREMELY CHEAP,100% WATERPROOF & GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY.BUT THERE IS ONE DOWN SIDE TO THEM,THE FIBREGLASS POLES ARE EXTREMELY FLIMSY & YOU DONT HAVE THE OPTION OF PURCHASING ALUMINIUM ONES SO BEAR THAT IN MIND! ALTHOUGH ONCE ERECTED THEY DONT AFFECT THE STABLILITY OF THE BIVVY.

AS FOR PODS ALTHOUGH I DONT OWN ONE, KEEP YOUR EYE'S PEELED FOR THE QUATTRO POD PLUS.IT'S COMPLETELY ADJUSTABLE, VERY STRONG AND RETAIL'S FOR AROUND £70 INCLUSIVE OF TWO FOX BUZZER BARS.

[Frostie]

I think you are talking about the Fox X-POD Plus, not the Quattro! The Quattro is around £120 unless the price has come down! In my opinoin you cant go far wrong searching for a s/hand one, I managed to pick up a mint Solar Sod Pod for £40!
