Sorry Hawk cant talk you out of anything. Personally I would rather buzz bars over a pod but I would also rather have individual banks sticks over buzz bars so I would be no good to ask. Also look at the shiney shiney!!! Those bars are proper bling B) They would have to be draped in realtree of course.

Hi Hawk

 

A lot of what session carp anglers do is to be fashionable. Having the bail arms and reel handles all aligning etc.

 

I do use a rodpod if I have too. If on very hard ground or staging of any kind.

 

I do however mostly now use stainless bank sticks. I like to have the rods pointing directly at end tackle.

 

The good thing about the stainless ones is they are thin compared with most other banksticks and you really can get them in hard and stoney ground.

 

The carpers set up is generally based around these with a couple of cross beams to align it all although many just use single sticks.

 

regards

 

John

 

I'm with John here, except that I don't use stainless steel as it's too heavy. Cheap aluminium banksticks tend to bend, but the ones I use certainly haven't in some 10 years of use and so work out inexpensive in the long run. See my review at http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/tackle-and-bai...banksticks.html.

 

Like some others I prefer to point my rods towards the baits as much as possible. With species such as perch that don't like changes in resistance this can be vital. I also want to know as much as possible about what's going on, especially when predator fishing where avoiding deep hooking is so important.

 

Even with carp there are times when small indications are absorbed by the rod tip, especially when weather conditions are changing.

 

Finally, I'd add that you don't need a pod for the platforms at Wingham as they have slats to stick your banksticks through.

I'll only use a pod as a last resort, I don't use single banksticks either as carrying 8 (for 4 rods) of them really takes its toll not only on the body, but on the wallet too lol, I tend to use snag bars whenever I can, its by far the most stable set up and have never really needed anything else

A vote for the Kings bank sticks in Steve B's review. They really are excellent, I have had mine for a few years and no problems yet.

Forget them hawk, I don't think they're extending and they look pretty naff quality. Dinsmores do do some good one's though, the extending spiral one's are good...

fox and other companies do them also, imo your better with several of both the long one's and the medium one's to cover different situations. They're not cheap when you start to buy a few, the only consolation being they should last for years.
