Rod Pods, Buzz Bars, Banksticks
Rod pods are very much the defining device of Euro style carp fishing. They provide a solid support for as many as four rods and allow one to fish secure in the knowledge that the rods are unlikely to be pulled into the water by a fish. Baitrunner reels will further increase the security because they allow the line to play off the reel at a controlled tension as the fish runs.
We offer six different rod pods, each with its own distinct advantages.
|
The top-of-the-line pod is the Quattro, this is goal post style pod and is the ultimate in stability yet light weight, compact when folded and easy to carry. Available in three rod and four rod kits complete with buzz bars and padded case. |
|
The Euro Pod Kit affords the maximum flexibility. With the extra long extending upright and two extra long front legs, it can be set up to overcome bankside obstructions and snags. Adjustable splay on the legs further increases its utility. Supplied with a nice, padded case. |
|
The Evolution is a top level pod with adjustable leg splay, adjustable uprights and a body length adjustable from 31" to 52". |
|
The Warrior pod has a nice, heavy duty but light weight body, very quick and easy to setup. Adjustable body length from 31.75" to 52", adjustable legs and uprights. |
|
The Frontier pod is a good combination of price and features. Adjustable legs, uprights and body (29.5"-52"). |
|
The Classic pod couples good functionality with a budget price. Quick setup and light weight. |
The pods, except for the Quattro kits, come without buzz bars so that you can
choose either 2 rod or 3 rod versions, depending on your needs. A choice is also
offered in the rear rests; either the budget all plastic butt rest, the 'U' rod
rest with steel threads and a knurled locking nut or the Rod Lok rest which securely
grips the rod.
If you routinely fish on soft banks, you may wish to use banksticks rather than a rod pod. A pair of these, one with a buzzer and one with a butt rest, driven into the ground will provide a very secure support for your rod.
