Best Rod Pod

[danna]

Heres a pic of the Defiant Trident pod i use, from a custom builder.



Very versatile since you can use it as a 3 rod pod, or 2 rod pod and seperate bansticks, or 3 seperate sets of banksticks.

Also, say if you are fishing two rods and want the tips down low, but want to fish one with the tips up high, no probs. keith will build whatever you want. For instance, even though the system allows you to put your butt reing behind the alarm, i wanted a longer 'axle' so he built one to my spec. Also check out his hawk hangers, bought a pair since i took that photo, they are PERFECT.

And heres the best bit, the price is £140. No need for buzz bars neither, just butt rests.

No mate they're NG's, love 'em.

The cords are made from solid silver, are very light and supple. £15 complete !!! So thats £45 for three, i remember being charged over £100 for solar stainless hangers etc, Keith has opened my eyes a bit and made me realise how much fox solar etc rip you off to be honest. Top kit.

His slackliners are worth a look too.

arhhh NG,s i thought the SS20 stainless reel fitting only went on the century FS or the FMJ
my mates got standards century NG,s without the SS20 reel fitting i had a play with them casts and play fish really well

your right about the named company hiking the prices up on tackle its the name you pay for now.
once upon a time i would have said it was the quality you paid for but sadly the standards have dropped now .

There's definately stronger design rods about but i use them on fish up to 20lb on a syndicate lake as well as larger fish elsewhere and you still get a proper bend in them

I wouldn't mind having a 3.5tc in the quiver but then again i don't think i'm compressing a 2.75 properly yet so i know there's alot to come out of them.

I like the globetrotter pod, what difference does having the rods sitting on the axle bar make do you think compared to say the worldwide.

you guys are very fortunate to have such vast choices. here in South Africa your facet of angling is now the biggest growing facet and the market is showing a lot of these products coming in. Kev, nice info.
