'COMPACT AND STABLE - A GREAT PIECE OF KIT.'

Strengths:

I've owned mine for about 4 years now and it has been used in all weather conditions from a gentle zephyr breeze to a near hurricane.
Totally stable, neat and compact in use and doesn't weigh a ton either.
Packs neatly into its own carry case which is well padded for protection, so much so that I leave my buzzers on all the time.

Weaknesses:

None that I have discovered in use, other than (and I'm being picky here) it is very difficult to find any tackle shop who actually Stock the leg extensions.

Overall:

Overall I would thoroughly recommend this pod to anyone who has the where-with-all to purchase one, but remember that they are not cheap, but then top quality rarely is.

'STABLE, FREE-STANDING ROD POD'

Strengths:
Completelely free standing and due to its low centre of gravity very stable.Buzzer bars and carrying case included in the Quattro Kit

Weaknesses:
Price --its RRP of £139 is a little (to my mind)overpriced
but it can be purchased for a more realistic £99 from quite a few outlets

Overall:
The design allows the use of goal post style set ups but still keeps the usual pod concept--I found it very easy to set up and with the use of longer euro bank sticks can be used over marginal snags.Considering how light it is it still retains its stability
All extending parts are fitted with the Fox locking system so there are no screws to come loose adding to its stability and being free standing can be used when having to fish on either platforms or hard banks.
All in all a good product(apart from its RRP)

'FRAGILE'

Strengths:
ok in design and stability

Weaknesses:
I dropped mine and it broke in two - what a waste of money

Overall:
Don't touch them with a barge pole.
Fox ignored my emails and never rang me back. I consigned mine to the distbin eventually

'GOOD STABLE POD'

Strengths:
Light and easy to put up.Comes supplied with a well made bag.
Very stable.

Weaknesses:
Like Bob I broke the middle section but after a lengthy call to Fox I managed to purchase the new part.Its when you brake and have to repair one that you find its true quailty and in this case the build quality was very poor.
Not Great for the price.

Overall:
A good stable pod but let down by poor workmanship unlike its great the bag that comes as standard and its price.
