'NOT REALLY IMPRESSED!'
Strengths:
It gets over snags and can be used for every carp fishing situation (apart from a tight swim!)Looks the dogs goolies??
Very stable even in "Silly" weather.
Weaknesses:
Heavy! TOO MANY LOOSE/DETATCHABLE PARTS that can easily be lost from the buzzbars that connect to the alarms (i have lost one and im knackered now until i get a replacement) and to the pod its self. The middle swinger (on the 3 rod set up)rests on the horizontal main bar and canott swing free, so a drop back wont be detected because the swinger cant move downwards, BAD Design! The locking bolts are a nightmare to undo with cold wet hands and really difficult to get a good grip on them.
Overall:
I would prefer a bogstandard, no singing, no dancing, run of the mill POD, that does its job and bits dont fall off it. Not what i would expect from "FOX".

'MY BEST POD EVER.........'
Strengths:
the biggest strenghts is clearly its stabillity, even when its set on vertical its steady as a rock and that is wery important to me and i think alot of other carpers.
the pods meny different possitions is typically fox and i like it alot.
i like that you can set the legs in different angels to ensure stabillity even on rock.
my problems with previos pods was that they all were to lov mening that i always had to clear the area around swingers and in front before fishing every time... that sucks...
those days are over now and i can now youse my energy fishing like it was intended.
i have the 4 rod version and the spread of rods is perfekt.
there is loads of other very good features but i think i mentioned the bedst ones.
Weaknesses:
hmmmmmmmm.
thats harder.
i must be the waight of the pod.
i cant find other weaknesses sorry.
Overall:
a wery god investment if you are fishing carp.
if you fish "hock and hold" this pod is the pod...

god fishing to all.
