'A CARBELLERS DREAM!'

Strengths:
multi positions
well made
fairly cheap(against the sky pod)

Weaknesses:
none for what i use it for

Overall:
bought one for the trent after seeing Matt Browns(see bfw website)
buy some long banksticks for the front and you have a multi purpose pod for a two rod set up on a river,keep the small ones on and it's good for lakes

good piece of kit no matter what water your on.

'STABLE AS A TREE TRUNK...! WITH FEATURES TO BOOT...!'

Strengths:
Superb design and flexibility.
This pod has it all.
Lots of different adjustments can be made with the same features as the bigger brother (Sky Pod), except the weight is half as much.

Additional feet enable the pod to be pegged down, making it great for snag fishing or to stop any movement from aggresive takes.

A bargain at £79.99.

Weaknesses:
Longer legs would be a bonus, with more scope for higher angles.

No bag provided to protect the pod and keep all the bits together on breakdown, unlike the Skypod which comes with its own bag...!

Another negative is the distance between the middle rod position and the central cross bar when using swingers, although the euro swingers provide a little extra height due to the shape of the arms.

Come on fox..Complete the pod..!

Overall:
A fantastic pod at the right price..!
Any situation is possible and it is very well made, so should go the distance.
Bargain Price £79.99..!

'MMMM NOT SURE'

Strengths:
Light, very long, will accomodate 13 footers and big pit style reels easily,stable and should be easy to set up.

Weaknesses:
Locking ring missing on front buzzer bar,locking ring is plastic and prone to slipping.Locking nuts for buzzers and rear rod rests do not lock up causing buzzers to slip around.Front legs not long enough.No case.Superflous bits of plastic present.

Overall:
I bought this pod for one water where bank space is at a minimum.
I committed the cardinal sin of buying on advice and over the internet without looking first.
I needed a pod that could sit with the front legs in the water in four feet.I assumed rightly that I could add the outers of bivvy sticks (CygnetTackle) to achieve this, problem solved.
The locking nuts/rings do not work but with a bit of DIY are now solidly in position.
No case but it will go in the pocket of my sling.
In summing up, Mr Fox this is really a tatty effort for &79.00,you must try harder.
With modifications it does the job.
