Pros: Price
Cons: quality, the front rod rest and rear butt rest snapped from their brass feruls on tightning. Section between buzz bars and legs snapped its plastic fittings when attached. Droppers don't hold the line correctly and drop off at the slightest movement.

A cheap 3 rod pod You get what you pay for. Slightly disappointing.

Pros: My R.T. Pod cmae complete with three RT bite alarms a spare set of droppers and a spare set of back restsMostly though it was a birthday present from my wife (A non angler) hence the in a nutshell comment
Cons: lots of little bits to pack away in the darkMost of the fisheries I go to only alow two rod maximum so I need to go on a rece. session in the south manchester cheshire region

Pros: The main strength of this pod is the price.The droppers seem to be perfectly useable.
Cons: After fairly minimal use I found that the leg length adjuster became very loose and so it was practically impossible to tighten them.So in my view not one for heavy duty use.

Ok for the angler on a tight budget I actually got this pod as part of a two rod carp outfit and was happy with the other parts(rods and reels etc),so after seeing the rather cheap quality of the pod I probably would spend the bit extra and buy a better one.

Pros: Cheap, useful buzzer bars, easy to transport even fully mounted, light&small
Cons: The plastic parts are easily broken, the swingers are very fragile and can't hold the line in, adjustability is very small, difficult to handle with big reels.

You get what you pay for If you are fishing the same spot (with flat ground) and doing fast sessions, it's the pod for you. I'm buying a new pod, but not selling this one, as it has its uses (mentioned above).
