I have the 2 rod version of the pod, my 10ft ext rods sit on it really nicely, 12ft rods are ok, but look like they should topple over as they overhang so much. One little thing you missed that is quite handy is that the feet can go in 3 different positions, depending on which way up you put the bracket - widely spread like you had it, vertical or something in-between.
I have a Fishcon tripod and I love the construction, only heavy in weight.. A dutch sonik movie once showed one in black aluminium. Was that a concept? When its going to be on the market?
I have just bought this pod and where you move the spike to the sell center so it can be pushed into the ground. This is no longer possible as the threads are not long enough to come out at the bottom. So I can only assume they have changed the design
It’s the same with all of the bank sticks and buzz bars I had a set bars were wobbly after one use and the cam locks are poor wouldn’t buy sonik the quality is really poor
No need for stage stands. The centre bar has two holes, one at either end to screw straight into the staging. Just unscrew the legs. I have the 3 rod version and can't fault it.
@@paulfoster686 I have the three rod version but can't do the singles set up as shown at 5:50 in the video, the screw doesn't project through the centre bar boss, can you?
This is the 2nd “review” I’ve watched from carpology in the last couple of days and both of them haven’t mentioned the price? Is this the new way of reviewing so you don’t get people moaning how much things are now 😂
@@paulholmes8211Wow and here we have the exact problem with the carping world, I’m guessing you have a titan bivvy with a jag pod and delks with a beautiful set of basias, as I always say, each to their own, the point I was making is if you’re doing a video promoting items and giving information then surely saying how much it is falls under that category 🤷♂️ anyway got to shoot off, argos has a sale on and I want to get in early to buy my new set up 👍
If you look online every product has an RRP price. However, the real prices vary so much nowadays. Why don't you use Google and search like everyone else does 😴😴
@@FixDylann I've had it happen 6 times in the last 2yrs on my lake with mini pods and people fishing tight clutches. I've started leaving a leash in the snaggy swims so I can at least advise them a way to stop the fish towing the rod into the lake. Having to take the boat out to retrieve someones gear and risk a fish towing the whole lot around or getting tethered isn't much fun.
Brilliant review, honest.and comprehensive.with a touch of humour. Good job👍👍👍

Fantastic trip down memory lane..PLEASE do part 2.👌
Funny this got posted. Pulled the trigger on a 2 rod version before this was uploaded.
Sonik nailed it there..

After watching this review I've ordered one
I like the look of the tripod, but would likely end up buying a pair of them.
The way I'd use them I may as well just buy a pod!
I use extractor rods 10ft paired with diawa gs 4000 awesome rods for the price
Who cares?
I use as singles setup all the time...
Good review mate 👍 looking forward to more

Mines the same mate, can't get my spike in the center either 🤷🏽♂️
I will be looking at the tripod looks ideal for my style of fishing
Can u use the xtractor rod for fishing any kind of fish e.g. salmon , mackerel, pollock bass?
I have the 3 rod. Love it. But I feel the cam locks are a bit flimsy.
It’s the same with all of the bank sticks and buzz bars I had a set bars were wobbly after one use and the cam locks are poor wouldn’t buy sonik the quality is really poor
Where can you buy the pointy tips from carnt seem to find them on Web
Can you buy just the centre bar for the pod as I already have the buzz bars and singles ???
Wait is the tripod a separate purchase or can you make it up from the 2/3 rod pod?
Very well made product presentation, thank you.
Good review 👍
Sir can you give video of tackle shop
Thanks! Fantastic review!
This looks good mate but do you have stage stands for them just in case you’re fishing on wooden staging??

Carp fishing isn't for people that have to ask the price of things, so take your whining elsewhere and buy a complete setup from Argos...... 🤣😉

Strange I have the same pod !!! But single set up wont work for me 👎???? Gr from Holland 🤨
I have the 3 rod and mine won't work like on the video for single set up either. Maybe it's just the two rod version.
@@paulfoster686 Thanks Paul 👍
This was something I was going to mention. Even says on the box that you can do it but the threads not long enough
Great video 👍👍
you look so much taller in this video without your beanie hat on Luke
anti scratch coating you say? its covered in scratches
Still waiting for the spikes 😕
"does not scratch or chip off easily" picture zooms in on brand new pod that has 2 large scratches clear as day on it from one use 0:45 ffs🤣
No price given 🤔🤔
Have the sticks, the cam lock mechanisms don’t stop the top twisting .. not massively impressed.
Wow a lot of Negativity my friends after a 2 rod set up and I keep trying to win him one is there no competition for a new one

Never trust a pod where you can't get your butt rings behind the alarms, it's a disaster waiting to happen on anything but a loose clutch.
Nah I use ngt one with nash butt grips never had one issue

@@DjDolHaus86 I fish tight clutch to when snag fishing you just gotta be fast man
@@FixDylann Yeah no shit but if you can't be quick your setup needs to be stable and short pods aren't stable.
@@DjDolHaus86 if you can't be quick you should be in open water simple
WHAT a faf that is 🤣🤣🤣
Video was so long.... cos the pod takes so long to set up so its a no from me.
what a complicated piece of kit.
