Its not bad really for a cheap pod. I have seen then in action and it is actually relatively stable. Id much rather get this pod than one of the tripods. You also have some options to adjust the angle of the rods.
Almost non of the tri pods can accomodate big pit reels propperly where this one can. Another cheapie that is quite good is the predator but it only comes in 3 rod.

@ jenel :take a used pod and sharpen the goal posts, works a treat, whats the difference between 2k bank sticks and home made ones as long as they are stable and even, always remember pods and bank sticks dont catch carp, i have a fox A pod which i never use properly i just stick the goal posts into the ground, and taadaa perfect bank stick, nice and low and stable as hell,, and looks pro if you worried about image,

JENEL - do you do conventional angling as well - or only specimen?
Hi Guys,
Already Bought the pod on Saterday with the Rods/Reels and a fishfinder.
Just wanted to know if there's somebody around using it and wanted some feedback on it. It's on the market since Sept'2008...surfed the net and can't get anything bad about it. It's selling anything from r480.00 up to r880.00 (can you believe the price differents)
BP & JM: Must say the Pod is stable (much better than a tripod) and yes I've got some big reels..LC's and XTE10000.
Deisel: thanks for your advice, believe a lot off the guys is going for bankstick now.... I will get me some.
Jacques: Still new to specimen....busy getting everything together...plan to do my first session in July.
All the years I did conventional angling, Why you ask?

The image that you used in your post was a photograph that I have taken when I tested the pod for Sensation.
It is a great versatile medium sized pod that is very stable. It is definitely better than the tri-pods in my opinion. The design is based on the Fox Horizon Pod.
The buzz bars are quite wide and can therefore accommodate big pit reels.

I have a Docs mirage pod and it works perfectly for me, i have no complaints about it and got mine for R450 at Angling africa.
Used it the same day at Struben and it was stable enough for me even though I fished with tight drags close to snags. Im really happy with mine, think it works well for the price I paid.

:woohoosiocnarf:
Baie dankie vir jou input. Het regtig nie nog kans gesien om ook nou n pod te koop van r2500.00 + nie. Het baie spandeer op die stokke en katrolle.
Glo die mirage sal my ten minste so paar maande uithelp...wil nou liewrs eers begin met sessies bywoon...wil ernstig begin om die kuns te leer.

Verseker, ek stem volkome saam met jou. Ja......:swearEish ek dink nou begin die moeilike taak om te besluit wat die beste is om te kry wat jou nie n plaas se prys gaan kos nie en daar is so baie eindgerei beskikbaar op die mark.
Gelukkig is Derrick by WA Boksburg baie behulpsaam in die opsig, vir hom gaan dit oor die beste wat jy kan bekostig en nie oor duur Brand names nie. En hy het my regtig baie gehelp met die kies en besluit van my nuwe toerusting deur my die kobinasies van stok en katrol te voel.
Tot dusver is ek gelukkig met wat ek aangekoop het. Die ouens op die forum het my op die regte pad gesit met die regte keuses.:fst::thankie Ek weet julle almal is daar om vir my die regte raad te gee sodat ek die regte besluite kan neem.

Dis nes HennieB gese het n duur pod is nice om te he.... Niks fout met die pod wat jy gekoop het nie. Ek self vang met n tripod van Sentation wat ek persoonlik dink is k@k hy is baie onstabiel as jy hom op ongelyke gronde gebruik.
Hy moet altyd met penne vas getrek word... Ek dink die pod wat jy nou gekoop het is 100 keer meer stabiel en kan op enige oppervlak gebruik word. Dis hoekom ek nou vir die bankstick opsie "met n twist" gaan...
Kyk ek gaan steeds vir my n Fox Stalker aanskaf maar vir nou gaan ek maar die banksticks gebruik.
In elk geval as jy agter jou goed kyk dan sal dit jou jare hou... Soos Hennie gese het spandeer eerder jou geld op kwaliteit endtackle. Dit sal in die einde van die dag bepaal of jy sukses behaal of nie.
En as jy begin endtackle aanskaf dan sal jy sien hoe duur die sport regtig is. Maar soos ek altyd vir vroulief se maak nie saak hoe duur iets is in die sport nie dit bly steeds n Bargain...lol
