It’s miles out of my price range but honestly don’t think it’s over priced. The materials, machining and design work that’s gone into it really show. Go to a machine shop and ask them to make one for you, you’ll see Solar are actually pretty reasonably priced.

I have an original solar supreme stainless pod that bought in the 90s, I think it is better than this latest one. Lighter, less bulky, takes seconds to set up. It’s a fancy rod rest, no need to reinvent the wheel.
@ondrejjanoska6603 жыл бұрын
Still the original world wide pod is in my opinion the best without any doubts …. Owning it since 2016 and really love it.

Nice review, shame you had the buzz bars back to front 😂😂😂 that’s why you had to have the front legs so low to try and level your rods! Proper schoolboy error 😂😂😂😂😂

It is a well engineered piece of perfection, not for me to be honest but still a nice bit of kit.

Great review as always and without a doubt one if not the nicest pod on the market ,but that’s a new bivvy with wrap for someone with a budget like mine ,don’t get me wrong it’s well worth every penny that solar charge but out of range for a lot of people

£499 for a product to last a lifetime is worthwhile, mine arrived last week! Decent bit of kit.

@andrewrobinson26802 жыл бұрын
It has been first class. Some adjustable uprights would have made it even better, really happy with it. 👍
@marleymcanulty11186 ай бұрын
Did you have to buy the buzzbars to be able to use it as im not sure if i need to buy them too for it to even work
@andrewrobinson26806 ай бұрын
Buzzbars would need to purchased separately.

Pod aside - The Carp scene is in the process of pricing itself out of the market. I'm guilty of it spending nearly £800 on a tempest 150. Normally I would be excited but, this time reality set in.

@danielalaxander3961 : You’ve taken a very naive and simplistic view which your comments reflect. The company that make this piece of kit are at liberty to charge whatever they like for it. Conversely, you are at liberty not to buy it……whether other people think it’s fine or not to buy it is totally and utterly irrelevant. Also calling it a chunk of metal just shows your ignorance. You obviously aren’t involved in engineering for a living. Probably a milkman ( no disrespect to milkmen intended).

nice review as always, pods are a funny bit off kit plenty of lower price ones but most are near useless for anything other than a bit of fair weather fishing. Might treat myself to one seems i just been kicked off my syndicate, long story won't bore ya, nothing to do with fish.
