Pods are for nods? Not this pod! | Summit Tackle CB Colosseum Pod

[@benweeks8430]

By far the best pod I’ve used, worth every penny of the £300, as for people saying it’s unstable clearly you are not using it correctly never moved for me. Push the stubby spikes in the ground and it’s like a rock. Very happy, sold my century carbon pod to buy this.

[@SPS_survivor]

Well they need to watch that savage bite at the start of the video Ben - yeah ok, it was a 3lb common but as I’m sure a lot of us know, the heavier fish tend to be slower takes. I wound the video back a few times and it did not budge, bearing in mind it was also a margin rod so that’s good enough for me!! It’s just a shame that on this model summit made them with fixed buzz bars. Great little pod for most occasions. I use a cygnet qwik lok pod but am upgrading to to the Summit colosseum CB3 rod pod, yes it’s bigger and more expensive, but the way I look at is, I’ll never need another one … ever!! My rods and reels are both high end so this new one will finish it all off perfectly. It’s not about being a tackle tart - we buy and spend what we can justify at the end of the day (plus I don’t have a misses to try and justify myself 😂) The cygnet is good but I have a severe disability in my back so need the rods raised higher. It also suits my European carp fishing needs with adjustable front and back legs meaning it’s extremely versatile (no I don’t work for summit 😂) Just to let any know that may like the pod in the video, Birds tackle are doing them on offer - CB version is £279 and the SS version is £259

Christ that was an essay - sorry!!

[@DJ-lw9gp]

The black anodised bars rust! Even after getting back from a winters session and drying the pod / sticks. Looks the part until the rust starts to show.

[@pk.kostyszyn4659]

Sold my solar worldwide and got this and very happy very stable in use, think the carry bag could be better but very happy

[@alanh2062]

Great looking pod, do like summit gear, use the solar p1 and don’t think I will I ever need or feel the need to replace it, expensive but forever.👍

[@inSaNe_44]

Me too, I have the solar sod pod p1 at 148 pounds! A very correct price! And with the 3 posts buzz bar wide from solar, is perfect!

[@azbosmith1985]

Already own this with the adjustable buzz bars and it is a very well made pod and i would never change it

[@danielfairless6124]

until they make a sexyer updated model lol

[@antm786]

I've had mine for a year now and it's just great. looks amazing... but seems forever to set up. Will last a lifetime.

[@leebarker7563]

Do the buzz bars have an adjustable thread for the alarms or is it washers again to get them perfectly straight?

[@mketrayz766]

Love my cobalt black pod and with al the extra parts you have so many options so the pod will suit every situation. Only minor thing is that the blacks parts get scratches.

[@DunkinBiscuits]

Aluminium rusts?

[@carpnstuff]

I'm not a fan of pods but some venues really do require them, concrete banks or platforms etc, and if I ever decide I really must bite the bullet and get one, this will be the one I get, nice and low and super stable...as with everything in life...you get what you pay for.

[@steve00712]

Trust me they are not stable when you get a run from the side. Iv had my pod ripped over many times even when my clutch what lose. The CofG is just to high up

[@carpnstuff]

@@steve00712 I'll stick to my single bank sticks then...particularly as I like to have my clutches set quite tight.

[@steve00712]

@@carpnstuff yeah good call. I like fishing to the left and right and to many times my pod was over and I still have the clutch free but not totally free. Its a great pod just to top heavy

Witch scope rods do you use? Nice bend from a small carp.

Love it but I've recently purchased the solar Ground Pod.and a great review as always looks the business that pod I Don blame you for keeping it lol 😆

[@danielfairless6124]

beautiful looking, would buy if I had surplus cash. Is there bobbins from the company or do you buy your own favourites?

[@stephenchandler9709]

Sweet looking pod

[@rich9726]

Is this pod OK for 12ft rods as they don't do the extender any more

if you don't want us to give our opinion on cost and stuff then may be close the comments ? Also there are cheaper alternatives to this pod !

[@lewisgregory263]

Better than solar?

[@paulsimpson6442]

I'll stick to my JAG bank stick setup so quick to set up and put away, get there dig stick too and you can get in to the hardest of banks, but this pod looks the tits I would get it if I fished metal platforms

[@lespaul3717]

I have the stainless version.... It is amazing and looks sexy as f**k!!! I cannot believe how strong and steady this is. When you have your rods on it there is virtually no movement at all when you get a big pull... Yes, expensive but, IMO, worth it. You will never need to buy another pod, put it that way, its that good and cool.

[@warrendunn8569]

It's difficult to justify the price considering another comment said it isn't the most stable pod.

[@Shagley]

I take around £4000 worth of equipment to the lake and then wonder why I can’t sleep

????does that include the your summit pod😁

@@alanh2062 hell no I don’t like folding up my reel handles I think it’s retarded

Haha - yeah me too mate. No pod though … yet 😂

[@paulAnthony7236]

Seems the norm now when you have dogs best anti thief alarms ever lol.

[@steve00712]

I have this pod and trust me it gets pulled over very easily. It didn't show in this as he only had a 3lb. Try a 10lb+ it gets ripped over very easy. Biggest downfall with these pods is it takes some time to put together and dismantle never mind when it's cold weather things get stiffer. So this reason I am selling mine, great pod just takes to long to set up and not stable enough and Summit even admitted it at the big one fishing show lol.

[@alanh2062]

Really mate, pods need locking down also🤔

[@steve00712]

@@alanh2062 agree but my comment was reference to his comment saying its solid and won't topple over. I use a lead weight bag to help but as the weight is very top heavy with the reels and alarms it still goes over

I take the buzz bars off mine and keep the pod assembled after that and just put it face down on the barrow and lock the middle tight

I’ve always wondered why the makers can’t make a pod which can be widened, leaving alarms further apart. £300 !!!! Your having a laugh

[@steve00712]

Summit do make them to be further apart.

I don’t get the pod thing . Huge prices etc . For years I’ve used single sticks and swear by Fox power point black . They literally go in to anything 👍🌞
