Oh My Pod! Sonik's Xtractor Rod Pods and Tripod Reviewed

FLASH SALE! 3 issues of CARPology for just £5! Click here to order⇢ www.carpology.net/shop/subscr...
There seems to have been a collective rethink on the world of rod pods in carp fishing over the last five years or so, thanks to some stylish new designs. Away from the classic high-price options, rickety pylon-like pods were once scoffed at, but not anymore. They’ve become lower to the ground, more compact, more stylish and more affordable-just like these new ones from Sonik. The Xtractor Pods offer a mass of different options, are fully customisable and won't make your wallet sweat.

Brilliant review, honest.and comprehensive.with a touch of humour. Good job👍👍👍

[@stevetompsett5515]

Good review mate 👍 looking forward to more

[@marck7270]

Very well made product presentation, thank you.

[@davelebeer6551]

Thanks! Fantastic review!

[@johnpenney1547]

Good review 👍

[@MRT.1977]

Great video 👍👍

[@markbundock8117]

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.

[@paulpeters4227]

I will be looking at the tripod looks ideal for my style of fishing

[@paulsalter4949]

After watching this review I've ordered one

[@Dildo_Shwaggins]

Funny this got posted. Pulled the trigger on a 2 rod version before this was uploaded.

[@rickygreenslade7399]

Sonik nailed it there..

[@Cameron_Jamie94]

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!

[@herbsal1144]

Can u use the xtractor rod for fishing any kind of fish e.g. salmon , mackerel, pollock bass?

[@jamesryder1921]

Can you buy just the centre bar for the pod as I already have the buzz bars and singles ???

[@cb5034]

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?

[@aayushbaniyathenepalikanch8637]

Sir can you give video of tackle shop

[@paulhigham6047]

I use as singles setup all the time...

[@steveunderhill2341]

Where can you buy the pointy tips from carnt seem to find them on Web

[@northernsouthner365]

Wait is the tripod a separate purchase or can you make it up from the 2/3 rod pod?

[@mattyXmith]

I have the 3 rod. Love it. But I feel the cam locks are a bit flimsy.

[@tomgarrett7567]

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

[@steve00712]

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

[@davidbraithwaite3463]

Mines the same mate, can't get my spike in the center either 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@FixDylann]

I use extractor rods 10ft paired with diawa gs 4000 awesome rods for the price

[@ruthless964]

Who cares?

[@Hyperraj1]

This looks good mate but do you have stage stands for them just in case you’re fishing on wooden staging??

[@paulhigham6047]

www.total-fishing-tackle.com/sonik-stanz-stage-stand-16-19mm Pre order

[@paulfoster686]

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.

[@Hyperraj1]

[@andrewblackmore2677]

Strange I have the same pod !!! But single set up wont work for me 👎???? Gr from Holland 🤨

[@paulfoster686]

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.

[@joethomas9722]

This was something I was going to mention. Even says on the box that you can do it but the threads not long enough

[@benjo8882]

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 😂

[@paulholmes8211]

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...... 🤣😉

[@benjo8882]

@@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 👍

​@@paulholmes8211 what a prick. Jeez! What is wrong with you people?!?!😅😅

[@MRT.1977]

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 😴😴

[@WeihrauchShooter]

"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🤣

[@tscrewtv]

Still waiting for the spikes 😕

[@biganddaft11]

anti scratch coating you say? its covered in scratches

[@danielmackay8365]

Have the sticks, the cam lock mechanisms don’t stop the top twisting .. not massively impressed.

WHAT a faf that is 🤣🤣🤣

[@Life_of_John]

Video was so long.... cos the pod takes so long to set up so its a no from me.

[@DjDolHaus86]

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.

[@FixDylann]

Nah I use ngt one with nash butt grips never had one issue

[@DjDolHaus86]

@@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.

[@FixDylann]

@@DjDolHaus86 I fish tight clutch to when snag fishing you just gotta be fast man

[@DjDolHaus86]

@@FixDylann Yeah no shit but if you can't be quick your setup needs to be stable and short pods aren't stable.
