When it comes to modern day fishing the conscientious angler must keep up to date with the latest tackle and gear that will help to ensure that everything is optimized to make your set up as effective and efficient as possible. With the introduction of the new bite alarms and all that go with them, what was once a simple task of providing a solid and stable set up has turned into an increasing complicated task. This is where the use of a rod comes in.

When choosing a rod pod from the pages of rodpod.org.uk there are a couple of key features to keep an eye out for in order to ensure that you make the best and most suitable purchase for your needs, getting the most for money spent and the highest possible quality.

Firstly, look for a rod pod that states it has telescopic legs with a firm and secure locking system as this will be needed for uneven ground, as an angler rarely has the luxury of fishing on a completely flat and even surface. Also look for a rod pod that states it has a goal post set up which allows a separation of the body and bank sticks.

Finally, concluding this very brief guide, always check the weight of your rod pod and have a look to see if it compacts down to a manageable size. Ideally, you will have a strong and lightweight rod pod which is easily broken down and stored in a small size to make for easy transportation. Some of the more expensive pods on the market will fulfill this function perfectly, however, for a lesser price a high level of quality can still be found.

All in all, make sure to have a thorough look at every rod pod you are considering and don’t forget to use vouchers to get money off a purchase and get the best deal available. This is an easy task and discounts are available all over the internet.

This unique and innovative offering from TF Gear gives a different take on rod rests. Fitting easily onto bank sticks and rod pods it will adjust to any butt diameter.
