Carp Fishing Rod Pods & Rests FAQs
What are the benefits of using a pod vs a single stick rest?
The advantage of a pod over bank sticks is that you don't need to push these into a substrate meaning they are perfect for situations where you cannot push the sticks into the ground, such as when fishing from platforms, or on really hard terrain.
Do pods have to be pushed into the ground/terrain?
No, this is their main advantage over banksticks.
Are pods or single stick rests easier to set up and transport?
This will vary entirely depending on the pod design, and make-up. Some pods will not fold up/collapse as small or as compact as others, unlike bank stick and buzz bar setups which will streamline down. However, some compact pods will fold up small enough to fit in your rucksack and are extremely compact.
What are the main differences between the more expensive pods and the cheaper options?
More expensive pods will be better designed and constructed from stronger and/or lighter materials such as stainless steel or aluminium.
Can I attach my bite alarm to pods and/or single stick rests?
Most pods will require a buzz bar which with some is supplied or will be purchased separately so that alarms and butt rests can be attached.
Can a pod be moved to different locations once set up?
You can move a pod once set up, just lift the rods off the rests and it can be picked up and moved.
Types of fishing rod pods
Here at TFT we stock a massive range of rod pods to suit all budgets and requirements from only the best manufacturers available.
Rod pods serve one purpose, to support your rods and keep them off the ground but the benefits are way more than that…..
Rod pods come into their own when the bankside terrain makes it impossible to push Banksticks into the ground, many fisheries have wooden platforms or concrete stages and, in some cases, it may be necessary to have your rods out in the water, particularly if the margins are very shallow.
Of course, on top of all that its very simple to up sticks and move swims if using a rod pod, just pick the rod pod up, place it on the barrow and off you go, when you get to your new swim just place it in the right position and away you go, no struggling to push Banksticks in the ground!
Solar Tackle, Fox, JAG, Summit, Prologic, Nash Tackle and Cygnet are just some of the brands we carry good stock of, there really is something to suit all tastes and budgets.
Stainless rod pods tend to be very robust, solid and hard wearing but they weigh a lot more.
The black anodised aluminium rod pods are lighter, black in colour and certainly more conspicuous than stainless steel, ideal for anglers who fish the margins or in crystal water.
At the end of the day the choice is yours but if you are unsure and need some advice then get in touch and we will point you in the right direction!
