Reel Em In Rick 2 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Do you prefer to use bank sticks or a rod pod, why do you use one and not the other ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salokcinnodrog 3,616 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Do you prefer to use bank sticks or a rod pod, why do you use one and not the other ? I nearly always use goalpost system buzzer bars. However my complete pod can be used as a pod, or as banksticks. If I can get the sticks into the ground then I won't use the pod. If however I have to use the pod, then I will do so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
charlieg 15 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I prefer to use a pod. It doesn't take very long to set up and makes no disturbance on harder ground venues. I use a buzz bar on banksticks where the ground is really soft. The buzz bars I use just come straight of the pod onto a stick so no messing about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blanksalot 260 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 99% of the time i use a two rod buzz bar on short single sticks with a stabiliser, only this week i have modified my pod to work on concrete pegs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grangemilky 335 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Bank sticks and buzzbars. Pods are for nods Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andy52 425 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Generally use single sticks, but have a pod for when I can't get me sticks in ( does this make me half a nod?) Dannym506 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reel Em In Rick 2 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 "Pods for nods" haha I'm gonna use that saying tomorrow night with someone. I just use bank sticks, very rare I come across a place what has hard ground n if I end up on a peg what's full of stones they get put in at any angle n left there.

t30sxh 86 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Single sticks. However, I had to use a mallet last week because the ground was too hard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smufter 2,228 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Pods are for nods I have both, but prefer using my pod. Cygnet quicklock. Nice and light and a doddle to put up and take down again. (edited NG) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grangemilky 335 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 buzzbars are for stars Quote Link to post Share on other sites
newmarket 2,078 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Single sticks always unless i have to use a pod . Pointing rod directly at the hookbait , i find , gives me better indication . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete simmo simmons 18 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I have both a pod and bank sticks,and use them according to the swim I'm fishing, I tend to favor the pod more though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dannyash 14 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Pod for most of the time, or i can use the buzzbars with bank sticks, sometimes i will use single sticks for each rod, depends how I'm feeling. Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamieh90 0 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Yeah pod for me too. I have the nash 4-play so if I want to use the buzz bars i take the middle section of the pod and have a goal post set up, which I've never done but could do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salokcinnodrog 3,616 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 ????? ,Does no one cut a Y hazel from the hedgerow any more ,????. If I'm down at the lake single rod stalking and need a rod rest, I prefer not to cut a branch off a tree, but will happily use a deadfall branch Is it hazel, willow and alder that can grow fresh roots from shoots or cut branches?

Prefer single sticks, usually scattered around my swim in apparently random style. I like the separation and room to manoeuvre. Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wherever possible I'll set them in such a way as to give me good access from either side but still within arm's reach of each other. I learned this from my first visit to Rushes Lake, near Le Mans. Twice in a week I had takes on two rods, almost simultaneously. Both times were in the early hours and both times my son, in the next swim, was sound asleep and snoring so I was left to my own devices. Now that was a laugh..........
