Fox Black Label Compact Pod & Case,
In the angling community there has long been a debate about the benefits of banksticks versus rod pods – a debate which has proven divisive for many who have strong options on either side of the argument. However, even the most avid bankstick fanatic will have to concede that there are certain environments when using them is simply not viable. Swims with wooden platforms, canals with concrete banksides, and even the morning after a hard frost – all of these scenarios can make it impossible to fish using a bankstick setup. This is where your top quality Fox Black Label Compact Pod and Case comes into play – ensuring that you can enjoy a safe and stable setup in a variety of otherwise challenging bankside scenarios.
As the name suggests, this is an incredibly compact product. One of the biggest complaints that the team had heard time and time again on the bank was that rod pods are just too bulky – especially if they are stable enough to support your rods during an aggressive take. The Fox team worked hard to ensure that this rod pod could provide you with the kind of stability that you require on the bank whilst also offering compact storage. It is fair to say that they have more than exceeded in their aim and you’ll struggle to find a more compact setup than this on the bank! When fully folded, the Compact Pod is a mere 28cm in length and only 11cm in width. This ensures that it can fit into even small pockets on your angling luggage, allowing you to transport it easily to and from the bank. You could even leave it stored in your luggage permanently, just in case you come across a swim which has unsuitable conditions for your usual bankstick setup. This way, you never have to leave an exciting potential swim, just because it happens to have a wooden platform. The Fox Black Label Compact Pod and Case has been manufactured from black anodised aluminium, so not only does it look slick on the bank but it is also incredibly robust. The Compact Pod even comes supplied with its own neoprene case, for ease of storage, and the entire outfit is only 650g in weight.
The compact construction is thanks to a unique folding setup, whereby the legs of the pod collapse around the central bar. Both the legs and the central bar are completely adjustable, too. This allows you to modify your setup to a variety of conditions, ensuring that you can position your rods with precision accuracy. The setup is held in a stable position thanks to a cam-lok system, so you don’t have to worry about your gear wobbling during an impressive take. This Compact Pod and Case is part of the innovative Fox Black Label range. This is a collection of rod support systems and bite indicators, all of which are completely interchangeable in order to allow you to modify your setup as and when you need to – ensuring that you can respond to the conditions on the bank as required. The Compact Pod has been designed to be used with the Fox Black Label Banksticks and the Black Label Buzz Bar converter, enabling you to fish with a goal post setup. It is compatible with both the two rod and three rod buzz bars, too, so you can fish with your ideal fishing rod setup.
If you’re looking for a neat, compact rod pod which will allow you to target every venue to turn to then you need look no further. The Fox Black Label Compact Pod and Case is the perfect addition to the Fox Black Label range and it will soon form an integral part of your carp fishing arsenal.
