Again, with this being a compact rod pod, you would expect it to not be as stable as others on the market. I had already accepted this ahead of buying, knowing that I’ll be using around 50% of my fishing time. How wrong I was! Cygnet Rod Pod in action on a recent session. You can see how chunky the 20/20 buzz bars are in comparison to my Gardner ATTs Bite Alarms. In terms of its overall length, it’s more than long enough for your to be able to get your butt rings behind the alarms if needed. The legs are small but all adjustable with more than enough to steady the pod on uneven ground.

I think it’s to do with the way the legs splay out. They go out diagonally rather than parallel to the buzz bars, so as to widen the surface area effectively. We use a selection of couriers to get your products to you, these vary depending on the size of the item, the destination of delivery, and whether it is a priority delivery or standard delivery. Each of the legs can be adjusted from 40cm up to 55cm, which is probably more than enough than you will need. Weighing around the 2kg mark, the smallest length you can place your rods on top of is 70cm, with the maximum length a mighty 130cm which is very long! I have no affiliation to Cygnet in any way so this review is completely my own.
