Things to Consider When Buying a Fishing Rod Pod   by Nick Gent

Most anglers today tend to use multiple rod set ups when fishing for carp enabling them to fish many different end tackle presentations, baits and areas at the same time. To get round the problem of carrying lots of separate bank sticks to the lake tackle manufacturers developed the rod pod which can hold up to four rods plus bite alarms, indicators and butt grips.

Most rod pods have adjustable legs and buzzer bars so the angler can point the rods in the desired direction be it beach caster style with tips pointing upwards to avoid weed, snags etc. or rod tips pointing level or downwards if using back leads or slack lines.

A Rod pod is also useful if your fishery utilizes wooden platforms because of shallow or reedy margins or if the fishery has rock hard banks like many of the gravel pits in the south of England. Another advantage of using a rod pod is the reduced time it takes to set up and pack away. On arrival at the lake the angler can take the rod pod straight out of the tackle bag with bite alarms and rear rests still attached from the last session and can be fishing in next to no time.

Early rod pods were made from a thick heavy stainless steel but many anglers today now prefer the lighter, plastic covered alloy models that manufacturers like Fox produce or the lightweight stainless steel models that Solar Tackle manufacture, although there are still companies that produce old school strong, heavy gauge stainless steel pods such as Matrix Innovations and Steve Neville which should last you a lifetime but are a heavy weight to carry to your swim if you have far to travel.

Fox are at the forefront of rod pod design and manufacture and produce a wide range of pods to suit all fishing situations and budgets. These range from the simple, A-pod with limited adjustments to the Eclipse, Quattro & Ranger pods with adjustable legs and central bars. You can expect to pay from around £45 for the lower end to around £150 for top end pods.

Solar Tackle has also been a major player in the rod pod market and their flagship product ‘The Solar Worldwide Pod’ being a firm favourite with many anglers who prefer the stainless look but is made from a lightweight stainless steel and weighs just 2.3kg.

If you are considering purchasing a rod pod you should think about the following factors:

Rod capacity – Most rod pods will come with a 3 rod buzzer bar but most can alternatively take a 2 or 4 rod buzzer bar as an option.

Bank side terrain – Are your banks steep? Then you may want to consider a rod pod with adjustable legs and frame giving you the ability to raise or lower the front/back ends so you can point the rods up or down.

Weight – Is your desired lake/swim a long way from the carp park? If so it may be a good idea to purchase a lighter weight pod.

Budget & Quality – Pods can vary in cost and quality so it pays to go with an established manufacturer. It will pay to do some research online to find the best deals available.

Fly Fishing Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow   by Sarah Stewart

There are many different kinds of Fly Fishing rods, reels, fly line and flies available today. From your bamboo poles of yesterday to your advance models of today. Fly Fishing has really evolved over the years.

In North America fishing anglers are thought to be the first to have used artificial flies for bass. Developed after fly patterns for trout and salmon fishing, patterns were adapted into specific flies for brass. Anglers fishing for brass developed the popper fly, which is still used today. Many early anglers developed new fly patterns and wrote about the sport, increasing the popularity of Fly Fishing in the United States as a whole. Fly Fishing peaked in the 1920′s in the northeast and Midwestern United States.

Fly tackle has evolved over the years as well. Lines were made of silk or horse hair. They were light enough to use with a long fly fishing rod allowing the wind to do most of the work. With the introduction of new woods such as greenheart and bamboo, it was possible to cast files into the wind on silk lines. American rod builders developed techniques for making bamboo rods. Thin stripes were cut and glued together to make a light, strong rod with a solid core, that was better than anything that proceeded them. In the 1950′s the development of fiberglass rods, synthetic Fly Lines and monofilament leaders revived the popularity of fly fishing in the United States.

Fly reels were improved as well. From the mechanically simple, a storage place for your fly line and backing to the more advance models of today. In order to tire the fish, anglers simply applied hand pressure to the rim of the spool, called palming the rim. Many modern reels still use this design with a clicking mechanism which makes both a noise and provides light spool braking to prevent overruns. Today fly reels are available in many different brands from Crystal River, Cortland, Scientific Angler and Super fly just to mention a few. Fly Rods are available from Hurricane Redbone, Cortland, Cahill, and more. Combos are available from Okuma, Super Fly, Crystal River and more.

Many different techniques are used in fly fishing. Fly fishing for trout is a very popular sport, and can be done using any technique and any general type of flies. Many of the techniques were first adapted from fishing for trout. There is a misconception that fly fishing for trout is done on the surface with dry flies. Trout feeds below the surface majority of the time and usually come to the surface only when there is a large bug hatch. The only exceptions are during the summer months and on smaller mountain streams.

Fishing in cold water. In order to deceive wary trout or reach deep runs of salmon anglers sometime need to wade into the current. Anglers will need sure footing and insulation from the cold water. Hip waders for shallow waters or chest waders for deeper water are best. The two main types are one piece boot foot waders or stocking foot waders that require wading shoes or boots.

Saltwater fly fishing is done with heavier tackle, both to handle the larger, more powerful fish and to cast larger heavier flies. Wet flies that look like bait fish, crabs, or poppers are used. Species caught include bonefish, redfish or red drum, tuna, striped brass, salmon and marlin. Offshore species are usually attracted to the boat by chumming with small baitfish and trolling back and forth in a large area.

Fly Fishing Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow will continue to evolve and be a sport enjoyed by all. Choosing a fly fishing rod, reel and the flies can be as exciting and informative as the fishing trip itself.
