Why not contact Nash directly and see if they have spares or can help identify it?

I've played & played with fishing sticks with pop up rigs as I'm a big fan of stick fishing. Just when I thought I had it cracked how to set it up to make sure it sat perfectly every time... it wouldn't ! wafters would be the way I would go if you wanted something other than a bottom bait with a stick.

I have recently returned myself thoe i did have all my old gear stashed away in the loft ... So far i have brought Fox EOS 10000 reels x2 £50 each ... i dont think you will find a better reel on the market at this price ... not to be confuse with the Fox FS 10000s they were utter [censored]e. Mk2 esp floater rod ... £89 ... if you like surface fishing this rod at 2.5lb test is the mutts nutts the blank and balance of this rod is something else and its deffo the best rod i have ever used. Fox x-pod £ 120 ... goal post rod pod ... small light weight and setup up in secs abit short if im telling the truth but nice for tight swims the buzz bars are angled to kick the rods away from eachother not the cheapest bit of kit but can be found on ebay for £60-80. Fox range master throwing stick £20 ... can't rate it because i hate it and cannot for the life of me master a throwing stick some people have just got it but most of the time i might as well be fishing for the rats on the island. That leads me onto the korda katapult boilie pouch £17 ... i like it and im pretty accurate with it and its alot better than the fox powerguard that i recently threw in the bin. Korum 5 rod quiver ... £25-30 great if your on a budget and wanna travel light. TF gear ... check ebay they do everything from boilie glug pots ... scale covers to rig boxes they pretty much cover everything in the bits and bobs department and prices are very reasonable.

Tbh the buzz bars look way to close if your using big reels like the fox 11s no way will 3 of them sit side by side ... if you are using 2 rods it should be fine ... another tip if using 2 rods use the legs as the bank sticks ... if they are adjustable even better you can then set your rod up on uneven banks. Tbh i do preferr the goalpost type alot more stiffer in the past using a triangle pod in strong winds it was giving me false one noters out the alarms , mine was cheap thoe and i got it when i first started carping before golaposts come about. One thing was my buzz bars were twice the lenght of yours mabey the reason why they desinged them so short to stop them flapping about in the wind. Just use it mate and if your happy and it does you a season well then you saved some money that could go towards a nice stainless one in the future ... im still and always adding bits i need.

It's all personal preference on everything we buy & use Gary eh . Heard a little interesting info today Gaz on a lake I know you have fished in the past .... might get the juices going & somewhere for you to target while your pit has its close season. Will pm you

Personally I like mine all neat and tidy, I can not stand the mess of single stick fishing. But that's just personal preference It's what I'm used to, back leads help, I've never had to much of a problem using this set up or a pod.

As i mentioned in an earlier post i prefer to use bank sticks or the buzz bars on just bank sticks not a pod. Ive had to lay a rod down while playing a fish, but cant see how that would be any different using bank sticks. Ive never had any of the issues mentioned and i used to a pod all the time. The reason for my change to stick/buzz bars on sticks is that there are cats up to 100lb ion the lake, while ive never had any issues with a pod moving on a take i just feel better having my kit pushed into the ground.

I do like to get the rods pointing in the general direction of where i'm fishing , on a pod or bank sticks and buzz bars your limited by the angle , as for getting tangled up with your other lines its for this very reason I only fish two rods , with three I just know how much of a mess I would be in !! with the rest of the anglers having a right old laugh ..... dave

I did say "most".

If it gets frantic tip the rods next door butts-up and rod tips in the water on the bottom and play the fish over them. We have a 1 rod rule where I am but occasionally banksticks are within a length of each other, and pods are helpfull sometimes, and in either case ditching the adjacent rods usually averts trouble. The nights when it was sorting out tangles time after time between all these mad fish are what I call the good old days now.

Absolutely. Not my "ideal" type of pod, I prefer the ones with a "goalpost" type leg set up, but it will be fine. I never used to get tangled on one of these.....

From the picture it would seem the buzz bars are extendable , it will be alright to use.

Just to report, caught my first two carp on the multi rig this evening, a 13lb Mirror and a 15lb Mirror, along with a couple of silver fish too. All were nailed perfectly in the bottom lip and fell to a Nash Citruz popup. This has given me great confidence!!!

Thank you everybody and the advice I have received not shown on this thread I have most of a set of gear now just waiting on permits and bait then a day off and back to the bank..

Whiplash is awful stuff! I used it for pike fishing and it is tangle city. It tangles round an anti-tangle boom, and the hook and uptrace would both get caught above the float.
