Pod for me. No need to worry how hard or soft the bank is like you do with sticks. I have a Cygnet Quicklock pod which is fairly light, and very easy to set up. The supplied zip bag is just about big enough to hold a small pair of banksticks too, so these also sit in there for the odd time they are required. The only time I'll use them is if I fancy popping a bait down the near margins where the line would be at right angles if the rod was left on the pod. Having said that, I don't mind at all if I have one fishing at 90 degrees to be honest. A lot of people will say you need your rod pointing towards your bait. Rubbish. If anything picks up my margin bait I'll know soon enough. Just got to remember to lift into it sideways rather than up!

I wish I could unsee that... somebody pass the brain bleach
