The 2 rod pod I've cut down to be "Super" Compact and fits in Backpack.
Should look like the below.
Respooled the reels and setup the rods on it before i cut it down though...
Nice little 6ft setup, all compact and only need to bags for EVERYTHING....Rod Bag, Backpack, Chair, Beanie Mat & Bait Bucket with all PVA Bag goodies in 😁.
Well that works pretty well 13mm proper job sits perfectly tbh maybe slightly over weighted, so could use slightly smaller weight maybe but I think I've solved the problem for now.
Was going to put the pics in a view from a bivvy chair 🙄
Had a go at sea fishing with bait last time was in 1986 I remember the date as that was the year I finished fishing with a local club and had enough of the comps and big opens every Sunday
I used for the trip my 3 1/2 test rod and 8k reel with a shock leader 4 oz lead good up to a 5oz .. wow was getting great distances
Tough day on Pitsford 2 pike and one perch, sadly none for Ben this time. Had the perch on a ned worm crawling it along the bottom in prob 40ft drifting away drom the dam, missed another take and lost one the way up, tried lots more passes but lost them. Had a small jack on a 3-4 metre diving crank bait from the causeway and a better pike last knockings in a bay by the big dam on a chatterbait with a 5inch shad attached.
Lovely weather for the time of year, great day out!
