If you fish statically for carp, then your carp rods are likely resting on a rod pod fitted with a bite alarm. You can choose what you like. Some prefer to use separate banksticks and set their rods apart, others prefer to keep their rods close together and use a rod pod. With the help of a rod pod you can easily ensure that the rods are in the right position, by the distribution on the buzzer bars the rods are exactly at the same distance from each other. This way you will always have an overview and nothing will get mixed up.

Rod pods are available in many different versions, each with their own purpose. For example, there are rod pods with which you can put your rods with the tips up along the water's edge, which is ideal for fishing on rivers or other flowing water. Other pods are equipped with an adjustable tripod support and some rod pods have a very stable construction, allowing your rods to rest securely on the pods even on rough or uneven terrain. The material from which rod pods are manufactured also differs. Nowadays, more and more stainless steel rod pods are on the market. This material is a little heavier, but very durable.
