FAQs

What is the reel spacing on the HeroX Rod Pods?

The reel spacing on both the 2-rod and 3-rod models is a consistent 17.5cm.

Can I use my existing bite alarms with this rod pod?

Yes, the rod pod is designed with standard 3/8 BSF threaded posts, compatible with most standard fishing alarms and rod rests.

How compact is the rod pod for transport?

The 2-rod model has transport dimensions of W51cm x H10cm x D18cm, and the 3-rod model is W57cm x H10cm x D18cm. It comes with a padded fold-out case for easy storage.

What is the main advantage of the goal post setup?

The goal post setup allows for use on softer ground where a traditional pod base might sink, offering flexibility in different fishing environments.

How much does the rod pod weigh?

The 2-rod model weighs 830g, and the 3-rod model weighs 990g.

Does the storage case allow alarms to stay attached?

Yes, the padded fold-out case is designed so you can keep your alarms and back rests attached to the buzz bars when the rod pod is stored.

Troubleshooting

Rod pod feels unstable.

Ensure all adjustment levers are securely tightened. Extend the central bar and legs fully for maximum stability on uneven ground. Consider using the goal post setup on softer ground if the pod base struggles.

Difficulty adjusting height or length.

Check for any dirt or debris obstructing the adjustment mechanisms. Gently clean the extendable sections and ensure they are dry before attempting to adjust.

Buzz bars do not sit level.

Verify that the central bar is fully extended and locked. Ensure the banksticks are at the same height setting on both sides.

Storage case zipper is stiff.

Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth to loosen it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unfold the padded storage case.
  2. Remove the rod pod and detach any attached alarms or back rests if desired for initial setup.
  3. Extend the central buzz bar section to the desired length.
  4. Adjust the height of the banksticks to achieve the correct rod angle.
  5. If using as a goal post setup, unscrew the buzz bars from the central base unit and insert the banksticks directly into the ground.

Compatibility:

Care:

  • After use, wipe down the aluminium components with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.
  • Ensure the pod is completely dry before storing it in its padded case to prevent corrosion.
  • Periodically check all adjustment points for smooth operation and clean any debris.
  • Store the rod pod in its provided case to protect the finish and components.
