Solar A1 Aluminium Ground Pod 2 x 6″ Legs & 2 x 9″ Legs

Solar A1 Aluminium Ground Pod (Incl. 2 x 6″ & 2 x 9″ Legs)

The Solar A1 Aluminium Ground Pod is a premium, ultra-stable rod support system designed for anglers who need a reliable, “rock-solid” setup on any bankside terrain. While some general descriptions may refer to “solar panels,” in the angling world, this is a highly respected Carp Fishing Rod Pod. It is specifically engineered for situations where banksticks cannot be used, such as on hard ground, wooden platforms, or concrete towpaths.

This specific version features an increased height profile compared to the standard ground pod, supplied with 2 x 6-inch (approx. 15cm) and 2 x 9-inch (approx. 23cm) legs. This makes it the ideal choice for anglers who need to clear taller marginal grass or want a steeper rod angle when fishing at distance.

Key Specifications

Product Details & Performance Features

• High-Grade Aluminium Build: The A1 series is built to be lightweight enough for the mobile angler but strong enough to withstand the elements. The black anodized finish provides a sleek, modern look while protecting the pod from corrosion and glare.

• Extended Leg Options: By supplying 6-inch and 9-inch legs, Solar has made this pod even more versatile. You can set the pod perfectly level or use the 9-inch legs at the front to create a “tips-up” position, which is essential for keeping your line above surface weed or marginal obstacles.

• Solar Cam-Loc System: The central telescopic bar and the legs are secured with Solar’s famous Cam-Loc system. These knurled locking collars are easy to operate even in freezing conditions and provide a grip that ensures the pod will not slip or rattle once locked.

• Goalpost Stability: Unlike single-post pods that can twist when a fish runs at an angle, the A1 Ground Pod uses a goalpost-style upright system. This provides two points of contact for your buzz bars, ensuring your rods stay perfectly aligned even during the most violent “screaming” takes.

• Universal 3/8″ BSF Thread: The uprights are compatible with almost all buzz bars on the market. For the best performance and a seamless look, we recommend pairing this pod with Solar A1 or P1 buzz bars.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: This 6″ and 9″ leg version is the preferred choice for river anglers and big-lake specialists. The extra height provided by the 9-inch legs gives you just enough lift to clear the rod tips over tall reeds or high river banks. It’s a incredibly stable foundation that packs down small enough to fit inside a standard carryall.
