Product Details and Uses

Solar P1 Stainless Croc Pod (Wide Version)

The Return of a Legend: Precision, Stability, and Style.

At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that some designs are simply timeless. The original “Croc” pod of the 90s was a cult classic, and for 2025, Solar Tackle has brought it back with a vengeance. Re-engineered using state-of-the-art 3D CAD technology, the Solar P1 Croc Pod Wide is meaner, leaner, and more stable than ever before.

This isn’t just a rod rest; it’s a piece of British-made engineering. Crafted from high-grade stainless steel with subtle P1 carbon detailing, it features a unique “ground-hugging” low profile. The Wide version is specifically designed for anglers who prefer a broader stance for their rods or use larger big-pit reels, providing a rock-solid platform that won’t budge even during the most aggressive takes.

Key Performance Features

Maximum Rigidity: Unlike the original, the new P1 Croc features twin main bars to eliminate twist and single upright components for a much stronger, reinforced chassis.
Wider Stance: The “Wide” bridge bars (12″ rear/14″ front) offer more room between your reels, perfect for modern big-pit setups and providing a more stable footprint on the bank.
Quick Adaptation: Fitted with semi-quick-release 3/8 BSF thread fittings. This allows you to swap the included “Stubby” legs for longer banksticks in seconds if you need to fish “tips-up.“
Independent Leg Adjustment: The World Wide style ILAS system allows you to set each leg at a different angle—essential for uneven, rocky, or steep terrain.
All-Weather Grip: Features Solar’s “Super Grip” adjustment collars, designed to be easy to tighten or loosen even when your hands are freezing and wet.

Where to Use the P1 Croc Pod Wide

This pod is a versatile workhorse designed for the serious specialist:

Exposed, Windy Points: The twin-bar construction and wide footprint make this one of the most stable pods on the market. It won’t vibrate or tip when the wind is howling across a large inland sea.
Hard Ground & Wood Platforms: When you can’t get banksticks into the ground, the Croc Pod provides a “ground-hugging” setup that feels as solid as if it were bolted down.
Large European Venues: If you are tackling big waters where you need to span the main bar over a meter to accommodate 13ft rods and big-pit reels, the Wide version handles the weight and length effortlessly.
Steep, Uneven Banks: Use the ILAS system to kick the front legs out wide and low while keeping the back legs tucked in, ensuring your rods stay level on the most awkward swims
