Trakker T1 3 Rod Pod | Lightweight & Ultra-Stable Carp Setup

For the mobile angler who refuses to sacrifice stability for weight, the Trakker T1 3 Rod Pod is the ultimate solution. At Gerrys Fishing, we know that modern carp angling often requires a best of both worlds approachgear that is light enough to carry on a long trek but sturdy enough to withstand a screaming take on a solid gravel bar.

The T1 pod is built around a super-stable goal-post style buzz bar and bankstick configuration. Constructed from high-grade, black anodised aluminium, it offers a sleek, understated look while remaining incredibly durable. One of its standout features is its modularity; the buzz bars and sticks can be removed and used as a standard goal-post setup on soft ground, or combined with the central frame for a rock-solid pod on platforms or hard standings.

At just 1.1kg, it is one of the lightest pods in its class, yet the adjustable height and length mean it can be tailored to suit almost any swim. Whether you are fishing tips up over marginal weeds or tips down in the wind, the T1 provides a secure foundation for your rods and alarms.

Pro Tip from the Gerrys Team

Because the T1 uses a goal-post design, you can achieve perfect alignment every time. When setting up on uneven ground, adjust the front legs slightly higher than the back. This shifts the center of gravity and ensures that even during a powerful drop-back or a violent side-take, your pod remains planted. Also, keep the threads cleana tiny drop of multi-purpose oil on the thumb screws once a season will keep the anodised finish moving smoothly for years.

Example of Where to Use

The Trakker T1 Pod is the Swiss Army Knife of rod supports. It is specifically designed for:

• Wooden Platforms: Ideal for commercial style lakes or established syndicates where banksticks cannot be pushed into the ground.

• Hard/Frozen Ground: Perfect for winter sessions when the bank is like concrete.

• Versatile Sessions: Use the full pod on a canal towpath in the morning, then strip it down to just the banksticks and buzz bars for a quick stalk in the afternoon on softer grass.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I use this pod for 2 rods instead of 3?

Yes, while it is designed for a 3-rod setup, you can easily fish two rods on the outer or central positions. The 13 front and 12 rear widths provide a nice fan to your rod tips, keeping them separated even when using large big-pit reels.

Is it easy to pack away?

Extremely. The T1 is designed for the roving angler. It breaks down into a very flat profile and fits into the included multi-compartment bag, which protects the aluminium from clinking together and scratching during transport.

Will my alarms fit the threads?

The T1 uses a universal 3/8 BSF thread, which is the industry standard. It will perfectly accommodate all popular alarms from brands like Delkim, Neville, and Fox.

Does it come with banksticks?

Yes, the T1 is a complete system. It includes the central frame, four adjustable banksticks, and the front and rear buzz bars. You just need to add your alarms and butt rests!
