Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- New carp anglers. It covers the basic rod-pod jobs without burying you in complicated adjustments.
- Day-ticket and club-lake anglers. The three-rod layout and compact carry case make sense for regular short sessions and changing swims.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers fishing very uneven or extreme swims. The adjustment range is useful, but a more advanced pod may give you greater control.
- Big-water anglers wanting a bombproof long-range setup. Those anglers may prefer a heavier, more rigid pod designed for demanding conditions.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the NGT Quickfish Pod MK2-I
A first rod pod can feel like a bit of a minefield. There are buzz bars, uprights, legs, threads and enough knobs to make you wonder whether you’ve accidentally bought a small bit of scaffolding. The NGT Quickfish Pod MK2-I keeps that lot nicely under control.
This is a three-rod pod aimed squarely at new anglers. It’s lightweight, fairly simple to understand and gives you the basic platform needed to get three carp rods fishing neatly. No daft bells and whistles. No overcomplicated frame to assemble while the fish are having it in the next swim.
The main bar adjusts from 60cm to 112cm, so you can make the pod compact for a tighter setup or open it out when you need a wider footprint. That’s handy on ordinary lake swims where you’re trying to keep the rods together without having the reels and alarms bunched up like sardines.
Underneath, four extendable legs give you some useful height control. They run from 27cm to 38cm, which is enough to help level the pod on typical banks and get the rods sitting how you want them. It won’t turn a cliff edge into a billiard table, but for normal swims it gives you room to play with.
The pod comes with two 35cm buzz bars and four buzz-bar uprights. Those uprights allow the height of the buzz bars to be adjusted, so you can keep the rod tips low when fishing towards a near margin, or raise things a touch when the swim and line angles call for it.
That flexibility matters more than it might sound. A pod isn’t just there to make the rods look tidy. You want the alarms lined up, the reels sitting comfortably and the line leaving the tips without awkward angles. Get the basic positioning right and the whole setup feels less clumsy on the bank.
The lightweight construction should appeal if you’re walking to swims or carrying a fair bit of kit already. A rod pod can soon become one more awkward thing under your arm, especially when you’re also lugging a chair, net, bucket and tackle bag. Keeping the pod reasonably easy to move is a proper bonus.
There’s a carry case included too, which is dead handy for keeping the bars, uprights and legs together. That means less chance of losing a small fitting in the boot or finding one vital bit has vanished into the depths of your tackle cupboard. We’ve all been there, mate.
As an entry-level pod, the Quickfish Pod MK2-I is best viewed as a sensible starting point rather than an all-singing, all-dancing specialist system. If you fish fairly standard swims and want three rods presented neatly, it does the job without a load of faff. If you regularly fish steep banks, huge reservoirs or need maximum rigidity, a more advanced pod may suit better.
For a new angler building a first setup, though, the appeal is obvious. You get the key adjustments, a three-rod layout and storage in one straightforward package. Set it up at home once or twice, and you’ll be ready to get on the bank, clip up and concentrate on finding a bite-time rather than wrestling with your gear.

Our take
The angle
This is all about keeping the barrier to entry low. You get the essentials for three rods without a complicated frame or a bag full of bits you’ll spend half the session trying to understand.
The single sliding main bar and adjustable legs give you enough flexibility for most straightforward swims. Set the buzz bars, level the pod, clip up and get fishing.
Closer look
A straightforward three-rod platform
The Quickfish Pod MK2-I is built around a single adjustable main bar. It extends from 60cm to 112cm, giving you a useful spread of sizes for compact or more open rod layouts.
Four adjustable legs run from 27cm to 38cm. Add the two 35cm buzz bars and four height-adjustable uprights, and you’ve got enough movement to level the setup and position your rods sensibly on most regular lake swims.
Worth knowing. Lay all the parts out before your first session and familiarise yourself with the threads and adjustments. A couple of practice builds at home can save a proper faff when the rods are off.
Who it suits
A tidy first step into pod fishing
This pod makes most sense for new carp anglers, occasional fishers and anyone who wants a simple three-rod setup for day-ticket or club waters. The lightweight build and carry case are useful when you’re moving swims or carrying plenty of other kit.
It’s less of a natural fit for anglers who fish extreme terrain, very long-range venues or hard-hit waters where a heavier, more specialised pod brings extra rigidity and adjustment.
Worth knowing. Use the leg adjustment to get the pod level first, then set the buzz-bar height and finally place the rods. That order keeps the setup much less fiddly.
FAQs in full
The useful stuff before you buy
Can it hold three rods? Yes. It’s designed for three rods and includes the matching buzz bars and uprights needed for that layout.
Does it work on uneven ground? The four extendable legs and adjustable uprights give you useful control on ordinary uneven banks. For seriously steep or awkward swims, a more advanced pod may offer a better range.
Is it easy to carry? The lightweight construction and supplied carry case make it a practical option for mobile anglers and short sessions.
