I use a Korum 2 rod myself and it just pops into the back pocket on that with the cups and bars stashed in the small bankstick pocket.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_YVN3aPX_gzQ/RfWBHB1c0lI/AAAAAAAAABg/XYpBGDMJZcY/s1600-h/tbr+2+collapsed.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_YVN3aPX_gzQ/RfWBHB1c0lI/AAAAAAAAABg/XYpBGDMJZcY/s400/tbr+2+collapsed.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5041077315662828114" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_YVN3aPX_gzQ/RfLgVx1c0dI/AAAAAAAAAAU/OXJBNSH3N6w/s1600-h/tbr2+inline+cups+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_YVN3aPX_gzQ/RfLgVx1c0dI/AAAAAAAAAAU/OXJBNSH3N6w/s400/tbr2+inline+cups+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5040337597740405202" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />the cups can be turned inline to keep them out of the way if they are not required on a session, something i do when i'm fishing the tips low to the water, you don't need to take them off . . . . .<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_YVN3aPX_gzQ/RfWAxh1c0kI/AAAAAAAAABY/qAwWRcMr38A/s1600-h/tbr2+inline+cups+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_YVN3aPX_gzQ/RfWAxh1c0kI/AAAAAAAAABY/qAwWRcMr38A/s400/tbr2+inline+cups+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5041076946295640642" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_YVN3aPX_gzQ/RfWB7x1c0oI/AAAAAAAAAB4/iFQUVyNbfk4/s1600-h/trb2+with+cups+inline.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_YVN3aPX_gzQ/RfWB7x1c0oI/AAAAAAAAAB4/iFQUVyNbfk4/s400/trb2+with+cups+inline.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5041078221900927618" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The stability of the pod is mainly down to the fact unlike the only other barbel rest on the market, the top bar is solid and cannot move - giving you ultra reliable stability. All the legs have been tweaked so it's virtually impossible for them to slip or twist when assembled and the pod gives you great confidence that it's going to stay set up without fail throughout you session.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_YVN3aPX_gzQ/RfLhwx1c0fI/AAAAAAAAAAk/fsKYRySZTJc/s1600-h/top+block+close+up.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_YVN3aPX_gzQ/RfLhwx1c0fI/AAAAAAAAAAk/fsKYRySZTJc/s400/top+block+close+up.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5040339161108500978" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Close up of the top block showing the top bar clamped up solid. . . . . . . . .<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_YVN3aPX_gzQ/RfLiGR1c0gI/AAAAAAAAAAs/LJNNIm5F5ZI/s1600-h/SPA50529.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_YVN3aPX_gzQ/RfLiGR1c0gI/AAAAAAAAAAs/LJNNIm5F5ZI/s400/SPA50529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5040339530475688450" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This shows the pod set up with the swing rests i use myself, again in use these are solid and don't let you down.
