Hey guys hows the fishing going?

QoL - quality of life.

1) Some people (like me) hate when their rods are sticking out in all directions and different spacing. The rod pods put your rods perfectly next to eachother with the exact same space between them.

2) Ease of use. When not using a rod pod, you are sometimes not close enough to a rod when wanting to pick it up with 1, 2 or 3 depending on how you put them down. When using a rodpod, all 3 can always be picked up easily as long as you are close to the rodpod itself.

So just like in real life, you don't need a rod pod. But it does make everything just a little smoother :)

Hi.

I don't like the Rod POD at all. Because all Rods are way too close to eachother. Use 3 bronze bells and sometimes you don't even know which rod got a bite.

You have to stay near the Pod, to pick up the rods. With single Rod placement the distance is "wider" and you don't have to stand right behind the damn POD.

It has 1 advantage. It seems you can pick up the Rods way faster, which makes it easier to fish with Stick Rods.

That's why I have all 3 rods with different signals ;) As for having to be close to the pod well, all 3 of your rods are in front of you so no need to go anywhere so that distance in my opinion is not an issue.

Yes there are loads of different signals in the game, I always use electronic bleepers on my heavy rods and bells on the lighter ones. That way I instantly know what size of fish is causing the alarm!

It SUCKS on so many levels and has no real use other than to make things look nice.

But for some of us, that is the main use.

You don't have to use buy and use it. Personally though i have used mine constantly since it came out :)

its nice that they have been added to the game but i do like the single ones better :)
