Wallys Cast happened to mention that he thought he could build one fairly easily. I immediately flipped into what I call my “cheeky sod” mode and asked him if he would be willing to have a go for me. Just over 2 weeks later, the Walgeeco Rod Pod arrived. I’m a huge fan of what they like to call up-cycling these days but I think what Wal made for me is a work of art. I haven’t had a chance to use the rest yet but I’m convinced it’s going to be perfect. I should add that there is a hole drilled in the spiked end to allow for a tent peg to secure it if required. Thanks Wal!
For scale, the photographs below show the rest with the 8 foot combination of my Milwards Services travel rod (restored by Wal) and a Milwards Floatcraft.
