The Trident Black Panther, example shown has full Grub Screw Locking fitted
Made from HD Carbon Fibre Tube
Trident Black Panther
The Trident Black Panther is basically identical to the Trident Panther below- except all the Shafts in the Chassis are made from heavy duty thick walled Carbon Fibre, and is normally fitted with 81/2" & 11" Carbon Defiant Bank Sticks as standard, aligning Alarms and Butt Grips could not be simpler, as you have 360 degree rotary adjustment with being mounted into a Bank Stick
Much lighter in weight with being Carbon Fibre than it's Titanium brother, made in widths up to 16" wide, the example shown is 16"/16" and weighs in at 1.4kg complete.

Extra Long Centre Shaft Option
The standard Centre Shaft is very long extending to 51", but there is also the option of a longer version that extends to over 5ft long.
Trident Panther - must be the most copied Rod Pod design in the history of fishing! But no copy comes close to the build quality and material specifications of the original Defiant MPS Trident design
Built to truly last a very long time
Trident Panther
The latest up-graded version of the original Trident design that's now over 25 years old. Fitted with 81/2" & 11" Titanium Defiant Bank Sticks as standard, in widths from 10" to 18" wide in exact Inch's, that's the measurement from centre to centre of the outer Bank Sticks, all six Bank Sticks are removable and height adjustable in the chassis independently. The removable Centre Shaft is now a full length one, which when extended allows your Rod's Butt Rings to be positioned easily on the inside of the Alarms, aligning Alarms and Butt Grips could not be simpler, as you have 360 degree rotary adjustment with being mounted into a Bank Stick
The six points of contact with the ground added with the large footprint make the Trident configuration unmatched when it comes to stability, you can even go further by simply pushing the middle back Bank Stick into the ground a little to become an instant Anchor, or fit a Stabilizer Kit which will also lock the whole set up in place on Platforms.
For transportation most people leave the end sections fully built up and store them in a Case or even inside their folded Chairs, meaning that only the Centre Shaft needs fitting which literally takes just a few seconds.
Closed Length = 31"
Extended Length = 51"
Weight is specification dependant but as a guideline - the widest version with all T/Screws fitted weighs just 2.4kg

Trident Tiger C Type
At last I’ve finally managed to develop one of the numerous stored proven designs that lack of time prevented me making for so long. Based on the original Trident Tiger first made in the early 2000's with its twin centre shaft design, providing three massive voids for both the Indicators to operate in and the Reels to locate in, so the name was retained but that’s about all that’s the same. There is a chance that the original Trident Tiger may be added to the range at some point.
Aesthetically it’s perfection with every shaft being in exactly the same axis of the Rods, even all the Thumb Screws are matched in size to the fittings they operate in, made from a mix of Titanium and Stainless Steel to keep the weight down.
Trident Tiger in folded transit mode
One of the main aims was to build a set up that could be set up or re-located in seconds, without removing a single thing, the “Fold-Up” design surpassed all expectations. By simply slackening the main chassis Thumb Nuts the whole centre section and both end sections fold into each other with the Alarms & Butt Rests still fitted (As shown with my own fitted) you can even leave your Indicators fitted if you wish. When folded Centre Shafts become the “Carrying Handle” with the centre section shrouded in Duplon which is exactly the same as you will find on top of the range Fishing Rods
A Rod Pod that's finally instantly portable

Titanium Centre shafts combined with Stainless Steel Cross Shafts for maximum rigidity
The Trident Tiger C Type can obviously still be used as six separate Bank Sticks when required, being fitted with 81/2" Titanium Defiant Bank Sticks at the front and 11" at the rear as standard.
Made in widths from 14" to 18" wide as standard, with custom 4 and 5 Rod versions being as wide as 24"
The weight depends on the build specifications, but around 3kg is a good average as a guide
Designed with plenty of room for Reels, Alarms and Indicators to preform their purpose unhindered with a lack of space
This is no “Child Sized Pod” either; this is a full man sized set up with a distance of 35” between the centres of the Alarms & Butt Rest positions, allowing the positioning of the Butt Ring on the inside of the Alarm with most Rods.
Why is this important- it's a well know fact that the wider apart the support points are the less the Rod can Flex/Wobble in a wind = false bleeps can be totally eradicated.
