I've got the Bog Pod. I think it is the better built of the 2 but it takes awhile to adjust it from a sitting to standing lengths. The trigger stick is much faster to adjust. A buddy of mine that guides and uses them almost everyday has switched to the Bog Pod. He said he went through 3 trigger sticks in 2 years. When I bought mine, I went Bog Pod because google revealed allot of quality complaints with the trigger stick. Those may have been resolved. I would probably buy the trigger stick if I had to do it over again. I don't use it enough to wear it out and it is allot easier to use.
