The very first product made by Defiant MPS was the "Trident MPS" (Multi-purpose System)  way back in the 1990's, it's proven to have become one of the most adaptable, user friendly, reliable  bits of kit ever made for Rod support.  It's hardly changed from the original concept, but it's 2025 now and things have moved on dramatically from those days, there's was no "Space age Metals" like Titanium available to anyone other than the military back then. Luckily it's now readily available for those who are prepared to pay the price for it and have the knowledge and patience to work with it.

The latest version of the Trident Panther incorporates an intensive inclusion of Titanium in the build, all the inner and outer shafts are Titanium, if fitted with "Total Titanium Bank Sticks - it's self explanatory that just about all of it is made from Titanium, only the fittings are made from Stainless Steel - for two reason: the sheer cost and the need to add a little bit of weight to aide stability.  Obviously all six Bank Sticks can be removed at will and used as single Bank Sticks, but also another big advantage of using Bank Sticks in a Chassis to Alarm alignment - with the Bank Sticks in-built 360 degree of rotation, you can position as you require instantly without having to mess around.

There are also the build options of having Thumb Screws fitted or flush fit Grub Screw locking at no extra cost, in both the Chassis and the Bank Sticks. 

Widths: can be made from 10" wide to 18" wide in exact 1" increments, both end can be the same, or be different to in-build a "splay" when the Rods are fitted.

Height: fitted with 81/2" Bank Sticks at the front and 11" at the Back as standard (That's the closed length of the Bank Sticks stated) The difference in height is to allow for the average height of when a bite Alarm is fitted. You have the option of "Total Titanium" or "Dreadnought" Type Bank Sticks fitted at no extra charge.

Length: The brand new designed Centre Shaft utilised a exact fit solid Titanium Inner Shaft this has allowed for maximum length adjustment without adding any extra weight to the Chassis.

              Closed Length = 29"

Fully extended Length = 50"

~ Note: the distance between the Centre to Centre of the Bank Sticks front to back

For those who wish to place their Rod's Butt Rings on the inside of the Alarm's for safety and to enhance Indication, this is easily possible now.

Weight: the example shown is 12"/12" wide and fitted with Total Titanium Bank Sticks and weighs just 1.7 kg all in.

Note: there is an example of a 2 Rod Trident Panther in the Custom Gear section, the demand for 2 Rod versions of anything is very low, but can be made at request.
