We first introduced Sonik to our stocks around 18 months ago and in that time they have established themselves as one of the best selling rod manufacturers both in store and online. Offering Carp, Sea and Fly fishing rods, in all budget groups, they offer something to suit the needs of all anglers.
One area where we have seen the most impact has been on the Sea fishing side, where there super range of SK and NCT beach and boat rods have really taken the market by storm, offering quality performance and great value for money.
Sea anglers who own or who have owned any of these models will be pleased to hear that for this year the range has been made even better, as upgraded versions of the SK3 and SK4 sea rods are now available!
The new ‘XTR series’ as its known, features improved blanks with the latest carbon materials to cast further and possess added durability.
Each rod features the custom Sonik sliding reel seat, has smooth Japanese shrink wrap handles and low-friction SiC or Fuji BMNAG guides for long casts. White tips enable low-light bite detection.
The rods are available in a 13ft 6in length for 4oz to 6oz and 14ft long for 5oz to 7oz, with powerful tips, making them ideal for dealing with rough ground and kelp.
The range covers most UK shore fishing requirements, from clean, mixed or rough-ground marks to piers and large estuaries.
