Any chance you were given the matching spod rod to try as well. I have the Vader x rs rods and spod rod but would like something a bit more up to the job and was hoping these were the tool to go for but for me would depend on the ability of the spod rod for me.
why are the rods in the water ...........just sold my vader x 3 x 12ft 3,5tc rods and 3 matching reels ,now got 3 10ft 3.5tc extractors and 3 matching reels ...seeing these i might go back to 12ft rods or just have them as another set ....................massive sonik fan .............nearly bought Delkim alarms but got Gizmo 2 instead
I’ve known people who have the sonik reels and there great when there new but don’t seem to last long term, rods are good I’ve put mine over 200 yards and they seem to stand up to it they just get abit soft after a while
Let’s hope their quality service checks are better on these rods! I had 3 lots of Soniks Vader rs rods- from 2 different shops- that All had numerous bad scratches and marks all over them and was told they were straight outta the cloth bags that came straight from the factory as well as ones I eventually was happy with I later found one of the line clips was completely stuck to the rod! 🤦🏻♂️
Hello, if anyone know: wich SONIK MODEL rod is slimest: sk47 or gravity XFW??? P.s i have "SKS BLACK" rods and i woud like to buy new slim rods like my rods, or slimer then mine. So wich model is slimest? Advice me plz. Thanks
@@yetifanukI agree, it is. I was being a bit sarcastic though comparing the distance to Joe's slight exaggeration at 00:45 where he says "Previously I've caught carp at 280 metres away..." :)
I notice whenever I look on Facebook marketplace place, there is always so much sonik gear for sale and that always put me off. Why is everyone selling there sonik gear
I guess because they are cheap a lot of beginners start on them and they either give up because its not for them or they upgrade to something better. I've seen many people use the sonik rods and when I've asked to use them they feel decent. The reels on the other hand are shocking, stay away from those!
Them sonik reels sound like a bag of spanner 😂 the sonik rods are ok but sonik have never obtained a decent Chinese reel company to make them reels yet.
I like the information you put out in your vids. But when your promoting a products casting distance and each time you start to cast you edit out the shot of it landing in the water. That's some seriously lame stuff bro. Don't promote products then edit out the shots showing the viewer the real results. Kind of like false advertising! I and so many other now won't buy products from reviewers that do this kind of stuff on UA-cam.
Sonik are great maybe the cheaper brand out there but as good as Nash and fox I've got the sonik extractor 10fts and the extractor reels the reels have the quick release arm and they are fantastic fox,Nash,lots of money gear don't catch fish then angler does it's simple really
Some lads seem to think sonik is a cheap brand when in reality they do some of the best rods in the game. The sk4 is legendary now
95% of my gear WAS Sonik before I sold all my gear, Sonik was my go to brand for all my gear. Customer service 2nd to none.
Agreed sk4s were the best rods i ever had and ive had a fair few custom armalites over the years
If you know you know Sonik= 💩
Still got my sks ones still going strong used as spare rods still or a 3rd rod
I agree, SONIK do fantastic rods, but their reels really are dogshit!
Nice little session there Joe & a catfish to boot.
Oh yeah the rods & reels look good for the money.
Can new avidcarp revolve rods cast like this

Beautiful lake . Is it open access?
The lake is called shearwater and is in Wiltshire. It is a day ticket on the go catch app 👍
I have been using sk4 3 .25lb since they first came out they are a brilliant rod.
Big bream caught at long range. Match fishers wet dream and the presenter is like "ehhh, not what i wanted". lol Priceless
Love my 10ft 3.25tc corkhandle insurgent rods matched with the fox 10000xcs
What was the name of the lake u was fishing, great video again
Finch Farm near Maidenhead
Looks like Shearwater to me 🤔
Shearwater👌🏻

Starting at £69.99 for the rods....£69.99 for the reels
why do the reels sound like that?
Mate 25 wraps is long range
So is "280 metres" IMHO 00:45 ;)
Not sure what you mean, i was agreeing that 25 wraps (100yards)is a long chuck

Coulda worn a Sonik T-shirt Joe instead of a Fox one ;) ha ha

I only see the cheap stuff to be fair normally being sold by lads who have just started but then sold up after a few blanks.

Love sonik gear but theu should just give up making reels ! Why they so loud !?
Give it a month or 2 and they will be half the rrp like all there other products

Those reels sound bloody awful 😂
I think I’d rather listen to my parents have sex than those reels
That set up looked really sturdy not 😂😂😂
Soniks reputation in the reel industry can not be saved. They've been so bad in the past.
Which reels?
Got the GS 5000s for my dwarfs what utter rubbish,sonik are a decent brand but the GS 5000s are terribly built.
Sonik are great maybe the cheaper brand out there but as good as Nash and fox I've got the sonik extractor 10fts and the extractor reels the reels have the quick release arm and they are fantastic fox,Nash,lots of money gear don't catch fish then angler does it's simple really
