New Tackle Manufacturer.

[Ian Alexander]

Hello Guys,

Just out of interest I read in tonight's Evening Chronicle about a new tackle manufacturer based here in the North East. I can't comment personaly on any of the companys products as I have not seen or used them but the website is available here SONIK SPORTS

Regards Ian.

 

[sless]

im sure they are ex employees from hardy/greys( IM/TA )that have started the company off
so it looks like there will be a lot of forein imported rods coming to the north east

 

[mark]

hope they are better made than the last few Greys offerings I've had!

It's Tony Andersons new venture.

10% discount?....I understand a NESA member is working there now

Anything to do with Tony will be top quality.

It's Tony Andersons new venture.

I think you'll find its Ian Mcormack's new venture and Tony is working with him unless of course they have formed a partnership.

I suspect most of the stuff coming from Sonik will be along the lines of Grey's tackle.

Ian will more than probably be using the contacts in China he made while working for Grey's.

I've seen the products and they are excellent

Paul, not wishing to get into an arguement over this but you would have to say what you have stated wether true or not as i would assume Sonik are going to advertise heavily in the magazine you work for.

theres no way I would ever buy a rod again with a Greys background after the treatment I received with a faulty fly rod I bought from them.
£300 and the cork just disintegrated after 6 months, they didnt want to know.

When - and only when you have seen the products

Have you tested them or had a fishing sesh with their gear matchman? I'm not taking the mick m8.

 

[Charlie_Thompson]

I might have Charlie - and I'm not taking the mick too...

I just thought you'd made a fishing judgement on how something looked without giving it a go.Looks are the least important element in a bit of kit IMO. If it's good and looks good then all the better though.

 

[Charlie_Thompson]

matchman

I don't have enough experience of a suitable range of kit to make an informed judgement on anything really, I do however know what I like and do listen to advice on forums.

I've just put a lighter in my mouth and tried to "light" it with a cigarette :red:

Did it work?

Even if it didn't we could always put it on a forum, write an article about it and say it did

Or say I seen some one do it and it did.

sweet monkeys - same old handbags...yes I'm drunk, yes it's going to be lumpy tomorrow and yes - i may be ill

A make or break scenario, keep us posted

Let's wait & see them tested & reviewed properly before making judgement. Whether or not theres a "North-East" rock rod in the range will probably swing it though, as well as warranties & after sales support (spares etc). If they're being built specifically for the UK market surely that's a good start. Who'd have though the RT axellerator would be a good rod purely by the name. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating" as some fat bloke said !.
