Sokin SK3 or Ron Thompson Accelerator

[CHOPPER]

Right, a question for you all!! Im back at chrimbo and fancy a second rod to back up my Kompressor with! I started fishing two rods when I was back in the summer, but my old Daiwa just aint pokey enough!

So I fancy one of the above to cope with the rough ground that I usually fish, but not looking to spend a fortune as I don't get to fish that often, but these looked decent for the price when I had a look in the summer! Also would like to load my 525 mag onto it and use it on the beaches.

Which one????

Cheers!

dont know much about the soniks but the Axellerator has always had good reports about them and if its a pokey rod your after then i dont think you could do much better for the asking price
just my opinion but im sure a few will agree

I have a sonik sk3,they are a very light rod and cast great,haven't had a problem at all,I only bought it as a spare while I got Ɣ century rebuilt! I've actualy got it up for sale on here. Have also heard the rt acc are a good rod too tho.

Argh just got an SK3 - what about guarantee on them??

 

[smoggiesimon]

depends if you bought it brand new or you got it second hand

I bought a new SK4, and registered it with Sonik. Am i right in thinking that if it was to snap, Sonik would replace it free of charge. I think i read that there would be a charge of £35 for a next day delivery. They give me a reference number to quote if anything happened to it. I've not had any bother, pretty pleased with it.

Hi mate,

Yes i was sent a 8 letter/number code. This is known as the 'Unique Rapidex Code'.
Still not sure if i would get the replacement rod free, suppose i could send Sonik an email.
