I wouldn't want to risk lifting a 9lb cod up with any rod lol wouldn't it of been better to hand ball it up instead ??

Don't think many rods are made for lifting 9lb cod mate haha... Unless its a RT Axe! But that's a different thread haha

Cant fault mine had it since they first came on the market its the 14ft 6-8oz, lifted an 8lb cod up the 3 shelves no problem, and still using it today.

Defo a few out there Davy where the carbon appears canny and if you get one they seem to be decent for the cash but they are not as common as the bad ones!

Spoke to a well known fishing shop (local) today for advice on
50lb class rods with a £150 budget.
He said don't waste that sort of money spend £50 on a sonik 30lb class one of the best rods around & he's had one himself for well over a year,
So must definately be inconsistency in the build

Or he is pushing to sell his poorly made soniks, why people try and defend them is beyond me, there rod might not of snapped but it will at some point.

Definately agree with that one

Cannot comment on their beachcasters as have never owned one. I have had a 12' sonik carp rod for 3 years though and find it handles well for casting and bringing in fish. When I first got it I thought the rod rings looked a bit femmer but they have been fine.

Its all I use for my lure fishing for bass off the shore now and my Greys 10' spinning rod is gathering dust.

I've had my Sonik SK4 30-50lb boat rod for all of a week and a half and only caught fish to 7 plus pounds. It is light and incredibly slim for its class, great fun with a fish on, so I hope it doesn't break!
