Sonik fly rods

[rod-the-cod]

Bought the sk4 wf 7-8 9 and 1/2 feet last week from the reservoir. Used it all day but found it was very stiff.
Thought about getting the sk3 wf 7-8 9 and 1/2 feet for last few days but just swopped the SK4 for a Greys. Same size and wf and price.
Bit dismayed when i took off the plastic packaging on the base of the rod MADE IN CHINA.?. Whats all that about.
Mick-----am i gonna regret not getting the sk3 which was agood £30 cheaper.

Yes, Sonic rods are made in China, as are their reels

Saying that abu is made in china now.

I thought sonic and greys were made in the likes of quaint back street tackle shops in the old towns like Amble.

Reality check needed.

greys used to be made in alnwick and they were goiod rods then they started using cheap rods from china .. they are still people that like the new breed of greys rods .. there clothing and rig wallets are good quality but two many snapages for me to buy a rod from them...
