If you're interested in maybe a Sonik give them a ring and have a look at the range of rods at their warehouse in Blyth...they'll be very helpful I can guarantee

i have an axcellerator and a grxs both are good rods both for different reasons, the axcellerator is a great rock rod but has bad bite detection due to its stiff nature that said it will drag any fish in and i often use an 8oz weight which it has no problems with. the grxs is a more forgiving rod with good bite detection i have had mine a year now and have no fears about using bullying tactics with fish a much underated rod and well worth a look, i would buy either one of these rods again, hope this helps

Its defanetaly a good shout to have a look for a used century rod, ive got 2 and i swear by them, got a tip tornado for all round fishing and a Kompressor ss for the heavier stuff, both used with 525's.
Personally i would steer clear of the greys grxs, i baught one a few years back and i hated it, like trying to cast a cheese string imho

Hi a.g. and welcome to NESA, if you have transport have a look around as many tackle shops as you can and don't be in a hurry to buy. The rod will probably be with you for quite a while so make sure you get the right one.

Cheers again.

thanks for all the helpfull replies.The more i read about the sonik rods the more i am tempted .It would have to be the sk3 13ft but wold u go for the 4-6oz or 5-7oz.bearing in mind i dont fish the rocks or kelp[yet]but i would still like to blast out a 6oz lead without fear of overloading the rod.

[Charlton]

go along to the factory mate and try them out, they will be happy to see you

[biglugs]

Sk3 13ft will be ideal for price they were £100 from nets i paid £110 for my 14ft and you get lifetime rod replacement warranty with them ,the only thing i dont like about them is the reel seat they can slip a bit if ya dont tighten them right up fully ,am thinkin of changing it for a penn lock slider one .

Give greys a ring they may have some ex demo rods for sale at the factory shop in Alnwick.

I have a few second hand rods for sale if your interested send me a pm

cheers
