Greys and sonik rods

[fish fingers]

Why do they just whack the high build on like this is thier no quality control even in the foreign countries

[09gmarsh2009]

I had a sk3 and the high build stuff looked like it had been put on with a catapult!!! Problys a result of mass production!!

[lumpsucker]

Looks like it hasn't been turned often or long enough while it dried. Are the other rings the same, or just that one?

[fish fingers]

The whole rod even turning by hand could get a better result than that to much on in my opinion like you say mass production

I got a rod from Conoflex a few years back, a Gamma 3; the biggest ring was 20 degrees out of alignment with the rest - which weren't particularly straight either. On the quiver tips, 7 of the rings were completely blocked with high-build & I had to drill them out. I think they had Stevie Wonder in for some work experience when they built mine!!

It's bad enough visually like that but after a few decent fish or locking the rod up when pulling from snags the high build cracks.

Always find this with greys rods... Lets them down massively

[marco1967]

they use the cheapest of rings on some models also, 1 fall and the inserts smash out . big dissapointment .

[lambengland]

I think sonik use cheaper rings on most rods but almost all greys are built with genuine alconites
