sonik black rod

[cod father]

Morning lads.got a message off friend of mine last night regarding his 14ft sonik black that he bought new about 6 month ago.it snapped while he was useing it yestrday n just wondering if anyone else has had an issue with theres.i
cheers

A number of rods have been reported as snapping. Unfortunately Sonik have got a very bad name. However there is a lifetime guarantee on their rods, so contact Sonik and they should replace broken part.

I knew theres had been a problem with earlier rods made by sonik but wasnt sure about the sonik blacks.he did mention it had lifetime garantee.cheers

there has been a lot of problems with some of the sonic range of sea rods
I would just stay clear of them myself after reading reports in the angling press
and on internet fishing sites.

If you pop up to the blyth warehouse I'm sure they will exchange the section for you I've done it before without a receipt, but don't use sonic now

I know there's been a lot of controversy about sonik rods, especially the black.
A friend of mine was given 1 by a well known tackle shop to put through its paces and try and snap it, it's the only rod he's used since getting it and it's still going strong chucking 6oz and bait 150-180 yards for fun. The feedback I got from him was "it''s actually a nice rod, I wouldn't buy 1 but I'm happy using it."
Personally the bad press I've seen about them I wouldn't buy 1 but I think for the price and the lifetime guarantee you can't go far wrong for the money.

I've owned a quite a few century and zziplex rods in the past. I bought a sonik black 14ft after I sold most my gear. I've used it in all the heavy ground by me and it does it no problem at all. 7oz leads and big baits are no problem and it rives fish through kelp easily.
