have got a sk3 14ft multi 5 to 7 oz and a sk3 13ft multi 4to 6 oz multi and are great rods good bite detection and the 14ft is good in the wind as the tip doesn't bounce as much as on more expensive rods

I heard that they are a bit thin walled and read at least one report of a busted rod.

heard only decent reports on them. in this months sea angler tournament casters got hold of them and casted upto 255 yards. and basically raved about them. sounds good to me big grin

Most Sea dangler reviews are paid for by the manufacturer. Ratface has done some real shockers in his time.

i've got 2 of these rods 4-6 oz fixed spool,i also know another fisherman who has 2,and we both agree that these are fantastic rods,improved distance straight away 100 yards no probs,i've not heard of anyone having trouble with busting them only good reports.highly reccomend well worth £100

I have just seen them in Sea Anglers latest publication and tempted by the 13ft SK3, but what else should i be considering?

Very True,you wont see a bad review in the mags because money talks!!, 12 months advertising revenue gone for telling the truth. suprise

.. Prefer to listen to peoples reviews on forums that aren,t linked to trade...

look on world sea fishing loads of complaints about tip breaking could just be a bad batch though.

like most brilliant,super,got to have one rods,TIME WILL TELL,sea angler only tests them on sandy beaches.

ive fished 40 yrs the only rods i would rate are;zziplex,conoflex,century and some greys,you can keep the rest.

only my opinion

Just purchased the Sonik Bass Road, lets hope it's the right choice lol for some flatty bashing

Tried to do a deal with Sonik on 3 rods but all they would offer is free shipping crying
