A Fishing Tackle Evaluation of the Sonik SKS Carp Rod

By Ronald Gored


We carp anglers are teh elites of the fishing world. With a story that goes back a thousand of years, the type of fish that we stalk is one of the hardest to catch. Many Asian cultures even look at the carp as sacred fishes. There is a story in ancient Chinese mythology that connects this fish with dragons, saying that if a carp leaps over a structure called the Dragon's gate, it will turn into a dragon. The place of this rumored Dragon's gate is the top of the waterfall which cascades its waters down from a steep mountain. This legend is proof of the bravery and strength of the carp. The dragon, with its great and benevolent power, is a very important symbol for the Chinese. A respectable adversary indeed! So, whenever I plan to go angling for carp, I always make sure that I bring the best fishing tackle I have. My favorite is my Sonik SKS rod. My reasons are provided below.

Fishing Tackle: Sonik SKS Carp Rod's Major Features

This rod is packed with premium features despite of having a reasonable price of 65 British Pounds. Expert and well-informed anglers are aware of the fact that this model has a following of its own. I always find myself reaching for it because of its solid build and forward-looking design. The elegant matte finish of its super-slim high modulus carbon blank also makes it attractive as well. Though a rods looks is not something that important for me, I have to say that this one has an exceptionally attractive look that complements its sound design. This model has a good enough backbone that promises that you will have accurate casts. I also like the soft tip of this model which gives me the option of safely reeling a fish close in. Other features of this model are its Duplon made abbreviated handle that provides sure grip and lightweight SIC guides. Its butt cap and handle bears their own laser etching. A gunmetal hood and collar comes with its graphite reel seat. This rod is as superb looking as it feels!

More Information about the SKS Carp Rod Fishing Tackle

Sonik's lifetime rod replacementh warranty is another feature that I truly love about this fishing tackle. In addition to this, its DPS graphite reel seat is a feature that is common among more expensive rods than this one. This rod costs around 65 British Pounds but depending on its features and if there are special offers, it can be bought in the internet for as low as 50 British Pounds. Don't let yourself be fooled by its low price, though. The quality of this rod can be compared to premium models despite of only having an entry-level price. The SKS line is relatively new in the range of carp fishing tackle from Sonik, but many anglers already consider it as their favorite. Its subtle power makes it very enjoyable to cast and it also allows great control when playing fish because of its soft tip. The remarkable recovery speed of its tip is also something I find quite appealing.

For the ultimate in carp fishing tackle, the Sonik SKS rod merits a serious look.
