I was seriously thinking about buying 3 Sonik SK4 carp rods until I went into a tackle shop in Bicester today. I must admit that they do look and feel good, but was disappointed to hear that it is EXACTLY the same blank as the Greys Prodigy Plus. The only difference is in the fittings. Its obvious when you look, but the shop assistant confirmed this by saying the Sonik rep said it was true.
Yes, they do offer three for the price of two which may seem good value but why all the hype about a new company with exclusive high quality gear when all they seem to have done is copy Greys? This is all too common - you only have to look at the Svendsen Group (Okuma, Pro Logic Scierra etc who also make the TF Gear range.
The odd thing is that the prices vary hugely between one name and another even when the product is the same. the SK4 costs £10 more than the Greys Prodigy Plus.
