    You should do a comparison on several different makes of retractable rods.

      @@Yosser70 Well yeah. Would just be nice if their title wasn't quite so disingenuous stating "Which retractable carp rods are best?" It should have been something like "Are these the best retractable carp rods?" then it wouldn't be such a scabby title.

    Good product vlog with some great information, when i saw the reels that you were using i thought that they look like great reels, then i looked them up on the web OMG at £375 each that is where they can stay.
    For two rod's and two reels = £890 you have got to be having a laugh, You say that these rods pack down so that you can fit them in your car boot for more convenience, i don't find £890 convenient in any way.
    Your title says Which retractable carp rods are best? so you are saying that these are the best with no comparison to any other rods, that a great unbiased video that you made!!!!

    Phenomenal rods. I got 3 10ft 3.5lb for £200 which was the price on one scope. Caught fish to 44lb 8oz on them, great playing action. I was casting 5oz solid bags which is possibly not what they were designed for but coped with it. Coupled with my castizms (older version of those whiskers) they are very well balanced. The infinity 3 rod hold-all is good for £50 too.

    I have three of the custom ones that Daiwa did for Total Fishing Tackle. Nicer looking, better guides, nice red details.
    It’s the 3lb versions and they are really rather nice.
    My only complaint is that all three are slightly different lengths when extended.

  • @T5Zplayer

    Have been using mine this season as my main carp/commercial rod. Originally bought beacause I needed someting to carry on my bike as summer cycling to the local river and lakes where I live is easy. Also meant I could be more mobile. It plays everything from 2 to 15lb with no surpries, very responsive and not heavy when playing for longer periods. So for the price it has been great value. Yes there are other rods, but for the price it does the job. This vid helped me make that decision. I use a small Daiwa Ninja or Shimano depending on which reel I forgot to bring. Lines 6-8 lb. I find casting is accurate to about 25 metres, but thats just me. If I broke it would I buy another one, probably yes because it works and I have confidence in it. Are there better rods? Of course. But for the price increases am I getting significantly improved performance? No idea.

    Sonik Xtractor have better guides, can tell just by looking at them.
    A suitable reel to pair them with (to match the price and not just the size) would be Okuma Inception 6000's. Brilliant reel for the money and ive used mid tier daiwa and shimano reels in the past so i do have expereince to refer against.

      @@mark13724278 I can't comment as to whether or not the sonik options available are better than these. judging by looks alone in the video, the eyelets/guides are better on my xtractor's. The insurgent rod's are even better than xtractor.
      If you are looking for a set of rods to fish small ponds to medium size lakes, you can not go wrong with a set of 10ft xtractor, paired with the okuma inception's. The drag on the inception out of the box is excellent. I was going to fit them with carbon washers but was so impressed that i decided it wasn't worth it.
