Sonik Insurgent Carp Rod

Sonik Insurgent Carp Rod

The production of the Sonik Insurgent Carp Rod has been based on the design of previously available retractable-butt carp rods yet this model looks at getting the very best performance possible.

Sonik’s own Xtractor rods have proved to be extremely popular and for their price point they really do pack a punch for the cost. But for those out there looking for a rod that is lighter, quicker and more responsive, the Insurgent Carp Rods may be just what you are looking for.

The  Rod has been designed using a number of new materials and utilisation of the latest high modular Toray carbon blank, which gives the rod a significant advantage over cheaper models. Aesthetically these rods are truly beautiful; the 1K armoured weave running along the entire length of the rod gives an appearance of a rod costing double that of the Insurgent.

Significant weight has been saved by utilising this material and the theme continues with the super light M-Series DL black guides running along the blank with a 40mm guide pattern. This large butt ring ensures that distance casts can still be made and with an anti-frap tip you can really wind up on a cast and propel the lead further than ever before on rods of this specification.

Because of the retractable butt, the transport lengths of the rod are cut down significantly, where the 9ft folds down to 44 inches in length and 10ft to only 50 inches, which can fit in the boots of many cars!

An 18mm Fuji DPS reel seat will house any reel but to balance the setup well a medium sized big pit would do the job nicely, especially when distance casting may be required at times. The matt finish of the Insurgent Rods gives it an almost custom built look and the slim Japanese shrink rubber handle provides the classic final touch.
