salokcinnodrog Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 I use a Sonik Vader S&M Hybrid Spod and Marker. Biggest problem is the 50mm butt ring, they do get chipped easily in transit, I have had to replace it twice. Personally I prefer 40mm butt rings and the 50mm does NOT improve casting distance. I can cast Century Big Bertha with 40mm butt ring further, but as I use the one rod for spodding and marker/leading around now I slimmed the tackle down. elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just broken the insert on one my rods again, I also did the same on my sonik rod, I'm going off the rings with plastic inserts, I break them too easily don't even know how or when it happened tbh, can you get eyes without the inserts (ie more Elmo resistant) 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
