Anyone know which companies make 10ft retractable rods like the scope or Sonik extractor?
Got a 10ft extractor and while I like the rod, the build quality of mine is not good (misaligned eyes) which has put me off buying anymore Sonik gear

Hello mate, I think you'll find the build quality is poor on all the cheaper retractable rods. I use Nash Dwarf rods and their poor too lol..

I use a set of 10ft 3.25lbs Xtractors.
At first i had an issue with one rod having a smaller piece of cork above the reelseat compared to the 2 other rods.
The tackle shop replaced it with a matching one no problem.
I'm happy with the Xtractors though and landed fish to well over 40 on them.
I also use a set of 10ft 3.5lbs Cotswold Rods Pace Compacts.
They're in a different league, but also a higher price bracket.
Worth every single penny!

Most people use the 4.5lb TC versions of the rods they choose. Aqua now have dipped their feet into the extending rod market. If you want the Creme de la Creme of compact packdown rods, look no further than the Dymag range. Not extending butts. but 3 piece rods which have had no expense spared.

I think the new type of rod is better I had the Harrison three piece when they first came out what a pain putting away a setting up I would go for pace

Not a problem packing away at all. I use some 4 piece Fox Floater rods & they are no problem at all taking down or putting together.
|\|\|\| is the way I have always packed them down & never had any tangles etc.

No there not. Totally different blank, more of a forgiving through action.
