I have used most banksticks makes in the past and bought some AVID LOK DOWN BANK STICKS
and I think they are the best out there rock solid and dont slip
I had a look at some in Go Outdoors yesterday. The fit between make and female sections was better than the Sonik, but still slipped.
Looks like I'll have to be a bit less tight with my money and get some more Nash or Fox sticks

Hi Crag sounds like the ones you picked up needed a slight adjustment takes seconds
As trust me Avid ones dont slip !!!!
if you correctly adjust the the pinch bolt !!
this is brilliant as it future proofs them as if they wear you simply adjust the pinch bolt to take up the wear
I put my full 17 stone at the time I bought them and could not make them slip ! I also used the 48" ones down the river over 2 seasons and they do not slip
and the reason they dont slip is the clamp grips all the way round UNLIKE others that only clamp on one small spot
I have had Nash , Fox ,chub and JRC and Avid are miles better
JUST WATCH THIS LINKY POO

I'm not criticising your verdict, but everyone on the rack in all lengths slipped, and didn't see or know they could be adjusted.
I'm not expecting to force them into the ground without them collapsing, but expect better grip than what I'm seeing.
The Avid were better than the Sonik, but not by a lot

WELL !!!
if you didnt know you adjust the clamp when you first buy it no wonder the ones people play with in a shop go out of adjustment and slip FFS ?
BUT DONT take my word for it SIMPLY use your eyes !!!!!!!!!!!!!
and watch the video in the link think thats pretty clear evidence

Cheers. I'll see if I can get there this week, and have another play.

Yeah, checked out the avid ones in my local shop, as I'm looking to replace my heavy sticks.
V positive locking system, no slip or movement on any I tried, and yes the sonik ones were rubbish.

Just noticed that the Avid sticks are exactly the same diameter as the buzzer bar posts supplied with my Fox rodpod (can't remember the model). Which makes them even better!
