I've been looking for these in 1.75 but they seem to be out of stock everywhere in all TC's.

I hope they haven't stopped producing them?

Have any of these retractable rods got rings with ceramic liners?

and not just the minima/vortex type guides?

If I got some more they would need to have ceramic rings so I could use them with braid too for other species

I just did a search & found those - someone needs to go to Specsavers (again).

Thank you Vossy!

If you're looking for a specialist retractable i've just ordered 2 of the Sonik xtractor specialists and they're spot on.

Did you get the 1.75lb tc version of the Sonok specialist retractable? .... Ive been toying idea of a set of these for a while myself now. I want a set for Tench/Bream fishing .... Would you say the action is about 1.75lb or a bit pokier?

I'm really after a cork handle & I like the old school look of the korum's.

I will take a look at the Sonik's though thank you.

The thread is retractable rod options i answered the wrong post was talking about the korum xtnd retractables 10ft 2.25 and 2.75 tc there not listed on korum site as the person was asking about retractables
I am not the only one that needs to go to spec savers
Are you sure?
