I'm also using a set of these - 10' 3.25lb TC and am really happy with them. No longer do I need to start putting seats down etc in the car to get the rods in!
Can't wait for the spod rod to be released although I emailed Sonik recently to see when it was likely to be and unfortunately, they said it would be 2020 now.

I just received my 9ft 2.75 Xtractor yesterday and was quite surprised at how pokey it actually is. A 2.25 would have been perfect for me, but I am looking forward to trying it out.
Cheap enough, so I think my initial impressions are favourable enough for me to order another.
One slight concern, is that the blank looks very thin walled to me, just hope they hold up, as I have heard that Soniks aren't always the most robust rods
We shall see........

Hi All,
Any further reviews on these? I'm considering the 10ft 3.25 or 3.5 tc models

Giving this a bump.
Anyone know if the 10ft version will fit in the Nash Scope 2/3 rod bag? Prefer this to the Sonik ones

They fit the nash dwarf double skin perfect

I have 2 9ft 3.0tc they are really good rods for the compact angler, im impressed by them. Had a few double figure carp on them. and yes they fit in the nash 9 ft double scope bag and so does the sonik vader x 2 piece net. and the r9 transporter but the r9 is a bad design in my eyes.
I've just got two cork 3lb 9ft and they are stiff tbh but didn't have any hook pulls on the four fish I got last session, obviously have to put a bit more grunt in a cast with them.
spod/application rods out in january

After using the 10ft 3.5s for a while i found them slightly too stiff for my liking.
So i got the 3.25s as well and i absolutely love them!
Had fish to upper 30 on them so far and they were more then powerfull enough and more enjoyable to play a fish on.
Using the 3.5s as spomb rod (with the mini and midi spombs) and markerrod.

I was thinking of the 10ft 3.25 tc versions for a few small waters up to 6 acres.
Is the handle the same length as the scopes does anyone know?

you are in luck my father in law has just bought some 10ft 3.25 and we were out recently and looking at the difference between his xtractors and my scopes. His are 10ft mine are 9ft. The handle on the 10ft xtractor is not as long as the one on the 9ft scope. Not a lot in it maybe 3 inches.

I had 3 10ft 3.25 TC out yesterday, lovely casting rods with far more punch than I expected (couple of rigs in the trees.....)
Didn't managed to test the playing action as the session was a blank but the rods seem solid & are surprisingly soft in the tip.
This was casting 4oz Solid bags up to 50 yards no issue at all- haven't been able to compare to the Scopes & ended up buying a Cult Tackle 3 rod 10ft sleeve which fits these perfectly (though would prefer more internal padding.
Will let you know if/when I get them out again & will try compare to a mates 10ft Scopes & bag
