Another reel that works well on 9ft rods is the Wychwood Extricator 5000FD.
Compared to the Ultegra 5500 xtd, which I also have, the spool is the same diameter but a shorter stroke and the reel weighs 20% lighter. Quality feels at least equal to the Shimano, drag is smooth and fairly quick without being silly. The finish is matt black with a nice wood handle and standard spool is silver which looks nice with line on, but the optional black spool looks nicer, and there is even a gold spool if that floats your boat.
I tend to leave some rods made up with the Wychwoods and some with the Shimanos, and use the Wychwoods if I am likely to be fishing less than about 60 yards and the Shimanos for anything further. I often take one or two of each with me and place them on wonky single sticks for a pleasingly unmatched setup.

Do you know if the Xtractors will fit in the Nash dwarf double rod bag? The dwarf not the Scope bag.
Thank you

They fit in the dwarf bag perfect as they have shorter handles like dwarfs.

Do the Scopes fit in the Sonik bag?
Has anyone had any issues with their xtractors breaking? I ordered a set to take to france in a couple of months, its not a big lake and lots of stalking spots so thought they'd make a nice change from my 12ft's. Took them to the lake just to check the casting, second cast the top section cracked and split around the joint. looking at the finish it would appear to me to be a bit of a Friday afternoon job with the other 2 and the replacement all looking fine. That said i'm now a bit concerned taking them to France as my main set. I searched around and haven't found any reports of breakages unlike the dwarfs but thought I'd just check here to put my mind at rest.

I just received my 10 foot Xtractors today. They both fit nicely in the Nash duo dwarf rod carryall. That's with Dominator X 8000s on them.

Picked the 10ft 3.25tc up today
What a disappointment. Firstly noticed the 1st eye has what must be either a resin or lacquer on the inside of the eye d
Then when putting the rod together noticed the 1st eye on the 2nd section is about a qtr of an eye out compared to the others on the top section
Absolute junk to be honest really badly put together, the eyes on the top section basically corkscrew unevenly up the section.
Really disappointed to the point I wont consider any Sonik gear now, this one doesn't even come close to being acceptable. Obviously Chinese trash.
Sonic need to sort out their QC because this one should of been chucked in the bin straight off the production line
Sorry but I've absolutely nothing good to say about the thing

You must of been unlucky, but yes agreed if it's that bad then shouldn't of been sold and passed QC
I just measured my 10' 3.25tc Xtractors and they are just over 4tf when packed down. I see lots of comments about the Xtractors fitting in Dwarf luggage but no one mentioned the size of the Dwarf holdalls/bags being used.
Do 10ft Xtractor's fit in 9ft Dwarf luggage? (I'm looking at getting the Dwarf 3 rod carry system)
Can someone clarify... thanks.

I have the 10ft extractors can't comment on the dwarf luggage but I use the cult compact 10ft rod holdall
If its any use when I bought my cult holdall I ordered the 9ft by mistake and it was too small so sent it back
