I just got a set of the sonik xtractors to as they are so cheap. They fit perfect in the Nash Dwarf double rod skin. I tried them in my scope rod skin and they didn't fit properly .

Spod had one in a Nash sleeve I think. A dwarf sleeve would probably be a better fit because of the handle length..
They're doing a cork model. Wonder if the handle will be longer?

Really like them. I have the 10ft 3.25. only used them in anger a couple of times, had fish upto 23lb which gave a good account of itself.
I think for the money they are vv good value. The fitting and fixtures looks decent quality.
I had more of an issue with what reels to match them with, had a GS400 and an old aero 4500gt baitrunner on them and with 15lb line they both felt awful on the rods.
have now matched with a pair of the smaller ESP Onyx reels and the balance feels spot on.
i'm using mine for more general fishing, rather than stalking, so needed reels that could hold and cast 15lb line more easily than the smaller reels.

iv got the esp onyx compact reels on mine to. Nice reels and come with a super shallow spool , so don't have to put any backing line on them. Very nice.

Sorry for being a bit off topic. What are the 10ft 3.25 like for casting? ideal casting weight / distance? thinking of getting some for evenings after work so i can just leave them in the boot all day.

I've just got a little 9ft 3lb xtractor for stalking. Nice and light and less than 4ft pack down size. Paired it with a gs4000 reel. Went with the 9ft xtractor sleeve also but that hasn't arrived yet.

i found them fine. was chucking a 3 oz lead 60 yards without really trying. that was also with brand new 0.38mm mono on a GS400) so with a larger spooled reel and/or thinner line, you could certainly get a fair bit further.
As mentioned i now have the smaller Onyx reels and reckon that i could fish effectively upto 80 plus yards. probably more in reality once i got used to casting a shorter rod.

Hi guys,
Without creating a new topic: so you prefer single sleeves or double/triple skin for your rods?

Yes, I seen and held them, but I thought maybe the Sonik sleeves were better quality?

Not seen the Sonik ones to be fair
I have the cult one and am more than happy with it

What's the padding/protection like mate? The material looks fairly thin on the photos.

Got single sleeves for my sonik recon 8ft's, they're snug but quality is excellent. The pockets and little bungee straps for clipping a net on are well thought out for travelling light IMO
