Sonik XKR 5/6/7

Sonik have certainly hit the spot with their new range XKR Reels - Large arbor with a V shape spool, (to ensure an even line lay) the reel is produce from bar stock aluminium.  A tone of gunmetal and gold highlights add the most perfectly balanced style to a beautiful piece of engineering.
The spool change is a quick affair by unscrewing the central nut , give a firm pull and bingo... push back and the spool beds in without any movement around the housing.

A fully adjustable drag is pretty well protected from the elements and it delivers the most taming smooth application of pressure, controlled by a large knob which enables easy instant adjustment during your fight should you require.
The reel was delivered for left hand wind but changing to right is achieved swiftly and without the need of any tools- excellent if coaching or providing clients with equipment to use.
Supplied in a neoprene case and with size options the reel offers excellent value and looks and feels a million dollars,  a great buy for the price.
