Hello everyone and welcome to my first monthly blog for the Sonik website. I became a consultant for Sonik at the end of 2009, and already I have been busy testing a new prototype blank for a possible new Sonik carp rod for next year. The blank itself uses new carbon fibre technology which ultimately means, you should get a rod that is lighter, stiffer and stronger. I will also be working with Ian and Tony at Sonik to produce a new landing net design. I have a busy year ahead!

Hope you’re all well and out catching a few. Me? Well as usual, I’ve been out every week without fail both near and far in my quest for great fishing and although a little embarrassing, I’m certainly not complaining as my year has gone from strength to strength and I’ve been ever so fortunate that wherever I’ve cast a bait I’ve been well rewarded with some superb fish from both home and abroad.

I must admit my planned French trip couldn’t come round quick enough and I’d been counting the days until we were off headed to Dover once more.

Monster sturgeon test the sk3 to its limits.

Unsurprisingly as the summer's got underway I’ve been flat out fishing at every available opportunity and so haven’t found any time to update my blog, so first off I’ll apologise if you’ve been checking in for updates, but I’m sure you understand.
