Sonik ANGL-R Barbel Rod 3.66m

Sonik ANGL-R Barbel Rod — Progressive Power for River Barbel

The Sonik ANGL-R (Angler Rod) Barbel is a purpose-built river rod developed specifically for barbel and other hard-fighting coarse species in UK and European rivers, combining a sensitive tip with serious backbone.

Progressive Blank Action for Full Fish Control

Constructed from a high-modulus carbon blank, this rod delivers a through-action that loads smoothly under pressure yet has enough power in the butt to steer large barbel away from snags. The result is confident fish control without the risk of losing fish on heavy currents.

Avon Tip with Built-In Night-Fishing Capability

The Avon-style tip makes the rod equally at home float fishing, rolling meat, or presenting a static bait on the riverbed. It features a photoluminescent coating that charges under a headlamp and glows in the dark — a practical advantage during after-dark sessions. Two snap-on isotope holders are included (small and large), accepting 2.2 mm or 3 mm isotopes for an even brighter night tip.
