Pictured here: 3kg+ wild Tarawera jack caught and released 26/9/11 on SONIK sk8 #5, sk4 WF5 F line, sk4 5/6 clutch drag reel, Essential Fly 3x leader, about 4 feet of 6lb Sakuma fluorocarbon tippet and a lightly-weighted #8 dragonfly larva imitation of mine, fished into the wind over a weed-covered drop off. 

This rod continues to amaze me.  Its ability to handle large fish at such a low AFTMA rating impresses me nearly as much as the pleasure of casting it.  The physically undemanding but lightning-fast action of these sk8 banks handles wind better than any other design I’ve cast so far.  From the very first cast, the advanced level of sk8 technology combined with its medium pricing has been the reason I decided to sell SONIK tackle.  (Peter Storey)

Solar-powered personal lighting . . .

These solar caps are magic for the backcountry.  I’ve had one of the originals about 4 years now.  The solar panel is matt finish, they weigh next to nothing and from a dimming beam, 15-20 minutes’ charging will provide adequate casual light for the next campsite.  I’ve never left a fully-charged one on for 3 hours solid to see if that’s true, of course, but will add this warning: Don’t let your kids (or mates) get hold of it!  (Peter Storey)
