Purple RCX Or The Blue RC Reel?

[eyedabassman]

Is the old RC reel the same as the new Ricky Clunn RCX reel? I just got my flyer and the purple RC reel is on sale so I am not sure if I can still get the old blue one yet. Just would like to know if there are the same or did they make any changes other than the color?

the specs are exactly the same down to the porky 9.45 oz. weight. so i think i change was only cosmetic to match the new RCX rods. the old RC reels are on clearance at basspro.com for $89.77 but only lefties are left.

Sounds like you should go for the new purple RCX...

The older blue RC reels were on clearance last month for $71 and change and that was a good deal - they sold out at that price but then BPS must have found some more BUT relisted them on the web at the $89 price.

Just a name change.  If you notice, most all companies are getting away for having pro's names on their reels/rods.  Expect a few to stick around (KVD for example), but most signature series items will go away.
