barroncooper Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 i'm diggin it. wonder what the price point is Quote
barroncooper Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 i think it's around 130.00. found it on another site Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted July 30, 2010 Super User Posted July 30, 2010 it does indeed, I really like the way the shift looks too. I think they are the top of the line and are $180 canadian. If I'm not mistaken, the R-type is a step down from the shift....maybe? http://www.tackletour.com/reviewicast10rapalacanada.html Quote
curls00 Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 I've owned my Rapala R-Type 6'7" MH-XF spinning rod for about 1.5 bass seasons now. It's "ok", but I like my Shimano 6'6" MH-F spinning rod more. The Compre is more sensitive, feels more powerful, and has a better action in my mind. Not to mention the Compre is probably cheaper! The Shift rods are REALLY nice though -- used a few (albeit briefly) a few weeks ago while fishing a smallmouth tournament with my brother. They're incredibly light and also incredibly sensitive. Multiple times more sensitive than the R-type, IMO. Now the R-Type isn't "bad"... its a good rod, but I'd expect it to be priced more in the $75 - $100 CAD range (approx the same in USD). Quote
