Rapalero Rods

As promised here's a post of the much awaited Rapalero rods. You saw the red sticks on some of the Rapalero trip photos as used by FG and gang. Now is a chance to own them. Was informed they will reach retail stores as early as this month! I checked out the 6-12lb and 8-14lb rods. Quite strong and beefy. Not your usual noodle stick but definitely one that will yank those Toman from heading towards the snags.

Ratings:
6-12lb
8-14lb
10-17lb
12-20lb

Casting sticks are 6ft and Spin sticks are 6"6ft respectively


Red sticks - Rapalero


Fuji reel seats

Carbon Fibre - sexy

Nice butt

    To be honest, it's more of a casting rod than a jig rod so the action will be a little different, not to mention the butt length may cause a bit of discomfort for jigging long hours.

    HI there Asmoham,
    I dont think so but I may be wrong. Try checking out some Asia Pacific local retailers that may carry. You can try contacting http://www.fishingbuddy.com.sg to see if they can ship it for you?
