Rapala T-Spec
Hey guys, I saw some of these rods at work half price because Rapala are bringing out a new series of rod next year. They are down to $130 and I was wondering if any of you fellas have used these rods and if they're any good. From what I've felt they seem pretty nice. I was talking about the red one (not green) in the 6"10 2-4kg model.

Cheers, Lachie

Not heavy at all and not tip heavy with the reel on,one of the best you will get in that price bracket.The 6"10 is a great rod for LB casting and the 6"6 is perfect for snags and pontoons and pulls bream backwards.Great value at that price
cheers nereus

They are 40 tonne graphite with fuji components so it would struggle to be a "heavy" rod but the butt is quite short which makes it feel heavier in the hand without a reel on it.
