Canadian domestic market.  :-?  Anyway, looks like Rapala is turning out some nice bass rods for our neighbors to the north.  Shouldn't be too much to acquire some down here...

I wonder what their price range will be ?

I saw on another forum the Shift will be around $150.

Wow, lookin' pretty hi-tech I see.

I've handled a few of the R-Types.  Nice rods, well-made just a touch heavy.

The Shift's looks like they're introducing a new higher end rod.  Hmm, time to call around and see who's got some in stock.

d**n those look amazing!!  If they're really $150 and fish anywhere near as good as they look I'll have a few.

Appearances can be deceiving but these do look nice.  I'm looking forward to more information on these.  At that price, this could be a nice rod.

I contacted Gagnon's a well known sporting goods store in Oshawa Ontario.

I know that they stock Rapala's new Canadian line of rods and reels.  They told me they don't have any prices yet.  The first rods are shipping around Xmas.  They suggested I check back after that new year.

These rods resemble the E-21 product...E-21's address is in Toronto Ontario!?!?

Makes you wonder doesn't it...

look nice, but IMO not enough selection on the casting rods.

I think they look cool, sort of on the vendetta side of things
