Look pretty good! Anyone know where these rods are available?

They look awesome but at that price I wonder about the blank quality. I wish they would make a really high end rod with all the nice trimmings and a high quality blank.

Ive been looking for a rod for my Sol.  This might be the perfect match.  Now, how do we get our hands on them?

I believe Gagnon Sports here in Ontario has them in stock.

They aren't listed on their website but, I thought I saw them there. You can shoot them an email or call to find out for sure. Plus, free shipping until January 31.

Oh, I found them here at Le Baron's as well:

They have 3 stores in Ontario (Mississauga, Markham, Ottawa) and one in Montreal, Quebec.

you can buy these at a bunch of stores in montreal. I havent seen these but last year they had one out called the r-type. Great rods for the money. One of my buddies loaded up on 4 of them for a tourney and he loves them.

Thanks for the info guys! How much do the Swift rods cost in these canadian shops?

Going for about $145 plus tax at the only store around here that carries them.

Thanks! Will these rods also be available in US stores?

Tackle Warehouse for example?

Looks really good, limited rod selection, questionable blank quality like Dan said and heavy for a rod of it's size...

But d**n it does look good..

Thanks! Will these rods also be available in US stores?

Tackle Warehouse for example?

I'm guessing no, at least not this year - the R types certainly didn't make it out of Canada last year.
