Introduction: In June of 2010, we brought you a look into Rapala Canada’s top end, “CDM” (Canadian Domestic Market) offering, the Shift baitcasting rod. The shift series retails for right around $179 Canadian and features guides with stainless steel frames and SiC inserts, quite the value! Yet, the workhorse of the Rapala Canada lineup and even more of a value is an entirely different series, the R Type. We had one of these rods with us on our recent trip to the Amazon in search of peacock bass and today we bring you our review of Rapala Canada’s R-Type RT45TR72MH2, 2 piece casting rod.
