I was wondering that too. Last year on EG's site it showed release date was December alongside the new Cobra but now it seems to have disappeared. Was looking forward to see what this rod was about.

If I am reading things right, there will be both a 7' and 7'4" version of this rod, the longer version featuring a longer grip. Seriously thinking about getting one upon release

Just ckecked out the Imakatsu IG and you are right, looks like there is going to be a 7'4" "Giant Deere Wolf" rod too for big baits. Looks sick, seemed he was throwing some 9" swimbaits on that thing.

Why will you choose RS intead of GT ? Just curious

I prefer the looking of RS but according to the review ( if translation its ok ) The GT suits better for my intended purpose.

I intend to use this rod primarily for bladed jigs. While I can’t promise that I’m interpreting the description 100%, the photo clearly shows RS model with a single hook bait. :lol: I also prefer the cork and aesthetics of the RS. I own almost every model of the Inspirare casting lineup and all of the RS models with the exception of the black raven extreme. The RS and RSR Rapid Gunner are a pleasure to fish. I’m certainly not discounting the GT…but if I could only pick one the RS is it.

What are the differences between the RS and GT models? I'm looking at the Cougar Elite GT (Full length grip). Is one essentially for moving baits, the other for bottom contact?

GT-R model if I'm not wrong according to de website transalation is more flexible rod which is better with treble hooks and accuracy.

I “think” the handle on the GT is a little shorter too, but I could be wrong.
