Rapala R-Type rods have been designed from the ground up to catch the biggest fish in Australian waters. Encompassing ten models in both spin and overhead configurations, the range of Rapala R-Type has something for everyone. Constructed using a special combination of interlocking linear graphite cloth, the R-Type blanks reduce ovalisation and twisting under load, producing an extremely powerful blank capable of pushing anglers and fish to their limits. Outfitted with quality Fuji components and the best quality ultra high-density EVA for the custom shaped grips, the new Rapala R-Type rods are built to last.With models suited to all sorts of heavy-duty fishing, the R-Type series have technique specific actions catered to Australia’s most popular sportsfishing techniques. If you feel like throwing plastics for snapper or kingfish, you’ll want to look at the 702M. If stickbaiting for reef fish is more your thing, maybe think about the 762MH. If you want to throw poppers at bone jarring giant trevally, then reach of the 762XH and get popping. The range also encompasses jigging specific models, for when you want to drop some heavy lead on big samsonfish or amberjack.The new Rapala R-Type rods continue Rapala’s tradition of seriously effective bluewater tackle. Perfectly matched to the range of R-Type reels.
Silstar Power Tips started it all! They are manufactured of a layered graphite/fibreglass blank with a strong, solid tip. High quality aluminium oxide guides and a graphite reel seat polish off this unique Silstar range.
Cosmetically, these rods are very attractive to the eye with their metallic red colour, intricate butt wrap design, matching winding checks & shaped EVA grips. The Power Tip rod building process manages to combine unbelievable strength and sensitivity with sensational fish fighting actions. These rods have the ability to cast down to the weight of a small prawn, and yet have the butt power to stop large fish, dead in their tracks.
This performance is possible because Power Tip Rods are built in a unique way. Layers of composite materials are laid onto a mandrel to provide the blank with its basic action. Then, solid strands of fibreglass are drawn along the rod from the bottom to the tip of the core.
The strands do not stop there however, but are drawn out further, past the core of the rod to form that incredibly flexible solid glass tip.
