Title: Race Point 150 Announcement!
Post by: Saltywater Tackle on April 26, 2013, 09:35:37 PM
It is almost close to 1 year since we start testing the Race Point 150 and we're finally happy and satisfied with the result and performance.
Race Point 150 will go in production next week and will take close to 4 month to complete, we are hoping to have it in the market before the end of August 2013.
it took us 4 prototype rods to get it to where it is right now and I am pretty much confident that many anglers will enjoy the Race Point 150,
the rod is going to be rated PE6-PE8 with a max Drag of 12kg and fighting drag of 10kg, recommended lure from 50g to 120g.
as all Race Point serious of rods, it will have the backbone needed to subdue most kind of fishes.
the following pictures are from the testing that been conducted in the past year:

I'm keen to see the new 100 as well. Would be of high interest as a land based rod for quite a few people I'm sure.
