When do the Shift rods come out onto the market? Send me a PM please. Got to fish a R-Type reel,TS2 rod, and a R-Type rod and I was very very satisfied with them all, had the rtype reel on the TS2 and it was perfect...no backlashes and smooth casts/retrieves. The R-type rod was perfect with my new revo sx...very senesitive and light in the hand
