Older Redfiins

Thanks for your replies.

I imagine that most of us upgrade the hooks on the new models anyway-since the quality is not great.

The older textured-finish models do not have bbs (rattle sound) inside. I believe this changed in the early 90s to include the bbs. That style was very productive for me.

As of the newer models 9 (i.e. post 2000-2002 ?), other than the lower quality hooks, I'm hard pressed to notice much difference.

Would love to learn more.

thanks

Hey Frank,

If I can get an old style beater I`m going to cut it open and do a comparison with a newbie.

Checking the packaging these older ones were assembled in El Salvador.

Swim an old one and swim a new one. The old ones for some reason just seem to swim better. I also prefer the way an older one sits in the water. I think the plastic in the old style maybe less dense, but not sure. Like so many other things (ie whiplash ) I wonder why they ever changed. I am gessing the source of plastic changed, which can make all the difference in the world. I am lucky that I still got a fair amount hanging around.
