The Rabitech Apex trigger and handle are in the same league with the Aimrite in my opinion and both are superior to the Rob Allen and Rabitech Hunter trigger, also in my opinion. Of course you pay a lot more for the Apex or the Aimrite, so it is relative. The handle on the Apex is sort of odd shaped and from what I hear isn’t supposed to be as comfortable if you have large hands. I don’t have large hands and it feels fine to me. There is a new style handle coming out for the Apex that supposedly addresses some of these issues. The trigger mech has plenty of room to rig the gun with heavy mono and the rail on the barrel is deep and holds the shaft in place well. This is kind of important to me because I am often loading the gun while trying to keep my eye on fleeing fish. I currently have the Rabitech Apex with an open muzzle. There is some debate on muzzles but I feel that the closed muzzle will always add a little drag to shaft. Although people disagree with that I don’t see how pulling the loop of mono through the hole can not add a little drag.
Authors bio is coming up shortly.
Great info! The New Apex 3000 handle fixes the problems of comfort and a lot of custom gun builders including PoseidonSub like the trigger after evaluating dozens of other triggers, even some big names, and have begun using the handle in their own custom wooden-euro gun series.
The S/S release we’re bringing in standard, and Rabitech will be launching a new barrel which will be Oblique/Oblong shaped so as to aid in tracking through the water and have a signature design. The Apex is available in the Carbon and Aluminum, though the Ali we stock is the Tuna Ali, thicker barrel, Aluminum integrated rail.
Thanks for the review!
