Here’s the skinny and I think you’ve made a good choice with the Braillist. I’ve own several Megabass rods from Levante all the way up to P5 Destroyer. Of all the rods I’ve used, I’ve only broken two, both were my fault and I should of handled the situations better. First was the headlock on the reel seat, overtorqued it and broke it on my Orochi XXX Destruction and then on my Orochi XX Tour Versatile I snapped the tip off after getting my frog stuck in a tree. I’m not overall hard on my rods, but I am a bank buster so they are treated like safe queens. The ride around in the back of my 4Runner and still haven’t had a rod snap like a few people have experienced. Rods break, the down side Megabass have a three year warranty. First one is covered by them, next you pay 60% of cost, third I believe is retail. This is one of the downsides when buying Megabass rods used or even new. 
Current Megabass rods:
Levante Perfect Pitch
Levante EMTF
Orochi XX Enforcer
Orochi XX Whipsnake
Triza Grilz
Triza Dragoon
P5 Destroyer TB
 
Ive had: 
Orochi XX
Braillist
Tour Versatile
Jerkbait Special
Flat Side Special
 
P5 Destroyer
Super Destroyer
Wind Buster
 
Bottom line-if you’re gonna abuse your gear get the Levante line, if you take care of it get the Orochi. Breaks happen. Our equipment is man made, which means we can break it just as easily. Above all: it’s fishing, have fun. You don’t need a line up like mine to enjoy it.
