Super User Raul Posted November 1, 2016 Super User Posted November 1, 2016 The truth is that I´m not impressed at all, one thing I liked about Megabass reels were ( aside from some functional upgrades ) the cosmetic changes that made them so unique, I don´t see that anymore = no longer desirable for me. The last Megabass reels in the Alphas platform I was willing to spring the cash were the Zonda Rosso and the Zonda Hedgehog Custom ( to complete the Zonda 68 collection ), but by the time they were available I was no longer purchasing reels, my last purchase was a SS SV ( that´s still in the box ).

Hogsticker Posted November 1, 2016 Author Posted November 1, 2016 Pretty much seems to be the general consensus. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted November 2, 2016 Super User Posted November 2, 2016 Looks like once again they've went with that ill-conceived clear plastic side plate. Quote

Delaware Valley Tackle Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Reminds me of that silly gear box to demonstrate oil that you see on the counter in auto parts stores. 1 Quote
byram bassturd Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 New monoblock. Looks like they went back to the weird looking CCC on the original monoblock. Not sure yet how I feel about the brown on the palming side plate. Quote
Tim Kelly Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 The only megabass reels I've ever liked the look of were the Ryoga based ones. I would like one of them, though would never want to pay the price for it. Generally I dislike their reels appearance and their rods are really unappealing with a ridiculous collection of parts thrown onto the blank. No where near how I like to build my rods, which are very stripped down. Quote
