CYP Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 Wow is all I could say when I unboxed the rod. Megabass Addermine. It weighs next to nothing. Not sure how Ill be able to use anything other than Megabass rods now. I am beyond impressed. Cant wait to fish it and once I do Im sure Ill need more. 7 Quote

Efishin Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 A lot of great manufacturers of rods but Megabass has something special about them. 2 Quote
Dens228 Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 I made the mistake of buying one. Today I had seven MegaBass rods on my kayak with me. 5 1 Quote

Daiwa has been especially bad at locating them lately. Megabass rods are just the tip of the iceberg. Their bait selection is incredibly unique. 4 Quote
Super User BrianMDTX Posted June 20, 2020 Super User Posted June 20, 2020 I tried looking on their website but keep getting a msg that it may be a site impersonating Megabass. Anyone else get that? Quote
Super User Teal Posted June 20, 2020 Super User Posted June 20, 2020 Dude please stoppppp. ? I've been eyeballing them for a while.. I'm getting anxious on a stupid high level. They ha e good selection and even better if you look at the jdm models.... I'm getting ready to get my toes wet.soon.... and I'm liking to get a few at once. 3 Quote
Pogues2300 Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 Bought a flatside special first, recently bought the perfect pitch. Really nice rods. 1 Quote

Ask questions and create topics if you need to. Tons of into over there on those sticks. Both a retailer of the rods and a Megabass tester are active members over there. Thanks man... appreciate it.. seen a bunch of the Japanese stuff on the hook up, but havent heard of ot... been diving deep in the rabbit hole looking .... and it is wild... I plan on keeping it simple...but I'll def go to tackletour and read what guys have to say about the different rods Quote

I don’t even really like spinning rods much over 6’, but that Addermine is good enough for me to suck it up and learn how to cast one two-handed. It’s really something special. 1 Quote
evilcatfish Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 I was always skeptical and thought the name “megabass” was silly. Took the plunge when the US destroyers came out and haven’t looked back. With the exception of a kistler, a custom and a couple major crafts and st croix my lineup has migrated to megabass. I did sell off a couple that didn’t work out though US destroyer fmj and addermine Destroyer TS Blackjack P5 Destroyer dark sleeper and super destroyer Older destroyer cyclone Destroyer X7 super eiger 2nd gen xx whipsnake 1st gen xx Diablo spec r, perfect pitch, emtf, and flipping special Japan destroyer bandersnatch 3 Quote

Scrapiron Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 Megabass sure does know how to make an excellent rod... and reels, lures, etc. they seem to be the gateway into JDM stuff. I was all Megabass (US and JDM Destroyer, Orochi, X7, and maybe 1 or 2 more) but moved on to other stuff. Their rods are some of the best put together on the market. As someone else mentioned - I looked at my NRX and thought “what the ? Couldn’t the wraps at least be straight ?”. LOL. Different company priorities I guess. it’s a fun rabbit hole, enjoy! 4 Quote

Are they way better than the US destroyers? I was being told by the dealers that they were but I kind of found it hard to believe. Quote

I've only been able to fish the Dark Sleeper so far, and haven't tangled with anything over 2# yet, so the jury is still out. I will say it is quite sensitive, crisp, and responsive thus far, very light and comfortable to fish. Quote
jasmith2108 Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 Does anyone happen to know if they still make the Destroyer TS 775 for Spinning? I'd like to get one but can't find them hardly anywhere. Thanks! Quote
thunderblack Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 Hook up did but looks like they are out. Quote
Super User Boomstick Posted October 5, 2020 Super User Posted October 5, 2020 I have been seriously considering dropping some money on a more expensive rod for T-Rigs and jigs (lures I have tied on almost all the time) - outside of cover one of these days, and the Megabass rods are on on the list.
