Re: Major Craft Issue

Their CS made me whole a few years ago when I had one of their SPJ rods explode on a lingcod. Took about a month once everything was processed. Odd. Every time I've purchased a rod it got shipped within 2 days. And my emails got replies within a day or two too. Granted it's been over a year since I...

Re: Major Craft Issue

Well, glad to hear something finally happened. Which model(s) did you order? Just picked up a benkei. 6'5" L/SFS. Just wanted something for some redear/shellcracker fishing. I know some guys will say that's too much rod for panfish. But not when you're fishing for 3 to 4 lb class fish in thick veg ...

Re: Major Craft Issue

I've purchased several rods from them in the past and have had no issues so maybe you guys are right. It is a shame though. I always tried to purchase rods through Major Craft of America to support them, rather than buying overseas even if it meant I paid more. Oddly, I filed a report with PayPal ye...

Major Craft Issue

Anyone know what's going on with Major Craft America? Placed an order for a rod on 12/31 and never heard anything back. Figured it was the holidays and they'd get back to me eventually, but I've tried reaching out and have not had any success. Checked with them on Facebook and they gave me an email ...

Re: First look at Megabass Destroyer USA rods

How similar to the nautilus is the javelin? Is it as versatile? My Nautilus snapped in half today, and if I cannot find a used nautilus soon I may have to pick up a Javelin to replace it... Nautilus down, no!!! :crying: That's painful to say the least. Fortunately, the Javelin will make you smile i...

Re: First look at Megabass Destroyer USA rods

To me it seems to have the same action just in a 1/4 to 1/2 power heavier model. The tip doesn't load up quite as easily on the lighter end like the Nautilus does but handles the heaver end with a bit more ease. Very similar though, I would say not quite as good for the lowest range of what you wou...

Re: First look at Megabass Destroyer USA rods

Any word whether these rods will be continuous or limited production run? They will be produced for several years, they are not a limited production run model. I'm glad to hear all the positive reviews of these rods guys! I've been fishing mine a lot more since getting them and again, as a long tim...

Re: BFS Lines

I also run 7# sniper. I tried braid, but used 10#, which dug into the spool. Might be better off with 20# if you want to use braided line.
