Exactly what I was thinking wen I opened this. Anyone know what the spinning models look like?

I don't understand why people still think Metanium line is better than the J-Dream line. They are totally different beast and the J-Dream eats the met alive. Only positive i can think of for the Met is a very light and balanced rod that needs the light weight of the Met, but sadly most rods are sli...

Kinda what I was hoping too, something in that $450-500 range with fast US style tapers.

Which model is best for 3/8 oz jigs with 14lb fluoro? I'm looking at the 6'10"MH, 7'2"MH or 7'2"H. I don't know why, but I'm leaning towards the 6'10"MH. Something about them 6'10" rods.

As soon as I can share models and price point info I will. right now we are only allowed to share the series name. There will be some other MB product news...

The megabass orochi xx and yes I think it's a better value. Only thing the dobyns has it beat on is warranty...

I have the AMX7, but i wouldn't have gotten it after he left MB. Interesting. I have several Megabass rods associated with AM. I couldn't care less wether he's still fishing with them or not, I enjoy the rods. To each their own! I agree. I don't really give a crap about what any of the pros use. St...
