It won't do you any good unless you bought the rod new from an authorized Megabass USA dealer in the US, have proof of purchase, and are within the warranty period.

Re: Shattered my P3 Bearing Down

The first day I went out with my FMJ, I was pond fishing flipping it with a T-rigged brush hog with 3/4 tungsten. I had a bite and set the hook and missed the fish but the weight flew straight at my face. But with my jedi skills, I blocked it with my FMJ and it cracked my pole...Completely my fault...

Re: Conquest rod weights?

Not much difference in weight vs. NRX. 842c NRX=106g, 842c Conquest=102g. 843c NRX=110g, 843c Conquest=111g. I'll have to weigh my Conquests when I can get to a good scale since they are now split grip like NRX. That extra cork probably added at least 7g. you modded them to be split grip? dude, you...

Re: Bait Monkey is F***ing Me Over!!! HELP ME!

No nrx 893? That is a must have.. the nrx line is still top dog in my opinion.
There are some great contenders out there, poison glorious/ultima,steez ags, luxxe oltre, kaleido.. buy them all, that's what I did

Re: Anyone give an updated comparison GLX893 vs NRX 893

NRX 893 is a great jig rod, but to me 1/4 oz is too light for it.

Little overkill,got it for t-rig and jigs,but couldn’t resist fishing with it today. Wicked sensitive,can’t wait to go to Chickamauga this weekend! Nice! What i...

Re: Shattered my P3 Bearing Down

Definitely recommend the FMJ, you could fish with that stick all day and not get sick of it... I have not been able to handle the FMJ yet, I am torn between the FMJ and Daemos. My goal is to get something with a similar power/length to the p3 Bearing down, but with a slightly softer tip. That rod w...

Re: Shattered my P3 Bearing Down

I guess also part of the determination would be, do you throw fluoro or braid when you fish this light cover !/4 to 1/2oz. as you mention? The lakes rivers I fish here in Chicago area are usually deep and sometimes very clear. Cover is light submerged weed beds on mud or gravel. So I don't go very ...

Re: Shimano Loomis Conquest rods

Does the MBR taper make them more parabolic.. Are these supposed to be moving bait rods? No, they are a classic "Mag Bass" taper that Loomis has been using for years. The rods are all considered a "fast" taper but they aren't technique specific like many other lines of Loomis rods. They are definit...

And Im sure he got's you covered if something would to...
