Re: P5 super destroyer

Right at the twisting part of the lock nut.

Maybe even in the center of the twisting part of lock nut if I didn't have the carbon fiber handle and zpi spool.

Re: P5 super destroyer

I'll be using it in a friendly kayak bass fishing tournament next weekend. I have so much confidence in its versatility and fish handling ability that it will be the only rod i will be bringing. Sounds pretty good. I will be completely honest with you. I have the Gen 1 rod and I am a skeptic of the...

Re: P5 super destroyer

I have one and have taken it out 3 times. The reel I am using is a Steez A with ZPI m spool and 40 lb J-braid Grand. The first time I used it was frogging with a megabass big gabot frog(3/4 oz) from a kayak. Like the description says, the hook sets were fast and I had to slow it down a little. I mis...

Re: New Megabass Destroyers

Ouch on the x-bites. Hope that doesn't happen to my super destroyer. While frog fishing today with the super destoyer, I landed 3 2lbrs and a pike. Rod handled them well, even with the fish covered in vegetation. Sensitivity seems pretty good. I could feel my frog sliding across the weed stems. It i...

Re: New Megabass Destroyers

Getting my super destroyer tomorrow! Now I have to decide which reel to put on it. Steez A tw with a ZPI M spool or JDM Scorpion DC! It’s just not right to put a shimano on an MB rod I put the Steez on the new Super Destroyer and Scorpion DC on the Destroyer Javelin for its long cast capabilities.

Re: Help me choose a Destroyer P5!

The reel is the limiting factor. No way I'd pair that with a Super Destroyer, X-Bites, or Dark Sleeper. On the heavier side, perhaps the super versatile medium power Cyclone, or maybe the ML Bait Finesse (Hein), or preferably lighter options below F3. Those would match much better with your reel. I...

Re: Help me choose a Destroyer P5!

What do you guys think? Or any other rod recommendations for the aldeberan bfs xg? The Dark Sleeper (I have one) is awesome. A true fast taper gives it a lot of versatility. Sensitivity is excellent for bottom contact baits as well. I don't think that a Aldeberan BFS XG reel would be a good fit for...

DARK SLEEPER! No experience with rod. Sounds like fun.
Yes it does.

Help me choose a Destroyer P5!

I have a 2016 shimano aldeberan bfs xg that needs a new home. It has 150 yards of 15 lb braid on it. I've been looking at the new destroyer p5s and can't decide which one to get to pair with the super light reel. I can only get one. I regularly carry these on a fishing trip: Megabass destroyer javel...

Re: JDM Ice rods

I use my steez a tw on a MH Jason Mitchell casting ice rod for walleye and northern tip up fishing. I also ordered an aldeberan bfs xg and fenwick medium action casting ice rod for perch and walleye jigging. Should be a fun season! Nice, I've been thinking about getting a Aldeberan for that same re...

Re: crank bait trebles

Make sure you're putting the hooks on correctly. The belly hook should lay with 2 points flat against the belly and the rear hook should have one point up and 2 down. Tacticalbassin on YouTube has a good video explaining it.
