Re: ARMS "SUPER LEGGERA"

Any feedback on performance of the rod? Which model? I have the ASL6904X. I fish with it occasionally. Regular action and it is for primarily for jerkbaits/topwater for me. It is an incredible rod and I love the carbon handle. My understanding is that the blanks are quite similar to the X7 series, ...

Re: Megabass price increase

have u tried the xbites and if so, do u feel that rod falls into the same category of lackluster sensitivity? maybe i missed it but do the p5s have the same breakage issues? Nope; the X-Bites is on par or better than the NRX 893 (I have both rods) from a sensitivity standpoint for me. Balance is si...

Re: Megabass IXI Shad

The Type R and Type 3 are working well for me. The cast ability for 1/4 oz is great. The LBO system is winner for being able to launch a light bait.

I picked up a couple of the new TX models that claim to reach 4m (on 8 lb test). Anyone fish these yet?

Re: Megabass 2022 P5 models ?!?

Yeah, I have no problem with the handle design…..really like the minimalist design. And I find the Windbuster to fit my hand comfortably, although I know not everyone does. Me too. I also get that if someone doesn't like it, then find another rod when you are spending $450+ on a rod. ;) But, I like...

Re: MegaBass worm rod

I do like to use a 1/8 ounce weight on a worm or a creature bait at times. Jeff I've used both a 1/8 ounce weight and a 1/8 oz. shakey head (of course, the plastic will get the weight up depending upon its bulk). I think that this is the "low end" of the rod as a really finesse 1/16 oz. or weightle...

Re: megabass x7 cyclone advantage

I can get one to my door for $230 that is scored a "B" grade. I already have a dedicated jerkbait stick and another I use as squarebill rod. I'm looking for stick to use throwing lipless, topwaters and as a bonus unweighted flukes. That seems like a really nice price (esp. including shipping). I am...

Re: MegaBass worm rod

I have narrowed it down to 2 rods The Dark Sleeper or the 72X X-Bites Having never own or let along held a Megabass rod I think either of these will work for what I want to do. What y'all think Jeff I have both rods. Besides 2" in length, the real difference in the rods is the action. Specifically,...

Re: megabass x7 cyclone advantage

What are your uses for the stick? I have not used it a ton as my fishing time has been a bit more limited than I would like over the last year. However, I really liked the rod for jerkbaits and crankbaits. The action was really good working a jerkbait and I felt like the bend had enough "give" and ...

Re: megabass x7 cyclone advantage

How much would I have to pay to acquire such a stick? I have an Alphas SV with a Zonda spool I HLC spring swapped that I am keeping on the back burner for a trebble hook rod. Something that can handle 30# braid and bomb casts with a 1/2 traps over grass or 3/8 oz poppers. I had it on an xxx BE2 but...

tell us why!!!
Cause it's a great treble hook/spinner bait rod. The X7 range remains MB's best, imo (taking into account all of the models).

Wish that they would do an X7 squared line up!

Do you use PayPal or regular checkout?
Most of the JDM sites I use require paypal over a credit card.

I've used the site you've mentioned and they aren't the cheapest, but offer quick shipping and often have items in stock that other sites don't.
