Doesnt bryan (love2grabbass) have one ?
If i have the money when they come out, i will do my best to get one... and one of the new evoluzion hedgehogs. Still looking at another Luxxe Oltre and trying an archangel.
Fortunately for my rodlocker, landscaping is expensive!

I would think that the carbon handle would be slippery after it's wet or you get fish slime on it. Not to mention, sitting on the boat deck in the sun that black carbon fiber handle would get HOT.

I own a g loomis is rod with cf handle and it's not the least bit slippery when wet. If you get slim on it it slippery like anything else?
Cf doesn't seem to get hot to the touch just laying out in the sun all day.

The Tackle Trap is officially taking orders for the new ARMS Super Leggera rods! Expect up to 3 months lead time for delivery. They are $999 and a few of the many available "TMP" or Taylor Made Program options can add a little to that total, $25 at most for the Oracle Dragon art work addition. If you are interested in getting one on order as quickly as possible, email me directly at
thetackletrap@gmail.com and I'll forward the order sheet and options list to you along with payment information. We will have more information on our website in the days to come.

Yes they will if purchased through an authorized retailer in the US. All the ARMS rods we've sold in the past have had the same warranty as any other new Megabass rod we've sold.

Here is some more information about their action:
ARMS SUPER LEGGERA ASL6113X - MEDIUM FAST
ARMS SUPER LEGGERA ASL6904X - REGULAR
ARMS SUPER LEGGERA ASL7005X - FAST
ARMS SUPER LEGGERA ASL7206X - MEDIUM FAST
ARMS SUPER LEGGERA ASL7117X - MEDIUM FAST
All are one piece rods except the ASL7117X which has the "off set handle" design common on many of the longer Megabass rods.

what a very nice looking rod!!
But, I'm still wondering about the origin of this rod.
Is it made in japan? or mix china & japan?

It's my understanding that the ARMS rods are made in Japan.

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, which imo, is the best series/range that MB has ever done.

I was looking at the ASL7004XG as a 3/8oz - 1/2oz Jig rod,
IF I decided to spend that kind of money.
Wondering how the balance of the rod is, how fast the taper is and of course how the sensitivity would compare to a NRX.
Thanks for any info!
