i do wish they would say what guides they put on them, can tell from the pics that they are a tangle free design (on the spinning rods anyways) but no mention of brand or insert material.

Appear to be black Fuji SS/Alconites. Like the new Destroyers.

Are these rods going to be available stateside? Or will it just be ordering from a Japanese site?

Price point looks great, especially with the current dollar/yen exchange rate.

Just came across some new intel on the Orochi XXX (i hope this is no repost):

http://www.megabass.co.jp/site/informat ... chixxx_sp/

If you look closer a the page you will come across the technique recommendations for the specific models in their line up and there even is a complete chart that compares the models. At least Shimano has done these kind of chart quite some time now for their rods and i am somewhat thankful for them, giving a coarse overview over the lineup.

But i also have a bit of a struggle with them, especially on how far I can rely on this judgment as to which model suits what technique (may it be subjective, objective or what ever). For example how much should I be reconsidering on pulling the trigger on the F2.5-67K (with throwing light (5g) texas rigs arround) just because Megabass does mention the use of said "light texas-rig" for the black themis?

What is your Opinion? Can we rely on this type of recommendations or are they for people complete new to the subject just to give the e rough overview or are they completely random?

Pretty sure they are a JDM rod only. Gary said earlier in the thread he may get some. If he does they probably will be higher price but will be able to get you warrantee. I am just assuming this. But that seems to be how it usually works. I would rather pay a little more and get the warranty.

When looking at the description of the rods on The Tackle Trap website, if you'll notice at the bottom left hand side, there is a rod deflection chart for each model in the series. Some folks might find this information useful. Click on the small icon and it will bring up a larger version that's easy to view.

That mat bucker has my eye. Looks like a fun rod to skip under overhangs with.

Really liking this feature. Hoping that MB continues to offer these deflection charts moving forward!
