Pricing is decent - from $199 to $217 depends from the model you choose.
Add $40 UPS Express Saver shipping and you good to go!
Paying a few extra dollars for the warranty from Tackle Trap would be worth it for me then. I'd probably go the other way if it was over $100 in savings though. But that's a really good price regardless. Been eyeing the destruction...
Nice price, but I also am wary of the idea of a rod shipping overseas... I know TTT packages theirs well and takes care of you if anything happens to it along the way.

I received my XXX F4-65K Japan Angler yesterday. Is a nice looking rod love the grip and the handle length. I Will be ordering another one from TTT since I didn't know TTT was going to sell this models. Or maybe I'll wait for the US destroyers.

Hey Gary. Any idea if the Super Orochi will handle 1 oz swimbaits such as the I Slide 135 as the description suggests? May be searching for a short rod to throw small glide baits with from the bank. Thanks

I'd be reaching for the Destruction in that line up for the 135 myself based on specs. My guess not having handled them is that bait would really be pushing it for the Super Orochi.

Nice! Have some pics of the guides? Are the guides roughly the size as the 2016 new destroyers?

After reading that, my head hurts. Lol what exactly is "bus?" per Google Translate?
