Both the Warhammer and Onager are stunning in regards to how light and balanced they are. They simply delivered big time with these two.bronzefly wrote:Agreed. I'll likely pair a Warhammer with an original Zillion variant when punching season rolls around. It also feels nice on that rod and will work really well swinging 1oz. plus tungsten into the cabbage!zodiak311 wrote: I like the balance point for the Warhammer, especially for punching!
I have never held a better balanced, better feeling big bait rod. It is shocking how light that combo feels in hand. I could easily see a Conquest 300 or any number of other reels of that size and weight being equally as well balanced and comfortable. Once the word gets out, this rod will become VERY popular with big bait guys. Great work Megabass!!Chode wrote:wow, the balance of that onager is crazy, especially since it's such a heavy powered rod

Re: First look at Megabass Destroyer USA rods
Just got the sticks yesterday.
Re: First look at Megabass Destroyer USA rods
And the same spot as on my Valdiva. I think they are all balanced that way.
Re: First look at Megabass Destroyer USA rods
Just came home to the Valdivia. It seems like it's going to be a great rod. Sold an NRX 894 to get it. My first impression is I won't regret it. Aesthetically it no contest, Valdivia wins by a landslide. Balance is another point for the Valdivia and overall just feels better in hand. Tough to say weather it will be as sensitive but time will tell. Can't wait to get it on the water.

Re: First look at Megabass Destroyer USA rods
That's good to know. Megabass really not known for high end sensitivity, they make pretty rods though. $400 for a moving bait rod is out of my price rangeRevofisher wrote:yeah let me do some research on how to post pics on here. it balanced right above the locking nut with a tatula sv on it. I now put a sv 103 on the rod i ended up catching three fish while checking it out. i know its too soon i literally only fished it for 2 hours, but it is definitely one of my favorite rods. In my hands i had no trouble feeling any of the bites, and felt the bottom really well. It is not NRX sensitive but i was not counting on it to be. Its hard at this point but i almost want to say equal to my 2016 glx 853. I am very pleased with the balance and sensitivity of the rod and i can say the quality is great for a beautiful rod. The two smaller fish i caught came out of the water!! so this rod can handle some hook sets with your back into it.
Re: First look at Megabass Destroyer USA rods
I just received my FMJ today from TTT. The rod feels well balanced and it's lighter than I expected. The rod looks absolutely gorgeous and screams quality. The purple thread wraps match up well with my Steez SV TW 8.1. I hope the FMJ performs as well as it looks and feels. I'll be putting the combo through it's paces next week.
Re: First look at Megabass Destroyer USA rods
I haven't fished it but I tied the line off and tested the taper. I would say it is a true extra fast but not with a soft tip like an NRX 893 for example. The power is definitely evident in the tip and quickly gets into more power. I plan on using mine to make long casts and drag football jigs. I think it will be perfect,for what I like in a rod to do so. When I fish it I'll give you more details.Black Haze wrote:Let me know how u like the rod after fishing it...do u feel its a true ex fast?

Re: First look at Megabass Destroyer USA rods
After seeing all these pics, these rods look too pretty NOT to have one. Maybe the 7'2 or 7'5 model would be good for spinnerbaits, chatterbaits and swim jigs. Should be a few reviews out before TW next 15% & 20% off sales and that price wouldn't be so bad for a moving bait rod. The new steez looks awesome on it!

Re: First look at Megabass Destroyer USA rods
You guys are absolutely killing me! There are at least three that I'd love to add to my arsenal right now, but I'm working with Matt on a custom right now, and I am about as far from made of money as anyone can be. All that being said, I'm going to have a really hard time making it through the next week without ordering one, and I'm thinking Javelin.
Re: First look at Megabass Destroyer USA rods
Anyone finally gonna come up with all weights for these rods?
Re: First look at Megabass Destroyer USA rods
Haven't ordered rods, but there baits aren't. Just have to call in just like all the other exclusions on there listChode wrote:Hennessy wrote:After seeing all these pics, these rods look too pretty NOT to have one.
