7'1-7'2 MH or H, fast, please.

You have two options. One of the new rods is a highly versatile 72MH, not extremely fast tapered, but fast enough and sensitive enough for single hook bottom contact without a doubt, among many other uses. Another is a 71H designed as a jig stick and it's sweet too

at first glance, these don't seem to be technique specific but i'd rather not jump to any conclusions until actual specs r posted

They were designed with specific applications in mind, however, in my limited time on the water with them, they will work nicely for things outside of those specific applications.

Do you have a table with specs for a new 2017 Destroyer series?

Was at TTT week and looked at one, it was a beautiful rod.

I have the specs, yes. I can not post them at this time however. Not sure why the spec sheets for the XXX rods would be posted in this thread however

This is just an example. Wish Megabass would create a spec sheet like that for all series of rods they make.

Here are a couple of quick photos guys... They look and feel great! $399 US pricing As far as a comparison to XXX, I haven't fished them, but I have the 2017 US Destroyers, and my Megabass experience tells me that the US rods will be FAR superior across the board.

With my microscope, I see that the 3rd one from the top in the first picture starts with F4...Wondering if that's the one that has the TD-Ito w/the Little Jon tied on in the second picture

Good eye you're correct, that's the Oneten Special, and it does handle a Vision 110 very nicely as you'd expect given it's name... and the Spro LJ, and a bunch of other treble moving baits

I fished the SV103 on the 7'1" Heavy jig stick and the 7'6" heavy frog stick, that felt more like a jig stick, and the SV103 felt right at home on both. I had the Z200H on the punching rod and really liked how it felt on there too, but I think the SV103 or an original Zillion would be a good choice for that rod too. On the lighter end, the one ten rod felt great with the Ito 103 or any Steez/TDZ/IS variant, even an Alphas/Sol/Pixy variant would be nice. On the heavier end, the F10 rod would likely benefit from a true big bait reel.

That's the first MB rod that I like the look/design of. When they will allow you Gary please give some weights on the rods
