I was going to pull the trigger on at least 3 XX rods within the next few weeks, but now I'm gonna have to wait until I can get more info on the Destroyer rods... I'm afraid my wallet is going to deflate even further than I'd originally thought. :whistle:

I picked a lousy week to stop drinking... Oh wait! I didn't quit. Scotch will see me through.

TT posted an image on Instagram. Looks like there's a F5-75X Javelin model 3/8-1oz. Kind of blurry hard to see.

A few folks have the full line up but out of respect for the wishes of Megabass, we have not and will not release detailed information until they've given the ok. Trust me, I'm as excited as anyone to get this information out there. I'll have them all up and listed on The Tackle Trap with all the details we can get as soon as it's a go!

Except that they don't look anything alike. (Atleast not any of the ones that show up in a google image search...)

Yes, cause you're talking about the first generation... the second gen is very different, but there's no one in google. In France we seen it and tested all the série, presented in Clermont-Ferrand 2017 by Yuki Ito.

Similar styling because it's Megabass, but different. The US Destroyer rods feature mostly cork grips - some mixed cork and EVA.

I don't know if MB really developped 2 new series of blanks, or if they took the same for both and just changed the grips...
But in US you can be proud cause you've got the most beautiful serie :crying:
