Addermine gone?

Post by smallies » Fri Sep 11, 2020 12:08 pm

Anyone know why the Addermine is no longer listed on TW? Are they discontinuing it? I would understand if current conditions had them out of stock for a long time, but the rod is no longer even listed...

thehookup and tt both don't seem to have it either. Maybe it is discontinued? Might have to source one quick.

Probably because of breakage issues

I have never heard of breakage issues with addermine or any destroyer spinning model.

Given the popularity in p5s, maybe they're already doing a revamp

I'm interested to hear if Gary has any info on this. I thought the Addermine was a pretty popular rod? Looks like the FMJ is no longer on the TW site either, still up on TTT though.

I assuming the entire line is gone. As certain model is out of stock probably won't see it listed anymore. Could be wrong but I can see them doing the entire lineup over with more durable blanks.

Supply chain issues have hit Megabass just like a lot of companies, especially on rods. There haven't been any XX Braillist available for months, and won't be for months. The Tackle Trap still has quite a few US Destroyer models in stock, including the popular FMJ, Valdiva, Daemos, and Javelin. If any of these are of interest, my suggestion is to get them while you can where you can, NEW from an authorized Megabass of America dealer.

Neither the Addermine or FMJ are being discontinued. Just out of stock.
