Monoblock Appreciation Society.
Re: Monoblock Appreciation Society.
I've already told you a zillion times what I think of your collection, bro. Needless to say, after seeing your newest addition, you're still king of the 'block.

Re: Monoblock Appreciation Society.
That is an absolutely ill collection of Monoblocks. The stuff of dreams right there!
Re: Monoblock Appreciation Society.
While I agree that MB should start up a new series...These will never become less "speciale" though. Can't downplay these, as there's nothing more beautiful out there in terms of rounders IMO. These are true works of art, and absolutely amazing to fish with in my hands.

While the Nambu is a "mono block", it's I'ze Factory and not Megabass.aussiebasser wrote:11,RISE wrote:I'm in it for the long haul, but...I have to agree.

Isn't the 100XR a Daiwa and not a Megabass though?Teal101 wrote:While the Nambu is a "mono block", it's I'ze Factory and not Megabass.

Re: Monoblock Appreciation Society.
The 100XR was a collaboration between Ito, I'ze and Daiwa. (The Megabass name didn't appear on it or the box or paperwork) It was distributed by Daiwa dealers, not Megabass dealers. Imported to Australia by Daiwa Australia, same as the Nambu Shikki.Teal101 wrote:Nope it is a true MB reel, first true block.aussiebasser wrote:Isn't the 100XR a Daiwa and not a Megabass though?Teal101 wrote:While the Nambu is a "mono block", it's I'ze Factory and not Megabass.
If you look closely at this picture you will see the Daiwa logo, the I'ze Factory logo and the Ito logo. No mention of Megabass.

Re: Monoblock Appreciation Society.
You would be correct. It is featured in the 2007 Megabass catalog as a concept reel between Daiwa and Megabass. So it is akin the the Nambu and really a custom Millionaire...
