Megabass 2022 USDM P5 models ?!?

Post by jmb27 » Fri Mar 04, 2022 9:21 am

Any more details on these? @Bronzefly

Saw a quick vid and late '22 release. Real excited as I'm quite enjoying the current P5 rods. =D>

2022 USDM Megabass Destroyer P5s

Post by TNBankFishing » Fri Mar 04, 2022 11:10 am

The hook up posted a video on YouTube of the new USDM models. I’m officially hyped. Can’t wait for TTT to open up pre-orders.

The FMJ, and Daemos are going to fit in perfectly with my current rotation. Really hoping we see a new Javelin, I still kick myself for not buying more before they were discontinued.

Please tell me the Javelin is coming. There was a hint in that video there were two more models on the way. Jav and Otomat or ML spinning are my pipe dreams.

Not going to say where I may have heard it from and it maybe it's false... but the other two models will be Jav and Flyssa released in 2023 spring/summer.

Yes please! The FMJ is my favorite jig rod. Not sure I'm going to upgrade, but I've been mortally afraid that it would break and that I couldn't get a replacement (looks like the new rod is going to be 2 inches longer and officially maxes out at 1oz, though). Glad to have the Addermine back, as well; the F3.5 power is that perfect middle ground where you can still finesse but also throw light t-rigs. Not too stoked about the identical P5 styling, but maybe that's just me.

This is the announce btw, they're not expected to shop until winter 22. Video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLu_uInt86E

With these rods costing $500 - $550 the days of Destroyers being a steal are officially over, though. I thought that USDM Destroyers at $400 were a steal - cheaper than GLX, better sensitivity.

Been awaiting this announcement. Pity the addermine has the new handle design. No way I am paying $500 for a spinning rod with that handle. Guess I am going to grab a STEEZ spinning rod instead.

Big megabass fan. Not a fan of the P5 handle design. I never bought one of the JDM P5’s and I’m not sure if I’ll buy the USDM P5’s. No way am I buying a spinning rod with those tiny grips, and I hate the small butt grips on the casting models. I was hoping that would change with the USDM models. Shame, I really want a oneten stick. I may get the new 6’10 expride instead and save $250.

Wish the handle changed too! Darn. They had a great design on the previous gen.

Finally an expected date... Yuskei whispered this to us a couple years ago, but of course the global supply chain issue has severely impacted roll out. =D>

Are you getting any to test/review ahead of the release?

A Daemos and the Mark56 caught my eye. If I didn’t already have two One Ten Sticks….

I like the handle design and have really enjoyed the P5 rods that I have.
