No warehouse needed. Just ample attic space. :lol:

I am very happy with my black jungle power versatile paired with M-ito. Recently added C40 griffon to the lineup. Next up is a jig rod.

good luck finding that perfect jig rod. Only the Phase 3 line up comes close to a NRX

You can't go wrong with an NRX jig rod. There are numerous individual Megabass rods in various series that rival individual NRX rods with regard to sensitivity however. Ease of access to those, cost, and warranty may or may not be issues for you however. The current 2016 Destroyer line are excellent rods that I'm more impressed with the more I fish them. I haven't felt like I've been missing any bites due to a lack of sensitivity.

Depending on what you want from a jig rod, the 2016 Destroyers have a few interesting suspects in the line up. I want a Faust personally. My Power Versatile is lonely! :lol:

Iwas wondering what others would go after ? An old school slantbridge or the Arms leggera?

I have just about all of the Slantbridge rods. They are my absolute favorite rods to use and will do so until I am a crotchety old man.

Hey KYTY,

There is some wealth there in terms of outlay and knowledge you will have of Megabass rods in general. It would be great if you could do a show and tell and let everybody know your combos and the techniques you use for each rod. It's always fun to know how others make use of the Megabass versatility. After all, who would have thought that the Megabass P3 Nautilus makes a sensitive bottom contact rod, the X7 Diablo Fast move a 1/2oz jig rod, the Evoluzion F4-610XDti Elseil, the best Jerkbait rod or the light powered Evoluzion C40 F2-67ti Themis would be awesome with 1/2oz top waters.
