There are always some projects in the pipeline both in Japan and here in the US. When I am cleared to share info I will post more on some possible new releases and if they will be US releases as well.jerkbait22 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 2:45 pmYes, saw it on THUT instagram story. I also noticed one looks to be a chris zaldain signature model with some sort of carbon fiber grip.
Hopefully M Perry will see this post and can give us some more detail as to if they are coming stateside and if so, when.
They have some cool new lures too; a smaller i Wing and crawfish style dark sleeper.

Yeah; I was hoping Cristo might post a gif to illustrate my inability to see anything. I can’t figure out where people are finding these videos.

Possibly speaking of the Destroyer Laiha, which was expos'ed here a while back. They have the actual models and pics on the website now. Maybe not..Gone Phishin wrote: ↑Sat Feb 08, 2020 2:44 pmYup, nothing here either.
Reminds me of the Heritage line (1/99), which you can still buy new in stores to this day...

Sweet looking rods, besides the super-filled cork

I too saw it on THUT's instagram, those instagram story videos disappear after 24hrs or something. There is a new Destroyer being debuted at the Osaka show. New blank, "5-D graphite". This is all I could find on it

Re: New Megabass Destroyers
Alright ladies and gents. These must be them. I’m digging the handle nut personally. And the carbon grip models gave me a bit of a megab...r. Even the handles are nicer this way. Can’t wait to read more about the actually technology. The previous (current) new destroyer bummed me out (please don’t take offense). However, these latest sabers look promising...

Re: New Megabass Destroyers
Those new rods look sick! I'm with you about the new Destroyers, not that impressed with the baitcasters. Do love the Addermine though.

Re: New Megabass Destroyers
The nuts do look a little better in those still shots than in the Instagram video, eager to see the individual model specs now.Polkfish1 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 09, 2020 6:00 pmAlright ladies and gents.

Those are new additions to the Japan series Destroyers. There has not been a decision made yet as per them being added to US catalogor not. If it is decided to do so I will post it on this thread.

Appreciate you sharing what you can. One does look to have Chris Zaldain’s signature on it?

Re: New Megabass Destroyers
I like how the casting models look and the reel seat, not the spinning so much, the reel seat on the spinning rods remindsMike son wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 6:12 pmIn the link polkfish posted, you can go back to the article and shown are the spinning models

Re: New Megabass Destroyers
A shame if they are not. Would love to have The Dark Sleeper and another model or 2.
Any word on release dates in Japan?
