I can confirm that select new models will be available in the US. Trying to nail down a hard release date. I will also post the models selected when I am cleared to do so.

Great news! Hopefully the Dark Sleeper is amongst the models that will be available.

I'm assuming that you can pre-order from the fine folks @ TTT?

Should be easy to as soon as they are in the system.

Maybe I missed it; where did everyone see the info on "The Dark Sleeper" Destroyer? It wasn't in the link of new models.

If you look at the linked page there are links to two other plages that cover all the P7 and under models.

Absolutely. As soon as we have the green light, they will be available for pre-order with more information.

I have the new Megabass catalog and it is in there, F4.5-71X, 1/4 - 1 oz, 8 - 20lb. line, Fast action. There are some really interesting models coming in this new line. I'm excited to get my hands on a few of them. F5.5-72X "The X-Bites" with an extra fast action caught my attention immediately as I'm a bottom contact rod fanatic.

Where can we find this catalog ?

I don't know my friend, mine came from Megabass but I've been fortunate enough to earn a little bit of access over the years.

With the spinning models and casting models, or on a different page? I don't see it. Would appreciate a link.

edit: Ah, found it. https://plus.luremaga.jp/_ct/17338311

I already have a dark sleeper rod, its called a NRX 843

I’m thinking the dark sleeper will definitely be my new tube and finesse jig rod, though the configuration makes me think it could do a lot more. The X-bites is intriguing as well. Any idea where the price point will be on these?

Boom.

Yeah, I saw a few models that I’d like—do I need to keep excitedly pushing F5, or will we get a heads up on the pre-order period?

Agreed, I expect it to be a nicely versatile rod. Price point will be above US Destroyer of course, but hopefully not by a significant margin. I will be happy to provide that information once a production release date has been established.

Absolutely, as soon as we get approval and a final landed date, we will make a post on Facebook and Instagram, and of course, I'll make a pre-order post over in the "Tackle E-Tailers/Retailers" section. Be patient however... it may not be as soon as we all hope.

I'm really stoked to see the Pop X Stick make the cut. The shorter (X4) Oneten Stick as well.

Really hoping the coronavirus doesn't cause a delay in the release of these rods. Sounds like its taking a severe toll on Asian production

Looks like its going to take a toll world wide, its just a matter of time.

Be safe out there and try to avoid others....

This sucks
