What's the rationale behind the slanted handle, other then looking cool?

I never personally handle a slant bridge but I think the idea was possible Leverage but really just looks freaking cool IMHO
I'm sure someone with better knowledge will chime in

Butt end being away from your forearm gives you a little more freedom of movement, especially with jerkbaits.
Not to mention, great leverage when locking up under your forearm.

They represent the true nature of enthusiast rods, there's just something about OG MB rods that you can't help but to appreciate and love, the rarity alone makes them a pleasure to own.

They are definitely something!
When I started reading about JDM tackle I was going years and years back looking at old forum posts and it is striking how much more wild the older rods look compared to say the current gen Destroyers.

Welcome to the SB club. There isn't a better rod type made.

Pics seem to show slant goes to one side. Are they available for both sides, or only one? Thanks.

The slant bridge goes "downwards", not to a side

Looks broken. Send them my way so I can properly dispose of them.
