So who's gotten their hands on a Bunker Buster? Keep telling myself I "need" this rod.

When will these be sold directly from Megabass?

Megabass of America has no plans to sell rods directly to consumers. They actually support their authorized dealers =D>

That's right, my bad.

I was just wondering when they would put those new models on their site.

Also maybe you could check something for me.
Does the Flyssa have the same length of handle as the Addermine?
How does the Flyssa feel in hand?

Thanks.

How does the OTOMAT compare to the Oneten Special? I use the Oneten for top and jerk baits and love it.

The Flyssa and Brigand handles are the same length - a bit more than 1/4" longer than the Addermine as pictured. I've been fishing both now only for a short period of time, but as expected, they feel great in hand.

Of course it's longer and has a more moderate action. I fished the prototype last fall and was immediately impressed. I have the production model now and am really happy with it. Some guys prefer that deeper flex in the blank when fishing both jerk baits, cranks, and top waters. The Otomat has that while retaining that crisp, light, sensitive feel of the Megabass Destroyer models.

What’s the handle length on the bunker buster? I like that it’s a longer full handle but am hoping it’s not onager long

It's not as long as the Onager, which is one excellently balanced big bait rod by the way, neither is Mark 48 which I used to land a giant blue cat below Guntersville dam this week :lol: Clearly a tough rod... I'll work on some pics, we have both of them at the shop and open back up Monday. Bunker Buster is going to be a popular big jig/plastic/c-rig rod I do believe, as well as a fantastic punch rod short of where Warhammer falls...

Very curious about the flyssa. Would this be a good all around finesse rod 1/8-1/4oz?

I got mine yesterday and fished it, its a awesome rod, I will definitely work for those sizes.

The build is amazing like always, I paired mine up with a Shimano Excense, but I might get a new Certate 19 in the future
and see how that works.

Its super sensitive and damn fun to fish, I like the Flyssa over the Addermine....

I just ordered a Flyssa as well... Can not wait to get my hands on it! At this point in time I plan to pair it with a Daiwa Luvias 300H. \:D/

I got few questions for Flyssa owners.
1.What line do you fish with?
2. Do you thing it's good choice for small weightless worms, 1/16 jigs and small trailers, etc?
3. It's light power rod. Doesn't feel whippy in your hands?
