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

Megabass of America has no plans to sell rods directly to consumers. They actually support their authorized dealersBRONZEBACK32 wrote:When will these be sold directly from Megabass?

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.

Got to check out a Bunker Buster today. I think that one will be quite popular

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.BRONZEBACK32 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2019 12:13 pmAlso maybe you could check something for me.

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 longbronzefly wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2019 4:50 amThe Flyssa and Brigand handles are the same length - a bit more than 1/4" longer than the Addermine as pictured.

Re: Megabass US Destoyer new models added to lineup
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 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...evilcatfish wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2019 6:39 amWhat’s the handle length on the bunker buster?

Re: Megabass US Destoyer new models added to lineup
Fished the flyssa for the first time today what a fantastic rod threw hair jigs and 2.8 keitechs for smallmouth it
Handeld those baits great , the rod is just such a fun rod to fish. Big shout out to Gary at The tackle trap for the
Rod and line recommendation

Re: Megabass US Destoyer new models added to lineup
Very curious about the flyssa. Would this be a good all around finesse rod 1/8-1/4oz?

Re: Megabass US Destoyer new models added to lineup
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....
Re: Megabass US Destoyer new models added to lineup
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.
Re: Megabass US Destoyer new models added to lineup
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?
