Megabass rods

[Cranky]

In my experience some ppl just break way way way more rods consistently than others. Can be for any number of reasons. I’ve had quite a few MB over the years and have mostly moved on to other stuff. They make lots of beautiful rods but I’m not a collector. When you’re in those high end price points variety is the spice of life.

agreed, my fishing buddy does a great job breaking mb rods from high sticking, tachyon hook sets and vacuum cleaners. luckily, our local shop has a great return policy.

I have over 30 MB rods currently and have sold a dozen more and only had two breakages. Both my fault. XX Amart Flipping Specials, one was a fish ripped over the boat that broke the rod as it came down behind me, the other was jammed into brush as I was motoring in to get a stuck fish in a tournament. The G1 XX's and 2015 X7's are the newest I own though, I dont care for the newer line of rods and the materials.

I’ve owned two dozen or more MB rods (X4s, G1XX, 2019 Levante and 2017 destroyers US and JDM) and never had any issues with any of them. I keep mine in rod jackets and watch how I treat them. I notice a lot of people that I take fishing with me don’t understand or even know what high sticking is/does to a rod or that grabbing the rod out towards the tip trying to land a fish is a no no. Every manufacturer is going to have some defects, from what I’ve seen MB takes care of their customers.

I have a evo xti that I deeply love. The 2016 and USA destroyers are very similar, broke a Faust and a FMJ, left me scratching my head both times. I loved my Fausts too but there is that "when is it going to snap" in the back of my mind.
