Looking for a swim bait rod 2-5 oz

[Cal]

Strange... I’ve put my Onager through a great deal of use and abuse and haven’t had an issue.

Zander recently broke his after a year’s worth of use but he was high sticking a fish in his excitement.

Megabass destroyer T.S Black jack is the one your looking for

First day out with the Onager yesterday.

First impressions, light and well balanced. For some reason it reminds me of the Steez XBD frog rod, in a larger more powerful version.

Could not experience much of it, since after maybe 30mins of fishing, the rod snapped (after the 3rd guide).

Looks like this is a common issue with the Onager. Wondering what to do when I get the replacement from Megabass...

Ugh. Sorry to hear man. Yeah that’s a tough one. Check out the customer reviews on that rod line on TW.

Went with the KLX that Cal was suggesting (250 USD with expedited shipping) so that I have a rod until the Megbass comes back.

It just sucks that I have to:

1) Spend time and money to get the rod shipped back to them
2) Waste time for the rod to be replaced.

You would hope that a company that sells a higher priced rod like this, would offer a better warranty.

Ordered one from the Hookup Tackle. It will replace the Onager, that I will sell when it returns.

The KLX will become my saltwater big stick!

I don’t have an onager but I do have a few USA destroyers, one of which I broke and the build between the 2 rod series is night and day. Not saying there is anything wrong with the USA destroyer but for big baits I like the build of the t.s. I got mine from the hookup as well and I have thrown 5 oz’s with it no problem. I think you made the right choice.

Yeah, I hope so too! Got her for 500USD (which is already more than what I wanted to pay), but I hope it will be the THE rod that I am looking for.

I really like the Low Down Custom rods for swimbaits. You would want either the H or MH for those sizes. I have a MH and XH and they fill everything from 1.5-8 oz baits.

Now when you're familiar with secret art of rodbuilding, you should try American Tackle Bushido 3K's.
