What the F-Power? Megabass's F3-611XXS Drop Shot Rod

What the F-Power? Megabass's Drop Shot is Going to Double XX The Competition!

Image

Introduction:
There comes a time in most boutique, enthusiast brand's time when the manufacturer has to choose between two paths: 1) stay true to what is perceived to be yourself and cater to the very small but loyal following you've built; 2) take what you've learned together with the reputation you've built, and open yourself up to an even greater audience. After more than 20 years in the industry, Megabass can hardly be considered a boutique brand, but they do command a rather loyal following each of whom has certain expectations of the manufacturer. Well with the recent introduction of their DoubleX series of rods, Megabass, together with their new international subsidiary, Megabass of America, is looking to walk that very fine line between not upsetting their loyal fans, and expanding their audience beyond the Enthusiast market. Here is our first in a planned series of reviews on this new line, introducing the Orochi XX F3-611XXS Drop Shot.

i noticed the descrepancy in the review between the specified weight of 4.1 ounces and your measured weight of 5.3 ounces. i just got mine and put it on my scale and it is exactly 4.1 ounces. is that a typo in your review?
