Feeling Slanty
Acquired these rods, handle is crooked, looks somewhat broken, but they're very unique in their own little way, so I'll just hang on to them in hopes of fixing them eventually.

Damn sexy specimens!!
Re: Feeling Slanty
What's the rationale behind the slanted handle, other then looking cool?
Re: Feeling Slanty
I never personally handle a slant bridge but I think the idea was possible Leverage but really just looks freaking cool IMHO I'm sure someone with better knowledge will chime in

Butt end being away from your forearm gives you a little more freedom of movement, especially with jerkbaits.Houndfish wrote:What's the rationale behind the slanted handle, other then looking cool?
Not to mention, great leverage when locking up under your forearm.
Great review by Cal http://www.tackletour.com/reviewmbxfti.html
They represent the true nature of enthusiast rods, there's just something about OG MB rods that you can't help but to appreciate and love, the rarity alone makes them a pleasure to own.

When I started reading about JDM tackle I was going years and years back looking at old forum posts and it is striking how much more wild the older rods look compared to say the current gen Destroyers.

Re: Feeling Slanty
Pics seem to show slant goes to one side. Are they available for both sides, or only one? Thanks.
Re: Feeling Slanty
The slant bridge goes "downwards", not to a side .
Re: Feeling Slanty
Looks broken. Send them my way so I can properly dispose of them.
