New Megabass Destroyers
Saw a post last night regarding a new destroyer release out of Japan. Wondering if/when they will make it stateside? Everyone hide your wallets
Re: New Megabass Destroyers
Hopefully a resurrected Destroyer X7 lineup
Re: New Megabass Destroyers
Can you share where you saw the post?

Re: New Megabass Destroyers
If the “dark sleeper” model is indeed intended for the dark sleeper then I’m thinking it will be a nice tube rod as well. May have to get one....

Yes, saw it on THUT instagram story. I also noticed one looks to be a chris zaldain signature model with some sort of carbon fiber grip.
Hopefully M Perry will see this post and can give us some more detail as to if they are coming stateside and if so, when.
They have some cool new lures too; a smaller i Wing and crawfish style dark sleeper.

Any pics? Instagram only let's me browse for a few seconds...don't have an account.
Re: New Megabass Destroyers
I don’t have social media accounts either, but asked to use my wife’s. Wonder if the video was taken down? Only saw videos with older material ca. ‘19. No new destroyers or baits. The Keep cast video was cool though; those shows in Japan are so much better than Icast.
Re: New Megabass Destroyers
They won’t be getting my money, the new destroyers look cheap IMO... Oh well, I need to cut back on my fishing purchases anyway!

Re: New Megabass Destroyers
I watched another video that stated they are due out this summer. I was getting ready to buy a Javelin but now I may wait for the new line to come out. They apparently feature new graphite called "5-D" which is supposed to be lighter and stronger than the current line.

Re: New Megabass Destroyers
It looked like the rods are using a new reel seat design with an even smaller trigger

I can't find anything on social media...
Re: New Megabass Destroyers
Yeah the lock nut is the part really killing it for me, not too sure about the new reel seat either. I guess I blazed through the rest and didn’t see the revoltage rods...evilcatfish wrote: ↑Sat Feb 08, 2020 5:40 amI will say that lock nut doesn’t do much for me. However, I really like the nut on the revoltage rods they showed
