Re: Killer Heat rods
City17Banner is correct. Killer Heat are basically a "budget line" for Designo. I believe they're built on DG4 or DG5 blanks. They share similarities in terms of models with their Leben and Leben Torque Tune counterparts.

Re: Megabass VS. Shimano Jerkbait Rod
I know the Expride is widely considered one of the best but I'm holding off until I can get a better reel to pair one with. I think you're answer is right here. Just grab the Expride and pair it with the SLX. The SLX won't "hinder" the rod in any way aka the Expride will perform just fine with that...

Re: Megabass Destroyer P5 2024 Additional Models
Kirisame bait strategist looks sweet. Longer BFS style rods are always hard to come by. Glad to see Megabass pump one out. Even better that it's the carbon fiber style handles.

Re: Longer, high end, versatile rod suggestions?
+1 to the X7 EM and P3 Nautilus
There are various other JDM rods that can do what you ask but their length is too low. Hard to find longer length JDM offerings.

Re: Designo Leben Torque Tune dlt-610mhrst 4s
I don’t have this rod. I would get this rod if the opportunity presented itself. It sounds like an ultimate treble bait rod-squarebills, jerkbaits and such. Not really designed for trebles, even though it has a deeper bend. The 4s represents the speed of the tip section. 2s is better served for mov...

Re: Midway USA Shimano mystery box
There's no guarantee on how much of that $500 value is tackle and how much of it is the reel. So I'd be wary, I wouldn't want to spend over 300 bucks on a $250 reel and assorted tackle... Speaking generally, assorted tackle always seems to end up being items that shops can't sell so they just off-l...

Re: All new steez sv tw
Based on the website it looks like it'll be 77200 Yen. Exchange rate has that around 517 USD. Factoring in importing and stuff it'll probably be 600-700 MSRP. YipeeHogsticker2 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2023 5:06 pmHope the cost isn't good to be outrageous, but I'm definitely interested.

Re: DREWLESCH : Feedback Request Topic
I see a lot of posts above stating good experiences so I'm not sure what the heck happened. Bought a rod and it took over a month to ship. He had TERRIBLE communication. I only got tracking info and a text message AFTER I filed a paypal claim. Only upside to this was the rod packaging. I get that li...

Alphas frame made out of magnsium, 30-31mm spool and colors, i want colors (no black, gray or silver, give me actual colors). Compared to the new zillion frame, i find the steez tw extremely outdated, so this frame needs...

I'm surprised that this rod hasn't been talked about. Anybody pull the trigger yet? Interested in the foxy if anybody has on the water experience. Thanks I have both casting models from the Designo Wraith series. The blanks that these rods have are DG6+ which are between DG6 and DG7. Both of my mod...

Re: What Questions would you have for a new rod company
+1 For questions on the blank. Are you sourcing your blanks from somewhere or are they rolled in house?Hogsticker2 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2023 7:55 pmAll about that blank. Manufacturing process, materials used including graphite materials and how they are rolled, where on the blank they are utilized, etc.
