Megabass Shoreluck Limited
Megabass Shoreluck Limited
Anyone know what kind of blank these rods use or what they are similar to Megabass wise? I have been looking for a Med or MH 7'4-7'7 for medium to light texas/jigging and considering the SLL-74MHC,
I notice that the 15 Sherlock uses Mitsubishi's Pyrofil just like what 13 Fishing is for their Archangel blanks too.
"We are in fact using Pyrofil from Mitsubishi Rayon on a few of our blanks going forward. The first two rods you will see from us utilizing MR Pyrofil carbon fibers are the Archangel and the MUSE."

I guess there is only one way to find out if the blank is good.. I just ordered one. $300 doesn't sound bad for a Pyrofil rod and my IS79 needs a home anyways.

I want shoreluck series just for the design. The thread wraps on the blanks is simply stunning.

Yeah, that and the kanji writings look sick. Reminds me of the Gamakatsu rods that have kanji writings up to the first guide.

I have a Shoreluck SLL-68ULS limited I picked up on here for a steal. I can confirm they are ridiculously stunning and the torzite micro guides are tiny!!! I love that rod.

Could you take some pictures of your Shoreluck outside?

Re: Megabass Shoreluck Limited
I have the Shoreluck SLL-68ULS Limited. I have put it through its paces. I am an avid UL angler and in a span of 2 months ordered 7 UL rods out of Japan last December. I love the Shoreluck. But I have to admit even though it has been tested on everything from 12 inch shell crackers to 21 inch Smallies I find it hard to use anymore. The rod just looks too darn good. I throw a 1/64 Trout Magnet with a size B split shot and get great casting distance using 2# test. Sensitivity is off the charts for me. I have rods that I paid more money for....I bought the Shoreluck for 240 bucks on sale......but it is the rod I try to protect the most....but it is a great rod.

My SLL-74MHC came in and it looks very nice. I wanted to go out this weekend to test it, but it looks like a super humid day... 93+ with no wind and nearly 90% humid.

Hey, Pen!!
You have described pretty much EVERY summer day in The Southeast Louisians Swamps.
( the secret is us Swamp guys have evolved and grow gills behind our ears. )
Where is the best place to get this rod?

Re: Megabass Shoreluck Limited
I got mine from Japan Angler and there was 1 left, but now it is sold out.
Re: Megabass Shoreluck Limited
I had one, but it was too nice to fish with. I was afraid I was going to break it walking through the woods. Great rod though. Very light, sensitive. At least someone on the board is enjoying it now !
