Interesting. Do we know a price point?

I have heard that these have adjustable handles, guessing like those ABUs from a few years ago, kind of gimmicky if you ask me.

Re: Megabass Valkyrie Rods
Thanks. Can't say I've ever got the point of an adjustable handle. I've never been fishing and thought I wish I could shorten this handle.
Re: Megabass Valkyrie Rods
Whatever the handle may do, I think those look pretty sweet. I like Eva and a split grip now and again and I'm glad that new reel seat has not completely taken over. I especially like the lock nut assembly. I'm not a fan of everything starting to look plastic on everything and this rod looks pretty mad max metal. I'd like to know more about the blank.
Re: Megabass Valkyrie Rods
Found this video of grip adjustment. Hope it works. Might need to scroll down to video.

Re: Megabass Valkyrie Rods
Here they are. Priced like premium rods. You can fish em with handle closed/full grip style.
Love the looks of these! Unfortunately, only one casting rod in the entire lineup is fast action.
(I've gotten to where I want a fast action for everything, including treble/moving baits. I just get a better hook up ratio(especially at long range) & higher landing percentage with a fast rod, plus I prefer the 'snap' hookset to 'sweep'. Anywho.)
But I bet that 76xxh with the handle shorted(closed) would make for an outstanding lunker punker rod!

Re: Megabass Valkyrie Rods
I remember getting a Veritas or whatever they're called. The Adjustable crap broke before it got on the water . On Abu it was trash, but on MB im sure it'll be great. Short handle for jerkbaits and a longer one for spinnerbaits on a Medium powered rod could be nice.

Re: Megabass Valkyrie Rods
From what I'm hearing, these rods are all a 40% glass 60% graphite blended blank with a "power" concept. As soon as I have more info, I'll post it up on the site and take orders if anyone wants to try these out...

Re: Megabass Valkyrie Rods
So JDM only, I assume?
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Better buy updated Orochi line up than those...
Handles look terrible.
