Have you preordered a mb p5 destroyer?
Re: Have you preordered a mb p5 destroyer?
Gary,
I am eyeing the P5 FMJ. What would you consider the upper range of what it can handle? Would it be okay to throw a 3/4 jig with 5 inch twin tail?

Nice. I am looking forward to fishing with mine!bronzefly wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 4:58 pmFlyssa, Addermine, and Javelin are expected "Summer 2023" at this point.
I was out on the water today with 6 casting models and enjoyed my time thoroughly. I think folks are going to be happy with this new series. Some dealers are set to begin receiving and shipping available models next week, but quantities are limited on this first go around it appears!

I'd want the BMG for that application without a doubt. I haven't yet thrown any 3/4 oz jigs with large trailers on the FMJ, but I believe that is on the upper limit of what I'd like based on what I've felt so far.
Looking like you'll get yours next week, Thank you!

Re: Have you preordered a mb p5 destroyer?
I'm excited for guys to get these out on the water soon. The overall feel and versatility of these rods is fantastic as we'd expect from Megabass. I know the general idea is that a flipping stick makes a horrible umbrella rig rod, but since the Jungle Seven didn't need to do any heavy cover flipping/grass fishing, I threw a 3 arm Hog Farmer with small heads/baits on it this past weekend and was pleasantly surprised how well it worked. The J7 has a nice deeper flex to the blank which will certainly add it is versatility rather than being a dedicated flipping stick only...

Thanks Gary! All of us in the North Country truly appreciate a great looking bass picture while we deal with yet another snowstorm today!bronzefly wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 9:19 amI'm excited for guys to get these out on the water soon.

Thank you! I'll be back out slinging baits Saturday. The forecast is sunny and nearing 60 degrees I don't envy the winter conditions my northern friends face, but your summers are amazing and much more pleasant than ours.City17Banner wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 9:30 amThanks Gary!

Yes, Javelin, Flyssa, and Addermine are scheduled for "summer 2023" with no more specific dates just yet.

Thank Gary! Good luck this weekend! I get to take some of my extended family members ice fishing this weekend. Yay me!bronzefly wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 10:30 amThank you!

The only thing interesting about ice fishing these days is using my Lowrance Active Target to find fish!

Re: Have you preordered a mb p5 destroyer?
How's the FMJ balance with something like a Steez A?

Re: Have you preordered a mb p5 destroyer?
I presently have a US Zillion G SV TW on mine and really like the overall feel of that combo and Steez A has the same weight at 6.7 oz.
Guys - several went out today, but due to late in the day arrival, the rest are shipping Monday! I'm off in the AM to give them another workout in the sweet sunny South!

Re: Have you preordered a mb p5 destroyer?
P5 FMJ fit and finish is a 10/10 as expected but:
1. Stiffer tip than anticipated
2. More tip heavy than anticipated
Ice fishing now so no on-the-water review from me anytime soon. Curado 70 mgl xg on the rod
