Megabass levante
Re: Megabass levante
Also wanted to add that the new Levantes come with a zippered MB rod sleeve.

Thanks! The Fury 795c is 13" for reference.M Perry wrote: From rear edge of reel seat to butt of rod is 15 1/2" on new Levante Leviathan
I live about 2-3h away from Susquehanna Fishing Tackle, who is the closest retailer to me who carries MB or really any high end rods. I make a trip or two up there every year to do a little shopping and a little fishing, so I will get a chance to swing one around and see how I like it once the waters warm up a little to make a trip worthwhile.

Well,
I'm a sucker for multi-piece and they got a sh** ton of them on the JDM side

Careful, one of those will put down a rhinoceros at 30 paces... but not Frank the Tank!Uknowme wrote:Ugh. I knew that it was at the tip of my brain.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Re: Megabass levante
Mark, is this one shorter than the Double X? I picked up the Double X and that handle is a traditional swimbait only type rod in my opinion. I love my Gen 1 Double X Leviathan and want something similar in length to that handle.M Perry wrote:Houndfish wrote:The shorter grip is part of the appeal!

Not sure about the gen 2, as I haven't held that specific model.
Fishing small ponds/lakes from the bank and from my yak in general I can't stand long grips. The biggest baits I want to throw are the BBZ 50 Rat and a 68 Special. So nothing huge where I need 24" of leverage to make a good cast. What I think I want to throw them is a short SE Asian snakehead rod, but I have gone too weak/too short twice now so I want to get a more normal swimbait rod to try before I go even weirder.
From rear edge of reel seat to butt of rod is 15 1/2" on new Levante Leviathan

The new XX and Levante Leviathan handles are pretty well the same length. Thanks
Re: Megabass levante
I'm interested in picking one of the new levante spinning rods up, but the one thing holding me back is not knowing what size guides it has. Does it have full sized guides, semi micro guides, etc?

Re: Megabass levante
I have the Shakyhead model and it appears to be in between micro and normal sized guides. A well-tied Albright Special passes through effortlessly.Elmnt80 wrote:I'm interested in picking one of the new levante spinning rods up, but the one thing holding me back is not knowing what size guides it has.

Re: Megabass levante
Well I'd wait until they make a new batch of levante rods if you go that route.
