This is the review you need to watch to make good decisions on these type of rods. Great information!! It's difficult to sometimes make a good choice just by reading specs. Thank you!
I absolutely love megabass as a company they are crushing the fishing industry always doing something innovative keep it up guys
Wow!! I just received my Tachyon Shaft from you guys and allthough I haven't got to fish with it as of yet I have put some time in with it in the back yard. I'm blown away! This thing is very sensitive, super light and balanced yet it's very powerful. Another thing I noticed is how easy it is to place your lure Acurately. If your a person who does a lot of pitching and pitch skipping this Rod Rocks! Hats off Megabass!! I've gotta save some more cash so I can get the x bites.. Thanks for your great customer service and great videos,
Awesome to see you’ve got a KZread channel! Excited to see what’s to come! Great and very informative video.

I've fished the Orochi XX series and liked them then I purchased my first Destroyer P5, the Tequilla Baccarac to be exact. That rod changed every thing I've ever experienced with a baitcasting rod. The Destroyer P5 series is so very light for it's power rating. I plan on replacing my jerkbait rod and my deep crankbait rod with the Destroyer P5 Oneten stick and the Madbull rod. Once they become available.
Awesome review, and what a a great line up! Thanks

Which one would be best for those baits or do you have any other better suggestions other than these rods? Thank you!

Hi there! Love this information and review of these exciting new rods. I was wondering if you could shed some light at some point soon on the lighter end of the casting series. I want to purchase one of the three (pop x stock, cliffhanger thrilling, Kasumi six eleven) but have t found much in depth information regarding the strengths and differences of the two. I fish mostly small hardbaits and finesse swimbaits and am looking to get into the bfs and want to find a rod for bass. Would probably choose something lighter for trout. Any light you can shed on these lighter action baitcasters would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Hey Ben, how do you like the Z crank elseil rod? I’m thinking of getting that one for smaller hard baits like 3/8 oz square bills, shallow cranks, top water. Might even go up to 5/8oz with all the above baits. Is this rod lighter in power to a Gen 1 orochi XX flatside special? I know the ratings show it’s a F3.5 vs F4.5 on the FSS. How do they compare on the water?
Lovely video is the real seat lock nut all steel or is it gluded to a plastic locking bush like the previous destroyer ,the glue on the plastic bush always broke loose so I stopped buying them please advise thanks 👍

Thanks for watching! In the P5 line the Tequila Baccarac or the Madbull are really the only 2 options for the larger Jerkbaits. The Madbull is more of a traditional action, like a diablo spec R, but the Tequila Baccarac is such a cool rod, I'd probably throw it on that.

How does the 110 stick compare to the USA Destroyer 110 special? My big concern is that it's 6'5 and in clear water we really need to get Jerkbaits far out.
I have the Bait Finesse rod paired with an Aldebaran BFS. I wish I had 2 more of this combo. It's a combo I always take with me - every single time. The sensitivity and casting performance is incredible. For reference, I own 3 NRX+.

I'm considering buying the Bait Finesse or the Elesle (sp?) The 3.5 power. I am wanting a jerkbait rod for small Jbaits like the X-Nanahans x-80 trick darters etc. Is the Bait finesse stiff enough to work a small jerkbait? Right now I'm using a Dibyns Sierra 701 so a 7 ft? 1 power. It's OK but not quite stiff enough to get the Bait to move alot if I want it to. Works great for super cold water slack line snapping, where the Bait only moves 8-10 inches though. Great for crappie jerkbaiting as well.

Titanium guides. I've had no problem with knots! The Landsat is a weird one for me. I don't personally like it, I find that it's not as sensitive as some of the other rods like Windbuster. I don't like the NRX 822 DSR either, so it might just be my preferences. However, a lot of people find the Landsat to be their favorite dropshot rod, above NRX. So I think it's one that has to be tried to see.

Also coming Wednesday is a F3-610X Bait Finesse for Senkos and Neko without the need to use a spinning rod and finally a F2-66XS Whippett. The last one is rather indulgent.
