Megabass Destroyer P5

Megabass Destroyer P5 Series

A quarter of a century ago, in 1995, Yuki Ito presented the world with a prototype bass rod from Megabass that was a direct descendant of the handmade ARMS bass rod he developed in 1986. He wanted to destroy the conventional standards and common sense of bass rods. The Destroyer set a new standard for bass rods, leaving many other bass rods behind with its stoically honed sensitivity and mind-blowing technology.

In 2019, the LAIHA project was launched by MPW (MEGABASS PERFORMANCE WORKS) engineers as an advance disclosure work of experimental technology. One of them is the 5-D graphite system. The 5-D Graphite System is a new concept in socket design technology that represents a radical departure from Destroyer's design philosophy of introducing advanced layering systems. And it has finally become a reality. The "New King of Destruction" will reign as the new " Destroyer ", unleashing a new dimension in rod performance through innovative technology. This is a revolution in bass rod destruction. Just like back then. 

LINEUP CASTING MODEL:

• . 

F0st-66X SIGLETT
A dedicated mushi, or “bug” pattern bait finesse rod, the F0st-66X SIGLETT excels in ultra-finesse topwater games. Improved solid-tip design imparts otherworldly sensitivity and feel, transmitting the exquisitely detailed minutiae of micro insect lures for precision control. Solid-tip characteristics allow for rolling casts of featherweight lures and micro-shake rod work. Under load, the blank transitions effortlessly to the mid-section to behave like a regular taper rod throughout the fight. Further, the delicate responsiveness of the solid tip captures even the lightest topwater bites, yielding instantly to allow plugs to travel deep into predator throats for sure hooking. Ideal for open water and light cover applications where spinning tackle hesitates.

F2-60X CRIFFHANGER THRILLING
Reimagining the CRIFF HANGER finesse masterpiece with 5-D GRAPHITE, Yuki Ito developed the ultimate utility bait finesse rod: F2-60X CRIFFHANGER THRILLING. Such a rod must strive for lightweight performance and test the limits of extreme engineering; display excellent precision castability to pierce gaps in cover; carry outsized load-bearing strength and lifting power; and above all, inspire technical angling to new heights. The F2-60X delivers on all fronts, displaying an astonishingly high power to weight ratio. The extraordinary level of featherweight performance far exceeds the RACING CONDITION of the past, expanding the bait finesse stage by leaps and bounds.

F3.1/2-70X Z-CRANK ELSEIL
The F3.1/2-70X Z-CRANK ELSEIL is an achievement in purpose-built cranking, arising from Yuki Ito’s dual-expertise as a lure and rod designer. Applying the insight gained most recently from the SUPER-Z, Ito set out to trim the fat from conventional cranking sticks, delivering a blank that gives with supple smoothness, yet exhibits quick recovery and the highest power-to-weight ratio in its class. This drives longer casts, confident control, and the ability to "pop" lures free of grass—all without sacrificing the effortless "give" required to capture cranking bites. The Z-CRANK ELSEIL excels with fast-moving lures such as the SUPER-Z, VIBRATION-X DYNA, SMATRA, S-CRANK 1.2 and VISION ONETEN Jr. The new lightweight, fast-moving special F3.1/2-70X demonstrates the kind of performance only possible when rods are developed by the same designers as the lures for which they are intended.
