Megabass was founded in the late 80s by Yuki Ito when he was in his 20s. Located in Hamamatsu, Japan, where Mr. Ito is originally from, Megabass has become a formidable force in the fishing industry of Japan, especially in the past 10 years. It established itself as a high-end lure company with the introduction of the break-through bait POP-X in 1996, and in the same year the Destroyer rod series was released, they both instantly changed the status quo in the fishing tackle industry of Japan.

What makes Megabass so unique is its absolute commitment to design innovation and quality manufacturing, both of which have been backed by Mr. Ito’s talents as an angler, designer & as CEO of Megabass. Megabass is located in Hamamatsu which is about halfway between Tokyo and Osaka/Kyoto area, and is well-know for the concentration of world class manufacturers such as Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki to name a few. Many believe that Hamamatsu represents the heart of Japanese manufacturing. No wonder Megabass is there.

Megabass was initially released in Australia during 2006 and since then expanded to meet customer demands including the introduction of the rods in 2008 and the reels which are new this year. Megabass has grown to become a must have lure for tournament fisherman around the country and has proven its fish catching ability with many tournament wins.

Based on the original F3-610XS which was considered the most versatile Destroyer spinning model, Shabbler is even lighter than 610XS and its handling is better and sharper as well. Please take advantage of its sensitivity by bottom contacting. Down shot, light Carolina rig and jerking light minnows are only typical applications for this versatile rod.

A power game rod, in addition to being a mobile search touring rod, the blank is armed with titanium fibres. Lures can be thrown without excess stress, due to the unbelievably high torque of the advanced blank material. This rod is perfect for using baits such as Baby Griffon, Margay, X-70, etc. and is also incredibly suited for lightweight Texas or Carolina rigging. This is a rod which defies expec-tations, with incredible power despite its skill with light applications. Features Slant-Bridge grip and 2-piece blank.

MULTI PERFORMANCE SPINNING ROD

HIGH PERFORMANCE SPINNING RODS

ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE SPINNING ROD

This is a unique rod. Unlike other DG rods, Hi8X graphite is used for the blank of 610DGS. If Hi10X is the highest density graphite, The Hi8X gives slightly less stiffness to the rod action, which allows the 610DGS to have the characteristics Aaron cherishes. Just pick it up and immediately you will be struck by its lightness and totality. The whole rod will respond simultaneously to the slightest input at any part of the rod. If you are familiar with the original F3-610XS, you will be shocked that 610DGS is even lighter and its integrity has increased noticeably as well. And its increased sensitivity will provide higher resolution imagery of what is going on in the water.

F3-610DGSAARON MARTENS LTD MEDIUM FAST 6’10” 1/16~1/2oz. 4-12Lb.

HIGH PERFORMANCE SPINNING ROD

A light weight rod that has some power to turn those fish when needed. This is a 2 piece rod that separated at the butt so you can still fit it in those rod tubes for planes, and yet does not affect the rods action in any way. This is truly a mobile rod and it can be at home throwing poppers at GT’s or casting plastics for snapper.

F3-63XTHPTHE GRIFFON MEDIUM FAST 6’3” 3/16~5/8oz. 5-16Lb.

F3-65DGEMILIA

This new series is designed for heavy duty fishing. But, it does not mean we simply accept the conventional equation: stiffness=strength. First of all, stiffness is proportionate to the modulus of graphite, but there is inherent limitation to the material itself. Our D.N.A full titanium construction has proven that there are completely different directions in which we could not only extend the strength of graphite rods, but also increase sensitivity and responsiveness. The success of the titanium approach to D.N.A. double helix blank construction has now been applied to graphite. The result is the all new rod series. All DG and DGS rods use D.N.A. graph-ite blanks which have a higher carbon fibre ratio with less resin than the regular graphite, with a double helix wrap construction.

The Pagani graphite series is the perfect rod for stream or light dam fishing. It has a light tip to cast those smaller lures, even small crank baits like the Live-X Smolt cast effortlessly on this rod. The rod has plenty of power and when hooked up you get those fish out of the snag or turn them when needed. This is the perfect light bass rod.

F2-66XPCHAPARRAL 6’6” 1/8~1oz. 5-16Lb.

MULTIPLEX GRAPHITE SHAFT

A Powerful but light game rod that can handle the tough fish. With the slant bridge for extra comfort and power this rod will keep you on track to land those big fish.

The heavier of the two Orochi Bait Casting Rods this make a perfect rod for throwing Lipless Crankbaits or heavier plastics for bass and a great light Barra Rod.

Among the new Destroyer lineup, F4-66X has changed its appearance more than most others. The newly transformed grip-end has made this rod even more versatile than before. Yet, just like the previous model, this rod will let you see and feel the core concept of the Destroyer rod series.

The is the heavier of the Evoluzion series available in Australia making this rod the perfect model for Barra in Dams or Wild Barra. The regu-lar taper makes it a great hard body rod and soft tip make it a breeze to cast. A must have for any serious travelling Barra Fisherman.

F4-66X THPCYCLONE REGULAR 6’6” 1/4~3/4oz. 8-20Lb.

This is a high modulus graphite version of the popular Diablo (F5 1/2-68 XTI/XFTI). As one of the most versatile power rods, F5-68X is perfect for Texas rig, crankbaits, diving minnows, and its application does not choose situations.

F5-68X THPBANDERSNATCH

REGULAR 6’8” 3/8~1oz. 10-25Lb.

The blanks of the Ti models are reinforced with titanium wires that run along the length of the blank. The addition of titanium wires to the High Modulus Graphite makes for a more sensitive and more responsive experience. The wires transmit additional vibration, while at the same time strengthening the graphite and giving it a ‘steelier’ feel and stronger backbone. The most obvious cosmetic change to the Ti Model is the pebble-pattern blank wrap that extends from the base of the blank to the mid-section, and the new silk-touch grade cork handles. Additional changes to the Evoluzion series as a whole include ergonomic grips, and the ITO Head Locking System (PAT).
