I was told by Ben from hooked up tackle they will give the levantes gen 2 a run for the money .

The Tackle Trap has a bunch of them in stock and shipping now. All models haven't arrived, but many have. I just picked up the 610MHRB and will be out tossing some spinner baits and vibrating jigs on it later this afternoon. They look like a high end JDM rod, and they feel really nice in hand too.

What are some of the tech specs on these rods? Any info on the guides & blank? What's the big differences between these and the Tatula series?

HVF vs SVF, Braiding X and SiC guides on Rebellion, etc. It's all nicely spelled out at the links above...

So are these a step up or down from the elite's?

Neither as far as I'm concerned, they are just different and both very good series of rods at their respective, and very similar price points. The guides are higher quality on Rebellion, except for the AGS Tatula Elite models. The blanks themselves are both very nice. SVF graphite is known for higher sensitivity and the HVF is known for higher durability. Brading X is also an additional layer of toughness for the Rebellion series.

Bronzefly- how does the spinning rod feel in hand? is it as comfy as the steez/cronos? looks like the rebellion spinning handle has a lump on the handle.

It is comfortable in hand, at least in my hands. I prefer a full forward taper rather than the flare on the end of the fore grip, but it isn't a problem for me at all.

awesome! thanks for the picture. anyway, would you say the color aesthetics more of a gold color? or orange?

You're welcome - orange for sure, definitely not gold.

What is that grip material? Is it EVA foam?

Basically a Cronos?
