    Any news on the Megabass Levante rods?

    Mark, I'm assuming you'll be the best to answer this question. Any idea when the gen2 Levante rods will be coming out? And do you know if they will have a rod similar in action and taper to the Daemos?

    It's still looking like before Christmas if all goes well. As soon as it's official, The Tackle Trap will run pre-orders and post here and on social media. There will be a Diablo Spec R which is similar in action and power to the Daemos.

    What Gary said. MB is working to get them built and shipped. I am as excited as anyone. Still fishing mine quite a bit. The new ones should make for some happy customers.

    The goal is still to have them back in customers hands sooner rather than later. The good news is supply chain is moving better now which helps everyone.

    I will share that we fished several different build prototypes on these pretty hard and had no issues. Good was not good enough and the expectations were extremely high on what was required. On the last prototype Perfect Pitch I did my best to stress that rod out any way I could. I hooked and landed a 25lb catfish while flipping stumps and let that fish put the rod through some serious flexing and stress. It held up perfectly. I can assure you these are not the same blanks we used originally. I think customer feedback will be extremely positive and looking forward to what you guys think of them. They will be available very soon again.

    Got my rods today and I can't say for sensitivity, but if sensitivity is on par with looks and feel these are gonna be the hottest rods in their price point.. They are awesome jerkbait rod has a short butt perfect for topwater and jerkbaits
