I may be wrong here but I don't think the levante was released with the braillist but I know me xx braillist is a great jig rod

When will the leviathan be in stock ?

[Bronzefly]

The Braillist is listed in the first post in this thread. It is one of the first five models that will begin shipping very soon.

The Leviathan ship date is also listed in the first post in this thread. It reads that it will ship in late January 2021.

Both the Perfect Pitch and Braillist are jig and worm rods by design. Both are versatile in general, with the Perfect Pitch being heavier in power and better for heavier presentations and heavier cover. The Braillist is also a capable jig and worm rod, lighter in power than Perfect Pitch, but still plenty powerful for casting jigs in deeper, more open water. They compliment each other very nicely.

Thanks Gary!

When you get your hands on them can you measure and post the jerkbait special handle length?

[Bronzefly]

I fished the Shakey Head and the Perfect Pitch today. I didn't wear them out by any stretch, but did get a good one on a 110+2 fished on the Levante Shakey Head, Exist LT 3000-CXH and 8lb. Daiwa J-Fluoro Samurai... I threw a 1oz Dark Sleeper on the Perfect Pitch quite a bit too with a Zillion HD and 18lb Daiwa J-Fluoro Samurai. Both are good looking, good feeling rods from initial impressions. I'm looking forward to spending more time with them, and the others...

Those 5 models should make in pretty soon, hopefully late this coming week. That's dependent on how the shipping goes near and around Thanksgiving of course. I'll be glad to measure the handle of the JBS. Thanks again for the pre-orders guys! Get them in before they're gone until late January...

Gary, by chance do you know the handle length of the leviathan? I see it’s a two piece rod.

Properly measured, it's 15 3/8".

All pre-orders for the first five models have shipped out today guys! Those 5 are in stock and ready to ship. Once they're gone, it'll be a while before we have any more.

Thankyou sir !

I use the Diablo Spec R for 3/8 - 1/2oz swimjigs. Sensitive and good power!
