    There are none in stock and right now we are having same supplier chain issues everyone is facing. At some point in the future I will.know more in regards to better answer your question.

    They have several that would fit the bill, really depends on what length/action you prefer and how much you want to spend. If you dont mind a fast action rod then I would recommend the Perfect Pitch or the Diablo Spec R. If you want a more moderate action rod then I would recommend the Orochi XX Launcher. Its also an amazing crankbait rod. The Mark 48 in the USA Destroyer line is another great smaller swimbait rod but not currently available as is the Orochi XXX Destruction 70. Really need to know what you want to spend and what action you prefer to narrow it down.

    I throw the equivalent with either gen of Diablo Spec-R or a Gen 1 Tour Versatile. Another option for a more moderate action is the Gen 2 XX EMTF.

    Hi Mark. I have question about warranty. I bought Flyssa in July 2019. Second outing and I broke below 2 nd guide from the top.
    I received replacement in July. Did not used it till last week. I put line ( 6 lb mono) thru guides, slightly bent and it broke same place. Now I can see Megabass got 3 year warranty. Will this work for me?
    Thanks

    Just contact the CS folks via www.megabassusa.com as you did on the first. They will advise on how to proceed.

    I'd go with a Perfect Pitch since adding the trailer will make the jig closer to 1/2 - 5/8 oz (and the PP is also a kickass frog rod). The other 2 options would be Braillist or Tour Versatile. The Braillist felt a little too mushy for me and I'll take the PP over a TV for jig fishing all day, every day.

    Weightless soft plastics, larger topwaters, finesse jigs, small swimbaits on jigheads
