    Just placed order for the jerk bait special. Not thrilled about the 6’11” length but I’ll give it a shot

    If you're looking for one rod from this line up for 1/4 to 1/2 oz jigs fishing around and under docks, AND fishing those in open water, the Diablo Spec-R is likely your best bet.

    Sweet looking!. Glad they got rid of the cork foregrip. Looks more sleek! Hopefully they will have some at the Classic to check out.

    Nice looking rod. I was almost set on a Conquest 903 for 1/4 - 1/2 oz Jigs, little paddle tail swimbaits and lipless cranks. Which rod in the new Orochi line up would fit this bill?

    No. Looks like unless a prototype floats past, it will be full production models the last week of April or first week of May. I have my eye on a few that I'll pick up to demo though

    I'll be the first bearer of bad news for many of the pre-order customers out there, specifically regarding one of the most sought after models in the entire new series. The Braillist has officially been delayed by Megabass until "late June" for ALL pre-order customers regardless of where it was purchased. I received the unfortunate news this morning and wanted to let all our customers know, and those who have pre-ordered elsewhere. To the best of my knowledge, all other models are still on schedule for early May.

    On the bright side, I'll have the opportunity to fish quite a few models the first part of April and am excited about it. Thanks guys for all the support of Megabass and their outstanding line of products.

    It looks like the new launcher has a lure rating of 3/4-1.9 oz. I wonder if this rod can cover 6xd through 10xd?
