mega bass handles

[nuggstar]

i want to build a mid size spin rod 4 trevs and other hard pulling fish form 1kg up to about 5kg(mid size jew and monster flattys, big jack and stuff) but i wanna incorparate one of the mega bass concept handles with the sound or residence chambers inside of them for extra feel and vibration. it there any where i can get something like these handles. i want to build a weapon that i canl feel the slightest fart from a fish on my braid if it did, and still have the power to turn the big suckers when they are lunging 4 rocks or some other nasty sh$t. i have used a mega bass destroire be fore and it was heaven in my hands the chambers in the handle seem to realy do transpond the bumps and thums better than any think iv ever helled any help please.

Do u mean these handles? (Bottom pic) If so, then its unlikely that you'll be able to get one for a custom rod unfortunately:( These are Megabass only reel seats designed by Ito himself.

Ryan is right though, Matagi carry fantastic looking reel seats so u might want to give them a shot.

mate mataggi have the handles you are after they are a hunting tool product and are actually carbon tube they also have carbon inserts which can be incorperarted in your cork or eva grips these provide the crispness and feel that you are lookin for

i want to build a mid size spin rod

But Nugg was asking abt the SPIN reel seat....

[ryansrods]

same concept just incorperate a spin seat

[nuggstar]

the concept is abit like a guitar.when ya pluck a string on a guitar it vibrats and the sound is applifide by the sound box right. the handles have hollow chambers that work like a sound box, when ya get a hit or a bump vibrations pass through ya blank and then has to tranmit through the sound chambers and get applifide by resonatings on the side walls of the chambers then has to pass in to ya hand, it realy seams to work

[nuggstar]

dose that make sense
