Megabass Rods

[jan]

G'day all,
just wondering if anyone is using any megabass rods at the moment and your thoughts on them. In particular the F0-63XKS Kirisame Competition or the equivalent.
Cheers, Jan.

I have some experience with Megabass rods - great blank, very light, wicked proprietary reel seat, basicly all the components are cool and the finish on the rods are perfect.

What were u planning on using the Kirisame for? Trout?

I know Blue mako has Megabass rod & he would be able to help you out..

I was planning on using it for flicking Towadii's and the like at whiting this coming season. I've built myself a few Loomis rods etc but want to give the Megabass rods a go. The components look like Matagi's but not sure. Anyway it looks like what I'm after but will check with Frogley's to see what they have available now.
Cheers, Jan.

Some components on Megabass rods are proprietary so you wont be able to get it from Matagi, let alone Frogleys (eg some of the Megabass reel seats)

[jan]

yeah I know some components are proprietary but some look like Matagi. I know Frogleys don't have these components but they are a supplier of Megabass rods so I would like to see what rods they have available.

I cant quite remember the few models that Frogleys is bringing in but one of them (I think) is the Saratoga. Wait till you see the rrp

[jan]

Yeah I spoke to Wayne up there during the week and he said the rrp was going to be around $500-$600 for what they had in now. I'm on hols in August so looking forward to going up and seeing them again (and the rods,blanks, guides etc )
