Megabass rods-which one?

[Ca11um]

Hey guys heading to Bali at the end of this month and i know a place i can get MB rods.
Really want to buy the right rod so thought i would try and find what i am looking for now.
I want a rod that 7'-7'6" , 2-6lb or 4-8lb, flick REALLY LIGHT lures far and a good hards rod.
What should i look for as talking someone with a different language would be weird?
Also the shop is called Puri Pancing and what other rods should i look out for there aswell as in other shops?

i think the mb destroyer kirisame are nice from what ive heard but i think their 6'9 so bit short although very light

There is a rather lengthy thread on this topic entitled "4 new rods from megabass?" started by none other than yours truly. You will find a fair bit of information on there.

As far as 7'-7'6" rods go you may want to check out graphite leader or major craft rods.

have already had a look
and what about the ORachus(or something strting with O)
i think i will get the Kirisame.

For really light hard bodies I really like my Shoreluck 74ulm, Great for flicking little Sr Camions and stick minnows around the flats and is super sensitive with plenty of low down grunt.

Its a 3 piece and is also easy to transport around!

Cheers

For a hards rod don't go a kirisame. they are a definate plastics rod.

Megabass Shoreluck XX SLX-74UL(How does it balance as it is quite short at the butt-like a BD Clear Cut custom?)

What is the best hards rod that can flick light lures a country mile but still be able to handle bream out of this list? No flatties or anything big where i live so basically only thing i have to worry about is jagging a stingray.
Feel free to comment about other rods like these aswell.

Majorcraft are great rods and cheap as well, volkey series with k guides landed at your door for $220 and the days series are great to. I have a 7'3" days and love it and also had a volkey which I miss greatly, days also come in 7'6" 5-10lb 2 piece

[dolivedunk]

Look at Orochi X4 F1-70 Hyena
That would be my pick

[stella fella]

I have just been emailing Japan Pro Fishing about rods for bream. They said that Megabass reccomend the following rods for casting hardbodies:

destroyer phase 3 FO-68XS
destroyer phase 3 F2-66XS

http://www.megabass.co.jp/destroyer/p3_hps.html

Orochi X4 F1-66X4S

http://www.megabass.co.jp/products/bass-rod/orochi-x4/

JPF said that these rods will throw even the lightest lures a mile, even the shorter models cast further than most longer rods.

The racing condition is more suited to soft plastics, the shoreluck SLM-74UL is a 3 piece, the SLX-74UL is a 2 piece

[smokindrags]

What about a scramble tour
I was looking at one but wasn't sure
http://www.megabass.co.jp/products/b...2-68x4sii.html
It 6,9 and 2pce

I have never seen one but didn't to much more into it.

The 74UL XOR has a very thin diameter almost quiver tip on it which is rediculously sensitive, though I'm ensured it is made of solid carbon and doesn't break easily.....I haven't used mine yet but I can see it'll be a great rod for light lures which require delicate retrieves!
It isn't as stiff a taper as I thought it would be but still a great rod to have if you already a have DSR or the like for the heavier work.
Cheers.

[Ca11um]

I already have a Raider which is a great Vibes rod and makes my heavier rod(until i get another MB).
really want something that can cast those featherweight lures such as hards and surface lures.
whats the 74UL "XOR"?
is it the shorter butt version?
