MEGABASS DESTROYER P5 F6.1/2-67X tachyon shaft

The blank technology newly developed through the experimental LAIHA project is the 5-D GRAPHITE SYSTEM. As the name implies, this blank construction methodology leverages five prepreg patterns to best address five elements—vertical axis, horizontal axis, oblique axis, elongation and elasticity— The cohesiveness of each completed puzzle enables a fusion of disparate parts, reducing the unnecessary prepreg overlap of traditional patterning and layering. This not only reduces material waste; it allows for a more precisely smooth taper and seamless load transition for truly intuitive performance.

Based on the machined-aluminum head-locking structure developed in the LAIHA concept project, the new Destroyer® HEAD LOCKING SYSTEM 3 is optimized for production status. The structure is the lightest of all Destroyer® series to-date, minimizing any potential interference in blank resonance and vibration transmission through the reel, in addition to highlighting the purpose-built elegance of each rod model.

Guided by angler bionomics, the Megabass original IBCS reel seat is an achievement in angler / equipment integration, ushering in a new era of comfort, utility, and performance. Minimalistic grip contours and stable short-trigger design allow for intuitive grip transitions as the angler moves through the cycle of casting, rod work, hookset and landing.

Blank contact areas are maximized to deliver precise feedback without sacrificing control. Carefully formed squat-trigger design is wide and short to provide the grip you need to cast heavy lures and manage hard-pulling crankbaits.

Regardless of your preferred style, the new IBCS seat inspires confident grip for every situation.

To further reduce unnecessary weight and improve performance, the Destroyer® utilizes a smaller-diameter thread made of special fiber, which allows for tighter, more effective guide wraps. This not only minimizes the wrap area and associated epoxy to reduce weight—it minimizes any The result is a smoother, more intuitive blank with minimalist threading for maximum strength and performance. Negative impact that hard epoxy guide wraps can have on the natural bend-curve of the blank.
