Megabass Destroyer P5 Spinning

Megabass Destroyer P5 Spinning Series

A quarter of a century ago, in 1995, Yuki Ito presented the world with a prototype bass rod from Megabass that was a direct descendant of the handmade ARMS bass rod he developed in 1986. He wanted to destroy the conventional standards and common sense of bass rods. The Destroyer set a new standard for bass rods, leaving many other bass rods behind with its stoically honed sensitivity and mind-blowing technology.

In 2019, the LAIHA project was launched by MPW (MEGABASS PERFORMANCE WORKS) engineers as an advance disclosure work of experimental technology. One of them is the 5-D graphite system. The 5-D Graphite System is a new concept in socket design technology that represents a radical departure from Destroyer's design philosophy of introducing advanced layering systems. And it has finally become a reality. The "New King of Destruction" will reign as the new " Destroyer ", unleashing a new dimension in rod performance through innovative technology. This is a revolution in bass rod destruction. Just like back then.

F0st-63XS Kirisame Ultimate
Born to meet the challenge of Japan's toughest fields, the F0st-62XS KIRISAME ULTIMATE is the extreme expression of ultralight finesse, dialing sensitivity to the maximum setting with a solid carbon STINGER TIP and the extrasensory abilities of 5-D Graphite. The KIRISAME ULTIMATE enables ultralight presentations down to 2lb test, with the kind of silky-smooth responsiveness required to absorb sudden fights without straining line to the breaking point. The integrity of the new 5-D blank construction method further reduces unwanted blank twist and heavy reverberations, delivering focused, ultralight sensitivity and control.

• F1st-66XS Kirisame 

The F1st-66XS KIRISAME is the new standard KIRISAME of the 5-D Graphite era. With a STINGER TIP and upgraded blank, KIRISAME is a master of light finesse rigs, scoring highly across all finesse benchmarks throughout its development. excellent “give,” absorbing light bites and imparting tantalizing action alike. Improved cut-patterning and layering process of the 5-D GRAPHITE SYSTEM ensures an impossibly smooth taper transition into the mid-section, where the blank's tenacious torque enables long casts, strong lifting power, and decisive sweeping hooksets. The KIRISAME is the new global standard of finesse utility.

F2-66X Whippet
When developing the F2-66XS WHIPPET, the Megabass design team set out to explore the concept behind the F2-64XS, a spinning rod beloved for the better part of 25 years. The resulting 5-D Graphite prototypes came in nearly 35% lighter and with significantly more torque, leading to the addition of 2" to the blank's length and minor adjustments to more fully realize the F2-64XS' original potential. The WHIPPET is a multi-purpose, "whip-like" performer, boasting agile blank recovery, lightness and powerful torque to enable multi-purpose finesse applications.

• F1.1/2-72XS Baby Plugging

The F1.1 / 2-72XS BABY PLUGGING is tuned for finesse hardbaits, leveraging 5-D Graphite to decrease unwanted blank twist and reverberation, and increase power and controllability. Ideally suited to small minnow plugs and crankbaits, the F1.1 / 2 -72XS exhibit exquisite retrieve tension and feel, allowing for thrilling light-bite plugging games

• F3.1/2-72XS Wind Buster

The F3.5-72XS WIND BUSTER is the “go-to” choice to confront a vast and varied field, offering an ideal balance of length and power to handle finesse softbaits and smaller hardbaits alike—especially when tough headwinds make lures difficult to cast with baitcasting setups. Powered by the 5-D GRAPHITE SYSTEM, the WIND BUSTER displays crisp blank recovery performance and unexpected torque, enlivening presentations from shaky heads to jerkbaits. Medium-fast taper uncoils with silky-smoothness, transitioning load to where it is borne best, allowing for both delicate rod work and domineering performance as the situation dictates.

• F5st-65XS Kirisame Special

The F5st-65XS KIRISAME SPECIAL is the ultimate spinning tool for finesse cover situations and deep, open water nose-hooking. The medium-fast taper is finished with a solid carbon STINGER TIP for unimaginable sensitivity in a F5-power rod. This unique marriage of opposites allows for the presentation of lighter rigs that would only be possible with rods underpowered for the task at hand.

The KAMEYAMA SPECIAL is built to target deep rockpiles, gnarly submerged timber, brush, and structure infested with treacherously sharp quagga mussels. With this “heavyweight finesse” spinning setup, delicate rigs can be cast into heavy cover with confidence. The STINGER TIP allows for subtle lure manipulation and crisp sensitivity, while the F5-powered blank has the backbone to decisively haul hard-won catches from cover.
