Megabass was founded in the late 80s by Yuki Ito when he was in his 20s. Located in Hamamatsu, Japan, where Mr. Ito is originally from, Megabass has become a formidable force in the fishing industry of Japan, especially in the past 10 years. It established itself as a high-end lure company with the introduction of the break-through bait POP-X in 1996, and in the same year the Destroyer rod series was released, they both instantly changed the status quo in the fishing tackle industry of Japan. What makes Megabass so unique is its absolute commitment to design innovation and quality manufacturing, both of which have been backed by Mr. Itoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talents as an angler, designer & as CEO of Megabass. Megabass is located in Hamamatsu which is about halfway between Tokyo and Osaka/ Kyoto area, and is well-know for the concentration of world class manufacturers such as Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki to name a few. Many believe that Hamamatsu represents the heart of Japanese manufacturing.

HIGH PERFORMANCE SPINNING ROD F3-610DGS AARON MARTENS LTD

MEDIUM FAST

6’10” 1/16~1/2oz. 4-12Lb.

This is a unique rod. Unlike other DG rods, Hi8X graphite is used for the blank of 610DGS. If Hi10X is the highest density graphite, The Hi8X gives slightly less stiffness to the rod action, which allows the 610DGS to have the characteristics Aaron cherishes. Just pick it up and immediately you will be struck by its lightness and totality. The whole rod will respond simultaneously to the slightest input at any part of the rod. If you are familiar with the original F3-610XS, you will be shocked that 610DGS is even lighter and its integrity has increased noticeably as well. And its increased sensitivity will provide higher resolution imagery of what is going on in the water.

6’9” 1/32~3/8oz. 4-12Lb.

Based on the original F3-610XS which was considered the most versatile Destroyer spinning model, Shabbler is even lighter than 610XS and its handling is better and sharper as well. Please take advantage of its sensitivity by bottom contacting. Down shot, light Carolina rig and jerking light minnows are only typical applications for this versatile rod.

HIGH PERFORMANCE BAIT CASTING ROD 6’4” 1/8~5/8oz. 5-14Lb.

This new series is designed for heavy duty fishing. But, it does not mean we simply accept the conventional equation: stiffness=strength. First of all, stiffness is proportionate to the modulus of graphite, but there is inherent limitation to the material itself. Our D.N.A full titanium construction has proven that there are completely different directions in which we could not only extend the strength of graphite rods, but also increase sensitivity and responsiveness. The success of the titanium approach to D.N.A. double helix blank construction has now been applied to graphite. The result is the all new rod series. All DG and DGS rods use D.N.A. graphite blanks which have a higher carbon fibre ratio with less resin than the regular graphite, with a double helix wrap construction.

F3.1/268Xti SUPERGRIFFON STAGE II

MEDIUM FAST 6’8” 1/4~3/4oz. 8-20Lb.

The blanks of the Ti models are reinforced with titanium wires that run along the length of the blank. The addition of titanium wires to the High Modulus Graphite makes for a more sensitive and more responsive experience. The wires transmit additional vibration, while at the same time strengthening the graphite and giving it a ‘steelier’ feel and stronger backbone. The most obvious cosmetic change to the Ti Model is the pebble-pattern blank wrap that extends from the base of the blank to the mid-section, and the new silk-touch grade cork handles. Additional changes to the Evoluzion series as a whole include ergonomic grips, and the ITO Head Locking System (PAT).
