Designed to maximize the potential of theVision Oneten jerkbait line, the proprietary5D blank exhibits a crisply responsive—yetsupple—action, much like a refined sportscar's suspension equally at home on the roador track. Whether transmitting precisionangler input or absorbing nerve-wracking headshakes, the Oneten Special loads withintuitive delight, inspiring instantconfidence. Revolution brings destructive change. ThisDestroyer is king of them all. In 1995, Yuki Ito prototyped the Destroyer®of traditional bass rods, drawing upon hishand-carved arms to unleash an unrivaledfusion of craft and technological innovationupon the Japanese bass market. Eachsubsequent generation of Destroyer® reachedbeyond the standards and conventions of theirtime to establish a new benchmark. A quarter- century later, "Project Living Legend" wasestablished to ensure that each cycle ofdestruction and creation through innovationpreserved Megabass' rich DNA, bringinganglers ever-closer to the ideal. Guided by this spirit, the Laiha Program gavebirth to a limited concept rod series in2019, developed to test and refine standard- destroying technologies to push innovationpast present limits. From this tirelesseffort, the 5-D graphite system was born.Representing a paradigm shift in the blankconstruction process, 5-D enables a moreperfect realization of the Destroyer® througha new method of patterning and layering,unlocking untold potential. Thus, with each generation, all change— especially destructive—is embraced in thetechnological pursuit of the angling ideal.Out of this cycle, Destroyer® rises anew tochallenge anglers to new heights. Specifications:
- 5-D GRAPHITE SYSTEM: The 5D system isdesigned with five performance-optimizedpanels: #1 for high tension in thelongitudinal direction, #2 for 45-degreetorsional rigidity to the right, #3 for 45- degree torsional rigidity to the left, #4 forlateral stiffness, and #5 for highlongitudinal elasticity. The five panels arethen painstakingly arranged to maximize andintegrate the distinct performancecharacteristics of each panel into a cohesivewhole, forming a completed puzzle thatreduces the unnecessary prepreg overlap oftraditional patterning and layering. This notonly reduces material waste; it allows for asmoother and more precise taper, seamlessload transition and a wellspring of power forintuitive outperformance.
- DESTROYER HEAD LOCKING SYSTEM 3: Based onthe machined-aluminum head-locking structuredeveloped in the LAIHA concept project, thenew Destroyer® HEAD LOCKING SYSTEM 3 isoptimized for production status. Thestructure is the lightest of all Destroyer®series to-date, minimizing any potentialinterference in blank resonance and vibrationtransmission through the reel, in addition tohighlighting the purpose-built elegance ofeach rod model.
- IBCS: Guided by angler bionomics, theMegabass original IBCS reel seat is anachievement in angler/equipment integration,ushering in a new era of comfort, utility,and performance. Minimalistic grip contoursand stable short-trigger design allow forintuitive grip transitions as the anglermoves through the cycle of casting, rod work,hookset and landing. Blank contact areas aremaximized to deliver precise feedback withoutsacrificing control. Carefully formed squat- trigger design is wide and short to providethe grip you need to cast heavy lures andmanage hard-pulling crankbaits. Regardless ofyour preferred style, the new IBCS seatinspires confident grip for every situation.
- 3D DYNAMICS PERFORMANCE GRIP: Inspired bypro anglers' battles in the top echelons ofthe world's oldest and toughest bass fishingcircuit, the B.A.S.S. Elite Series, MEGABASS3D DYNAMICS strives towards a more perfectunion of angler and equipment. Each hand- formed carbon fiber handle takes shape as ifcustom made for each angler's hands,providing comfortable contours for enhancedgrip and the superior vibration transmissionproperties of carbon material.
- DESTROYER 3D EMBLEM: If you look closely,the brand-new Destroyer® logo has beenrenewed. Once again, the new logo was paintedby Yuki Ito with his brush, refreshing thecore philosophy of the series. The new emblemis crafted from a three-dimensional solidplate, with artwork overlaid on each blank toreflect the depth of Destroyer® history.
- DESTROYER ORIGINAL TIGHT THREADING FUJITITANIUM FRAME SiC-S GUIDE: To further reduceunnecessary weight and improve performance,the Destroyer® utilizes a smaller-diameterthread made of special fiber, which allowsfor tighter, more effective guide wraps. Thisnot only minimizes the wrap area andassociated epoxy to reduce weight—itminimizes any negative impact that hard epoxyguide wraps can have on the natural bend- curve of the blank. The result is a smoother,more intuitive blank with minimalisticthreading for maximum strength andperformance.
- THREAD COLOR
- BASE : Airforce-Scuro
- PINLINE : Kishubussin-Purple
- OUTER TRIM : Stream Galaxy
- END BALANCER (COLOR:BRONZE METEO):Weight-saving improvements in blankconstruction, thread wrapping method, reelseat and head locker design result in alighter rod, which allows for lightercounterweights to achieve the ideal "Takumi"balance for each application. Even the F6- 69X, which is balanced for a tip-up posturefor heavy-cover applications utilizes a mere8 gram counterweight contained in the ENDBALANCER's machined metal form. To reflectthis achievement, the shining gold end capemblem of previous generations has beenupdated to an understated "Bronze Meteo"finish.
