The Megabass Destroyer USA Rods Series, first introduced in Japan in 1996, completely redefined the angling industry through superior innovation that set the standards in performance and craftsmanship that still hold true today. Each Destroyer rod was made to strict Japanese angling specifications that built on previous designs to create an evolution in Megabass rod design. Anglers across Japan took advantage of the refined style, realizing ever-greater potential with every cast.

Built exclusively for North American anglers, the all-new Destroyer harnesses the time-tested design of previous generations. Each design is a meticulous refinement of key American techniques, carefully engineered through 30 years of experience across nearly every lure type and category.

The birth of every Destroyer rod begins with the un-sanded blank that features the original Destroyer logo as a tribute to its time-tested Hybrid Graphite System predecessors. This system features an integration of carbon of varying modulus into a single blank that allows for the selection of the perfect grade for each bend point. This "Hybrid" design, along with the multi-axis build process, creates a blank that stands alone, waiting to unleash effortless casts and staggering hooksets while taking advantage of unmatched "lifting power" to control the fight to land the prize winning fish.

Industry Patented blank-through build, Spiral Architecture Reel Seat, and Head Locker work together to create low-profile ergonomics and hands-on feel. Fuji Titanium SiC guides are set by dual thread-wraps on heavy action models, while stripper guides across the series are finished with distinctive detail.

The time-tested commitment to the Megabass series, loaded with the best available materials and construction, patented innovations, and proprietary blank builds and tapers, represent the first North American volley in the Destroyer series. Arm yourself with the best.
