Hopefully there are some people in here who are swimbaiters and also megabass fans. 

 

The levante leviathan, orochi leviathan and destroyer onager are rated up to 8oz. Can anyone confirm if any or all of these rods are really capable of that 8oz claim...? Being in CA...I am a big swimbait fan and recently I have been getting into custom glide baits from guys who make them out of their home/garage and that can weigh in at close to 8oz. I need a rod that can throw 8oz 'comfortably'. I am hoping the leviathans or onager can really throw up to 8oz. 

I have the new Levante leviathan, and while I do believe it will handle 8oz I think the sweet spot is more in the 3-6 range. Tackle tour did this comprehensive review of the onager which is worth reading:
