Been fishing Megabass for years. Never had one break. Not saying it can't happen but hasn't with any of the models I have owned. Fished both series of Orochi XX and a couple Destroyers.

Megabass makes fabulous products. I applaud what they did after a mistake. I will continue to use there products regardless.

OP probably disclosed something he shouldn't have, and therefore he changed the name of the post and the content to something generic.

I agree with NHBull. I love Megabass lures, but haven’t been overwhelmed with their rods. I have all G.Loomis and Shimano. G. Loomis takes some heat (right so in some cases) for sloppy quality control (mainly cosmetic), but it hard to see them sending out rods and having to recall all of a whole series because they break too easily.

Was my feeling too ! Felt more sarcastic than generic to me though ?

Recalling/destroying the defective rods and extending the warranty: Good.

 

Keeping it secret: Bad.

 

They should know how important spin and rep is in this market. Big mistake to try and keep it secret. They should own up and make good.

Well i had called and asked for some clarification..some rods indeed do have defects but was told to continue to fish as i would normally but if something were to happen to have a peace of mind knowing that my warranty has been upped to 3 years lol. I dont mind since i love my levante but for us existing rod owners since we have no option of returns or upgrade its a wait to see if it breaks type of deal.

I compliment them on taking action, but I have never seen a rod company  with such a reputation for breakage.

I’ve never owned one. Do they as a brand break often?

I did. I didn't find anything other than the normal amount of people have issues with them, as any company might have a bummer rod here and there.

Nope, nothing short of hara-kiri in a well lit, centrally located double booth at the next ICast will restore honor.

Seriously though, if they offered on their facebook page (or wherever) to replace the rods , I imagine most owners wouldn't even go through the trouble. For people who fish with multiple rods the extended warranty is enough, but if someone was using one of these as their only rod they'd probably want to exchange it. I doubt there are many people using one of these as their only rod, so there wouldn't be that much expense. Or at least the expense wouldn't be as much as the damage to their rep not doing it.

I don't really care one way or another, I'm just mad cause InterBike folded after moving from Vegas to Reno, and now I can't write off my yearly trip to Sin City.
