Megabass bunker buster?

Featured Replies

Does anyone have one of these? Preferably in the destroyer series? If so, how does it compare to an Expride xh? Does it have a decent taper or is it a pool cue? Trying to get a high end rod for heavy cover flipping. I have multiple exprides and had one orochi but sold it. I can’t find hardly any reviews on this rod.

I personally haven’t fished one, but TT did this review recently. Oddly they didn’t talk much about flipping with it. I was strongly considering buying this rod but was offered a deal on an XX first gen AMFS I couldn’t pass up

Sent you a PM, but the 73XH with the product tag on it weighs 4.73oz on my scale. I intend to be fishing it about 2 months from now once the frog bite turns on here. With a Bantam on it, it balances about a half inch in front of the lock nut. I'd love if it was an inch further back, but considering its length and power, I am pretty impressed. As for taper, it is fairly fast, and with the stiffness of the rod, there is some real power there. I am actually a little concerned with how stiff it is, but to be fair, it is exactly what I was looking for after finding my 7'HXF Helium3 a little too soft last year when ripping jigs free from weeds and dragging 2-3lb bass with a couple pounds of milfoil.

 

I hope this helps!
