Can someone tell me how to decpher Megabass rod model #'s? Looking at a couple used Levante models on ALF used section and have no idea what the model #'s signify.

 

For instance,... What is a F6-70LV?

F6 is the power, in this case a med heavy. The higher the number the higher the power. 70 is the length, 7'0" and LV is Levante.

Power - Length(Model)

 

So on that Tour Versatile you are looking at...F is the power, so F6 is a 6 power rod...which would be in between a MH and a H.  70 = 7'0".  LV = Levante.  They'll put an S on the end for Spinning rods and a G on the end for Glass rods.

 

So an F5-72XXG is a 7'2" MH glass Orochi XX casting rod.

...and an F3-610X4S is a 6'10" ML Orochi X4 spinning rod.  

 

Generally speaking for Megabass...

F3 = ML to M

F4 = M

F5 = MH

F6 = MH to H

F7 = H

 

And you can interpret the rest from there they go from F0 up to F10 for power ratings.  They also do half powers on some, like an F4.5 which is in between a M and MH.  

 

Source - owned and fished with 30 or so MB rods over the past 10ish years.  

Which model are you interested in?

there should be a $ in front of that number.  no..a $$.

hhaha.

 

i actually like the numbers on these rods.  pretty fun to decode.  like a Dobyns.

Nothing specific at the moment,... Just see them on there when I browse and didn't know what I was looking at.

 

Appreciate all the information!!

 

May have to check them out sometime. I've seen them when I stopped by their store. I think the only one I picked up was a Destroyer. Pretty light!!

What does the /2 represent in this model?

 

Destroyer P5 (USA) F3.1/2-611XS ADDERMINE
