A foundational model in the LEVANTE lineup, the RUN&GUNNING is designed for long-distance rapid-fire approaches with fast-moving lures.
Designed with the ideal tip stiffness to pop lures free from submerged vegetation and an unexpectedly deep and yielding bend under load, RUN&GUNNING is the modern answer to highly pressured weed and transition areas. Ideally suited to ¼ oz – 3/8 oz bladed jigs and swim jigs like the UOZE SWIMMER, 3/8 oz – ½ oz spinnerbaits like the SV-3, and shallow cranks like the S-CRANK 1.5, the RUN&GUNNING’s ability to absorb wild headshakes and seamlessly shift load keep hard-won bites pinned.
The X-Graphite’s improved recovery rate and extended casting range deliver a major advantage in long-distance approaches, allowing anglers to extract bites from large areas quickly and effectively. By eliminating the sluggishness often associated with longer rods, the RUN&GUNNING offers an intuitive blend of responsiveness, forgiveness, and control, making it ideal for aggressive run-and-gun strategies to dominate open water.
LEVANTE’s proprietary high-density
layered graphite construction focuses on material efficiency and action consistency. By
reducing excess resin and optimizing layer patterning for each model, the blank delivers
improved balance and recovery while maintaining the durability required for daily use.
The result is a responsive yet stable feel that enhances casting precision and lure
control without sacrificing forgiveness.
Matched to each rod’s taper and intended application,
Megabass’s original guide layout prioritizes smooth energy transfer and feel. This
system supports LEVANTE’s strong casting performance and controlled load distribution,
allowing anglers to cover water efficiently while maintaining accuracy and feel.
Precision-machined from solid aluminum, this lightweight hood provides secure reel mounting and consistent rigidity while contributing to overall balance and durability.
LEVANTE incorporates ITO-designed ergonomic reel seats developed to support natural hand positioning and intuitive control. Minimalist contact surfaces reduce unnecessary material while preserving stability, comfort, and sensitivity across both casting and spinning applications.
Built for power fishing, the sculpted design and long trigger provide overwhelming grip for big bait and heavy cover applications. Whether one or two-finger casting or utilizing a full-palm retrieve, ITS is designed to accommodate various grip styles with confidence.
The fast-back design of the reel seat bridge fits deep in the palm of the hand, providing increased contact points to improve feel and control in spinning applications. The IES’s sweeping, tapered fore-grip allows direct contact with the exposed blank, enhancing the kind of delicate bite-detection that is required in deep finesse fishing.
The Anti-Finesse Approach As mapping accuracy improves and marine electronics continue to compress competitive advantages, bass in heavily pressured fisheries have adjusted accordingly. In the forward-facing sonar era, finesse techniques dominate much of the conversation, but their widespread adoption has also made them increasingly predictable. In that environment, separation often comes not from refinement, but […]
One of the greatest attractions of bass fishing is the fact not all the bass are doing the same thing at the same time on any given body of water. The May/June period is a time of major transition in many lakes, and options exist both deep and shallow, but shallow water swim jig fishing […]
Where MAGDRAFT Excels The rigged MAGDRAFT is built around three features. The patented Mag-Hold system, category-defining action, a hookup percentage that held up across seasons, forage types, and bass species. It was built for shallow water, and inside that zone it has no equal. Bassmaster pro Kenta Kimura has fished the MAGDRAFT on two continents, […]
