The LEVANTE JERKBAIT SPECIAL is purpose-built to maximize the performance of Megabass jerkbaits like the VISION ONETEN and X-80 TRICK DARTER. Ideal length of 6’11” combined with shortened rear grip allows for easy, balanced cadence and long casts. Fast-taper construction allows for quick and precise transmission of angler input, making your jerkbait come alive in the water. The blank’s powerful middle section quickly drives hooks home and keeps surging fish pinned, transferring load smoothly to ensure hard-won jerkbait fish reach the boat.
A “must have” model for serious anglers looking to realize the full potential of their Megabass jerkbaits.
Incorporating refinements to taper, balance point, guide positioning and ergonomics, the LEVANTE evolved through countless hours of testing and invaluable dialogue between customers, pro staff, and the Megabass development team. The result is a more-perfect integration of angler and equipment, allowing for intuitive rod work, sure hooksets, and confidence-inspiring “feel”.
Featuring upgraded blank material, construction, and Micro Pitch Taping, each LEVANTE is now lighter, more sensitive, and more responsive. Lighter blanks allow for a refinement in balance points, bringing each model closer to its target application. Finished with Fuji® Stainless Steel Alconite guides, custom metal accents, Megabass original Spiral Architect reel seat, hook keeper, and a premium color-shifting finish, the LEVANTE is sure to delight old and new Megabass enthusiasts alike.

Drawing from the technologies and functional concepts proven through years of tournament experience with the US-Spec OROCHI XX and DESTROYER series, […]
Outside the Conversation The world’s major design awards were built around architecture, mobility, consumer electronics, and medical equipment. Fishing tackle was never part of that conversation. Rods were judged by anglers, in the field, on terms the design world had no reason to examine. That changed in 2022, when the DESTROYER and COOKAI series became […]
