A swimbait rod with incredible versatility, the F7.1/2-76LV is purpose-built for the MAGDRAFT series. From the everyday 5 and 6-inch sizes to the trophy-targeting 7 and 8-inch models, the blank’s proprietary X-Graphite construction adapts to load and brings forth a seemingly endless reservoir of torque and power. This translates into stratospheric cast distance, unforgiving hooksets, and one-sided fights. The blank’s high torsional rigidity limits energy loss and blank wobble, also supporting crisp, high-precision rod work to deploy hollow-bodied frogs to the farthest reaches of thick mats or stir up a commotion in open water with big topwaters like the MEGADOG-X.
The MAGDRAFT SPECIAL fully exploits its massive torque to excel in power applications, including slow-rolling oversized spinnerbaits, super-deep cranking with the BIG-M 7.5, and technical manipulation of glide baits. Its smooth and supple blank absorbs unexpected, aggressive strikes, while its formidable lifting power overwhelms hard-won bites to bring trophies to the scales.
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.
Undoubtedly, one of the most discussed aspects of glide bait fishing is the tendency of bass to follow the lure without striking. Though frustrating to many, this has been harnessed by touring pros to draw fish from cover to efficiently locate larger fish to mark for the tournament. However, in this post we’re going to […]
When it comes to chasing giant bass, few techniques match the thrill and power of glide bait fishing. Originally born in the garages of Southern California anglers, glide baits have evolved into a staple for big-bass hunters across the country. These single-jointed swimbaits create a mesmerizing left-to-right swimming motion that draws out some of the […]
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 […]
