MEGABASS Brand new Destroyer F0st-63XS -kirisame- "Ultimate"

IN 1995, YUKI ITO PROTOTYPED THE DESTROYER® OF TRADITIONAL BASS RODS, DRAWING UPON HIS HAND-CARVED ARMS TO UNLEASH AN UNRIVALED FUSION OF CRAFT AND TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION UPON THE JAPANESE BASS MARKET.  EACH SUBSEQUENT GENERATION OF DESTROYER® REACHED BEYOND THE STANDARDS AND CONVENTIONS OF THEIR TIME TO ESTABLISH A NEW BENCHMARK.  A QUARTER-CENTURY LATER, “PROJECT LIVING LEGEND” WAS ESTABLISHED TO ENSURE THAT EACH CYCLE OF DESTRUCTION AND CREATION THROUGH INNOVATION PRESERVED MEGABASS’ RICH DNA, BRINGING ANGLERS EVER-CLOSER TO THE IDEAL.

Born to meet the challenge of Japan's toughest fields, the F0st-62XS KIRISAME ULTIMATE is the extreme expression of ultralight finesse, dialing sensitivity to the maximum setting with a solid carbon STINGER TIP and the extrasensory abilities of 5-D Graphite. The KIRISAME ULTIMATE enables ultralight presentations down to 2lb test, with the kind of silky-smooth responsiveness required to absorb sudden fights without straining line to the breaking point. The integrity of the new 5-D blank construction method reduces further unwanted blank twist and heavy reverberations, delivering focused , ultralight sensitivity and control.

NAME DECODING : 

NEW GENERATION HYPER TECHNOLOGIES :

The blank technology newly developed through the experimental LAIHA project is the 5-D GRAPHITE SYSTEM. As the name implies, this blank construction methodology leverages five prepreg patterns to best address five elements—vertical axis, horizontal axis, oblique axis, elongation and elasticity— and combine each in a painstaking puzzle matrix to maximize the application-specific performance of every blank. The cohesiveness of each completed puzzle enables a fusion of disparate parts, reducing the unnecessary prepreg overlap of traditional patterning and layering. This not only reduces material waste; it allows for a more precisely smooth taper and seamless load transition for truly intuitive performance.

MEGABASS BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION SEAT :

Drawing strength from the robust structure of the Megane-bashi in Nagasaki, known as Japan's oldest arched stone bridge, Yuki Ito channeled time-tested design into the development of the MBCS spinning reel seat. Featuring a curved shape that is a marriage of structural integrity and human form, MBCS rises from the blank to fit perfectly into the palm. This ergonomic fit not only increases grip and leverage for rod work and fighting fish, it transmits feedback by maximizing contact points between angler and equipment. Further, the palming grip encouraged by the MBCS is an anchor against torsional force, enabling greater control.

The exquisite contours of the MBCS are reinforced by an internal structure that ensures maximum strength and rigidity with minimal weight, allowing the full benefits of the reel seat's arched shape to be realized without excess material. Exposed blank section, palming contact and next-level control deliver the kind of intuitive feel required by finesse fishing in the toughest tournaments, carrying angling awareness into the depths.

FUJI TITANIUM FRAME SiC-S GUIDE : 

To further reduce unnecessary weight and improve performance, the Destroyer® utilizes a smaller-diameter thread made of special fiber, which allows for tighter, more effective guide wraps. This not only minimizes the wrap area and associated epoxy to reduce weight—it minimizes any Negative impact that hard epoxy guide wraps can have on the natural bend-curve of the blank. The result is a smoother, more intuitive blank with minimalistic threading for maximum strength and performance.

DESTROYER 3D EMBLEM : 

If you look closely, you can see the "Brand New Destroyer" logo, which has been updated from the previous logo. This time too, it was created from Yuki Ito's handwriting, so if it looks the same as before, it can be said that the core philosophy has been inherited. "3D Emblem" is a three-dimensional three-dimensional plate of this new Destroyer logo, and each blank has artwork. This is a new expression method for the "Brand New Destroyer", which eliminates even the epoxy top coating and is particular about making the blanks as light as possible.

END BALANCER (COLOR：BRONZE METEO) : 

"Brand New Destroyer", such as the F6-69X, which is a comfortable lightweight rod but actually has a built-in weight of 8g, has an amazing blank unit weight that is actually even lighter than the rod weight listed. The end balancer, which has been inherited by successive Destroyer originals since the Destroyer (Phase 1) that debuted in the 1990s, contributes to masterful rod balancing. Even if you intentionally increase the weight of the rod, it is installed with priority on accurate rod positioning and shaft balancing according to the method. The butt emblem of past Destroyers that shines in gold will finally be in the "Bronze Meteor" color from the "Brand New Destroyer".
