MEGABASS Levante JP (2019) F8-710LV

Introducing LEVANTE , a Japan field exclusive rod that thoroughly pursues lightness and balance

The "Levante" rod, which is used as a right hand by true bass fishing professionals.

Levante is a rod that was originally developed based on the requests of the tournament scene, but this model is a next-generation rod that has been redesigned from the ground up to suit the worlds field.

This "Levante" was developed with a focus on ease of use based on the megabass rod technology cultivated in higher-end models.

We paid particular attention to the lightness of use, and introduced the latest graphite layering system that uses as little resin as possible. Of course, the guide is made by Fuji Kogyo, one of the world's leading manufacturers. Like other Megabass rods, we pursue a guide balance that maximizes the performance of the blanks for each taper to improve castability and accuracy. Also, by making the part beyond the butt guide unsanded and unpainted, the feeling of weight when holding it in the hand is eliminated as much as possible.

The grip is "Levante 3D Zardin Performance Grip". Easy to grip and has excellent sensitivity. The design accommodates all types of finger support and gripping forms, making it easy to apply force, and the compact grip makes it difficult to feel fatigue or stress even when fishing for long periods of time.

In addition, it is equipped with an ergonomic spiral architecture reel seat, and we are particular about the color of the blanks and the decorative wrapping of the guide to create an original look.

Each Levante model is a special rod designed with the fishing in mind.

NAME DECODING :

In addition to the force number, there are 5 levels of taper:

The characteristics of each taper are as follows.

● Extra fast taper (super first pitch 8:2)

It is easy to perform delicate lure operations such as shaking the lure at one point, and it is easy to get a hit.

● Fast taper (first pitch 7:3)

It has excellent directivity and is suitable for fishing that emphasizes operability, sensitivity, and hooking power.

● Medium fast taper (6:4)

It has a highly versatile tone between fast and regular. It has both sharpness and flexibility, and can be used for both winding and shooting fishing.

● Regular taper (body tone 5:5)

It has a tone suitable for fishing with rolls and using jerkbaits, and has the characteristic that it is difficult to repel strikes and hooked fish are difficult to find.

● Slow taper (4:6)

This action is suitable for fishing using topwater plugs and minnows to attract fish without moving them as much as possible.

By the way, this time's Levante has a lineup of force numbers F1 to F7. There are models with different tapers for F3 and F4, so please use the above as a reference.

The F8-710LV is a heavy-hitter that can drag a jig or Texas rig through thick cover and penetrate impregnable bushes and dense laydowns. The long 7ft 10in blank is designed to bring the fight to heavy cover. Surprisingly lightweight and balanced, the Levante Graphite System adds nuance and controllability to the rods toughness. The rod's carefully selected balance point practically eliminates any tip heaviness, allowing the angler to manipulate jigs and rigs without fighting the rod, while also encouraging the ideal "battle stance" for instantaneous hooksets.
