These Are The Best Japanese Bass Fishing Rods Ever Made For Under $200! 

Thank you for doing this! Much better than DMing a bunch of questions before I pull the trigger! 😊

Thanks for that great info just got mine F5 we’ll see how it goes

Thank you guys for this video! Super informative. I'm curious... any reason that you know of that Megabass didn't send over the JDM F5-611 ? Any insight on that particular rod?

Super interested in the F1! I live up north where panfish and smaller bass are mainly what I run into. Currently running a Nasci 1000 on a trout series st.croix. Would love to see how the levante compares.

Thank you for this video I've been curious about these since they dropped and wondered what each one would be great for technique wise. I have almost all the US models and they are great.

Been using the F7-72LV as a backup rod for tiny Klash for years. IMO the rod handles the TK perfectly, such a good bang for the buck rod (also great for big spinnerbaits etc!)

Loving my F2-64lv for bait finesse fishing. Just today I used it to catch a bunch of smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Caught fish on it during my session using a free rig, hover shot, weightless paddle tail swimbait, jerkbait, and lipless crankbait. It’s a very versatile rod with the nice fast action I love using it for small too waters too. My first Levante and third megabass rod but it won’t be my last

Been throwing the 7-2 f7 for a month or so. Been throwing an Osakana slide and a couple days ago fishing a free rig for some smallies. Handles it so perfect!

That F2 spinning is what I need! I’m road tripping by soon. See you then.

I need a rod to pair up with my shimano stratic 5000XG. Which Levantine should I get? Needed for Bonito, albacore, bluefish etc… on the jetty. Please I need your expertise or advise. Thanks

Awesome breakdown

Looks like my bday present came a few months early 😅😂😂 that F6-70 is just what i need for the kaera and those BFS models should be sickkk 🤑🤑

Wish I would have saw this 7 days sooner… I thought the leviathan I purchased was a bit fast when it arrived yesterday, and the foam handle you mentioned tipped me off. So I found and bought the USDM version. FML… I swear I need to direct deposit directly to your account.

If I didn't already have a couple swimbait rods I'd snag up a Leviathan. The price point for the quality is as good as it gets. Craftsmanship. Picked up a F4.5-70X Levante Flat Side Sp about a year ago. Great rod.

Would you say that the F4-72 would be comparable to the F5-72 swingfire that was discontinued? Looking to throw 1/4-1/2oz crankbaits on it

Love this line up!

JDM Levante Diablo Spec-R or the 7'2 Shimano Zodias MH Glass for chatter baits and lipless cranks in Florida?

Should I get these rods over a dobyns extreme HP that I could get for $260?

Great video, problem is, I want em all!!!

Hello fishing friends, I hope you're doing well? I've been following you for a while now.. & maybe you can help me further... I'm looking for a new spinning rod for high cut, illex wobbler ect 5-20wg which rod would you recommend.. for Swiss waters LG Carlitoos & keep it up, you're great

Got the F8 7’10 from this line for fishing heavier lures. I am thinking of getting a new reel to go with it. Suggestions?

great line up

Would the F8 7’10” be comparable to something like a Mk56 in terms of versatility? For example throwing small glides but also able to dabble in larger conventional baits like a 5.6 bullflat or a 7in beaver?

The 6'4" Light & American Leviathan is on my list. My Braillist is a great rod.

the US Brailist is just such a great and versatile rod. I love Levante rods. it used to be my favorite rod but now it’s my every day rod. I beat that thing to death and it’s landed me some giants. Megabass makes a great product for $200

What’s the warranty on the Levante rods? Thanks for the video.

Would the f3-66LV work for 110jr and smaller jerbaits and 1/4oz topwater baits? Im looking for a possible P5 110 stick cheaper substitute.

how much does this F4-72LV - 7'2 weigh? also would this be good for paddle tail swimbait and other single hook moving baits? i want to get into the megabass rods but i dont know much about it

So for freestyle 6in magdraft you would recommend F7-7’2”?

I absolutely could not stand the Levante perfect pitch grip. It felt much smaller than other grips. I tried adding aftermarket Winn grips but I didn’t like the feel.

Ben. What’s the best technique for the extreme mission type f.

Been trying to find some info on the levante f2 64lv 2p for bfs

20:51 🤔 Light texas rigs and weightless senkos are my go to

What would be the best weightless soft plastic rod in the jdm levante

Thanks 👍

Purchased a levante jerkbait special 3 months ago to only throw megabass jerkbaits. 6th trip, the tip broke off. Sucks but no big deal had the rod tip fix. The next trip out the rod snap about by the 2nd guide after boat flipping a 2/3 lb striper. Now thats just terrible, no warranty cuz it was bought from japan SOL for me. Bought a rod repair kit from amazon and its holding up after 1 trip.

Best $300 rod? Orochi XX or g loomis GCX For 3/8 jigs?

I have a levante tour versatile and I love it. I need a jerk bait special

Is Arizona central or pacific time wanting to call in

But I just bought an Evergreen! And no, I'm not going to use the gc on another rod lol.

YES !!

Can’t wait to try one of these, been wanting to get a Megabass rod for years. Also, I heard that some of the custom OSP colors are on Tackle Warehouse now too, hopefully no funny business happening

Dang! F10 and F7 power- these are baseball bats. Whos going to throw a 6 oz bait!? What are you trying to catch? An orca?!😢

Which Levante rod would you recommend for throwing an A-Rig on the Great Lakes for Smallies? I would be using 3.3” and 3.8” baits with 1/8-1/4 oz heads. @thehookuptackle_usa
