REVOLUTION BRINGS DESTRUCTIVE CHANGE. THIS DESTROYER IS KING OF THEM ALL.
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.
GUIDED BY THIS SPIRIT, THE LAIHA PROGRAM GAVE BIRTH TO A LIMITED CONCEPT ROD SERIES IN 2019, DEVELOPED TO TEST AND REFINE STANDARD-DESTROYING TECHNOLOGIES TO PUSH INNOVATION PAST PRESENT LIMITS. FROM THIS TIRELESS EFFORT, THE 5-D GRAPHITE SYSTEM WAS BORN. REPRESENTING A PARADIGM SHIFT IN THE BLANK CONSTRUCTION PROCESS, 5-D ENABLES A MORE PERFECT REALIZATION OF THE DESTROYER® THROUGH A NEW METHOD OF PATTERNING AND LAYERING, UNLOCKING UNTOLD POTENTIAL.
THUS, WITH EACH GENERATION, ALL CHANGE—ESPECIALLY DESTRUCTIVE—IS EMBRACED IN THE TECHNOLOGICAL PURSUIT OF THE ANGLING IDEAL. OUT OF THIS CYCLE, DESTROYER® RISES ANEW TO CHALLENGE ANGLERS TO NEW HEIGHTS.
THE 5D SYSTEM IS DESIGNED WITH FIVE PERFORMANCE-OPTIMIZED PANELS: #1 FOR HIGH TENSION IN THE LONGITUDINAL DIRECTION, #2 FOR 45-DEGREE TORSIONAL RIGIDITY TO THE RIGHT, #3 FOR 45-DEGREE TORSIONAL RIGIDITY TO THE LEFT, #4 FOR LATERAL STIFFNESS, AND #5 FOR HIGH LONGITUDINAL ELASTICITY. THE FIVE PANELS ARE THEN PAINSTAKINGLY ARRANGED TO MAXIMIZE AND INTEGRATE THE DISTINCT PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF EACH PANEL INTO A COHESIVE WHOLE, FORMING A COMPLETED PUZZLE THAT REDUCES THE UNNECESSARY PREPREG OVERLAP OF TRADITIONAL PATTERNING AND LAYERING. THIS NOT ONLY REDUCES MATERIAL WASTE; IT ALLOWS FOR A SMOOTHER AND MORE PRECISE TAPER, SEAMLESS LOAD TRANSITION AND A WELLSPRING OF POWER FOR INTUITIVE OUTPERFORMANCE.
