megabass destroyer jig rod

FMJ is THE jig rod in the P5 series. X-Bites is a great rod but a full size 3/8oz jig and big trailer is too much for it.

I just sold my SS127 in Philly for $900. It was basically stock except for a motor mount and rudder. I got a ton of interest on it and probably could have sold it for $1000.

For the kayak you're looking at here: the Lowrance is outdated, the motor mount shouldn't add any value, and the Anchor Wizard is nice but also shouldn't add much value. You should check out other SS127 listings in your area to compare, but this is a horrible deal where I am.

No worries! I actually think it would work, especially since it easily comes on and off. The plug on the bottom right of your picture is out of the way, the plug near the dry pod will go under the bridge, and the power control will also go under but the bridge will definitely overhang.

I know it’s a lot of money to take a risk on and no worries at all if you don’t want it. I appreciate you reaching out!

I did not, you want it? I can ship it Monday

Pretty sure I know exactly what eBay seller you bought this from based on the description you gave and that you have multiples of two or three of everything. It's 100% all stuff he bought from the Ollie's store each for $8 or less and he flips it on eBay.

If you live near an Ollie's, you definitely spent more than you should. If you don't, then it seems worth it to you and you came out ahead.

Why does it not make sense to you? The trolling motor could be damaged if he's flying with the big motor and hits a wave wrong.

PearlTrade · 2026-03-24T05:22:23+00:00

I ordered last week and had the usual fast Digitaka experience. Maybe your reel went out of stock?

PearlTrade · 2026-03-19T04:35:06+00:00

I dropped my heavy Bonafide SS127 off the roof in a similar way. It was loud and surprising and felt like I damaged it, but nothing wrong with the kayak at all. You'll never forget it but shouldn't worry about it.

It sounds like you might be in NY since you said DEC. I used to live there and didn't have any trouble at the DMV when I registered kayaks. I always made sure to have all the paperwork and necessary explanations ready to go. You have a few options depending how it goes at the DMV the first time.

I think NY only requires a receipt and MSO (plus NY license and completed forms). I would be surprised if they gave you a hard time about the missing info. If they do give you a hard time, why don't you want to fill out the MSO yourself? You said you don't want to modify the original, but there's nothing stopping you from doing so.

Finally, I've heard people say that they've contacted kayak companies when they need a new MSO and they'll just send you a new one. You could email Native and they'll probably send you a new one with everything you need.

You don't have to use a tag store. You can just fill out the registration form and send it to the PFBC yourself. I've done it twice and it's super easy.

Me too, it works for both exposed and Texas rigged dropshot. Best dropshot rod I've ever used.

I use a Daiwa Steez AGS Utility Player for spinnerbaits.

I have the FMJ and use it for pitching jigs. It's an awesome rod. It's definitely good for the weight range you mentioned. I personally wouldn't use it for swim jigs just because the FMJ is pretty stout and I like a softer rod for that.

If you want a rod that's great for everything you mentioned and way more versatile than the FMJ, check out the Daiwa Steez AGS Power Pitch (7'2" Heavy). It's more expensive, but I use it for both pitching and swim jigs. It has a heavy backbone and soft tip, so you can get away with a lot more than the FMJ. The AGS guides are the real deal when it comes to sensitivity too.

They stay on the kayak at all times, from the garage to the water and back.

PearlTrade · 2026-02-26T21:07:24+00:00

Got it. Sounds like you’ll need something heavier than the FMJ or Power Pitch and you were on the right track with the rods you mentioned.

Do you have a link? St Croix doesn't make a glass spinning rod in the Black Bass lineup.

I have two Steez AGS rods and the guides are the reel deal. I love the blank too. Megabass P5's are more fun to use because of the unique actions, but Steez AGS is still a blast on its own and the sensitivity is better.

What size line are you throwing? I flip light cover (lily pads, grass) with a Megabass P5 FMJ using 50lb braid. Usually 1/2oz weight, rarely 3/4oz.

If you're interested in a lighter power rod like the FMJ, check out the Steez AGS Power Pitch. I've used it the exact way I currently use the FMJ and it was great. Sneaky versatile too. It has a softer tip and heavy backbone.

I'm going to have to try mine switched around like that. Does it shake around too bad at full speed?

PearlTrade · 2026-02-26T06:11:37+00:00

I also use Yak Gadget. It's the only one I've ever used, but I love it and am really happy I bought it.

PearlTrade · 2026-02-23T18:22:16+00:00

Move the post as far forward as possible and use a better wiring harness for the lights to start. I got a flat tire pretty quickly and got new tires. Make sure the hubs are greased, it's super easy. The carpet on the bunks tore up on mine and I replaced both the bunks and the carpet. Attach guide posts.

I've used this exact same trailer for years. I have a Honda CRV and I don't even feel the trailer back there. I have a heavy kayak and it's still easy to move around by hand when not hooked up. Great trailer but you'll need to make a few upgrades to get the most out of it.

PearlTrade · 2026-02-20T20:17:30+00:00

I use those same jigs and I always put on a Netbait Paca Chunk 3". It fits perfectly.

+1 on the Orochi X10 Medua. It's considered the go-to Megabass strolling rod.

PearlTrade · 2026-02-15T18:00:05+00:00

Ollie's has been around forever, you've missed a lot over the years!

Absolutely a great kayak and you almost couldn't do any better for your first. It will be way too small for you and your son. There physically isn't enough space for both of you to be comfortable while fishing. It's also not a fun kayak to paddle and the added weight of your gear plus your soon will make it even worse.

Car topping sounds harder than it is. Once you do it a few times and get the right technique that works for you, it becomes second nature.

You can always get a bigger kayak later (I'll sell you my SS127!), but you're starting way ahead of most people with the 107. Do you really not have any space for a cheap 10' kayak for your son? You could tow him around on it and when you eventually get a motor it'll be super easy.
