Destroyer Baitcasting Rods

Products marked with THP in this section have been cosmetically redesigned to the standards of the Technical Handling Package.

F3-63X THP The Griffon
Regular, 3/16-5/8 oz., 5-16 lbs.

This rod is a Hi-10X Graphite version of the popular Super Griffon (The Evoluzion series). If you prefer a faster, up-tempo dog-walk, and a higher-tensioned blank action, then look no further. The Griffon will allow you to control your bait more precisely, therefore demanding more attention from the angler.

F4-60X THP Flat Backer
Medium Fast, ¼-3/4 oz., 8-20 lbs.

With the better handling and responsiveness of shorter Destroyers but with no less castability, F4-60X is another of the higher-tensioned group of the Destroyer series. This rod for this reason will remind you of heavyweight boxer Joe Frazier. Compactly built, yet boy, he was a hard puncher.

F4-66X THP Cyclone
Regular, ¼-3/4 oz., 8-20 lbs.

Among the new Destroyer lineup, F4-66X has changed its appearance more than most others. The newly transformed grip-end has made this rod even more versatile than before. Yet, just like the previous model, this rod will let you see and feel the core concept of the Destroyer rod series.

F4-68X THP Jabberwock
Regular, ¼-3/4 oz., 8-20 lbs.

Based on F5-68X, Jabberwock has been tuned for hard bait casting with more even-tensile power at a wider load range. If you like casting hard baits such as Cyclone, Revenge, Deep-X and Leviathan, Jabberwock is a must have.

F5-66X THP Bearing Down
Extra Fast, 3/8-1 oz., 10-25 lbs.

Light, yet not fragile. Sensitive, yet strong enough to control bait and fish, and beautiful to behold, yet functionally perfect too. F5-66X is one of those rods which represent the core concept of the Destroyer series rods. F5-62X is a shorter version of this rod.

F5-68X THP Bandersnatch
Regular, 3/8-1 oz., 10-25 lbs.

This is a high modulus graphite version of the popular Diablo (F5 1/2-68 XTI/XFTI). As one of the most versatile power rods, F5-68X is perfect for Texas rig, crankbaits, diving minnows, and its application does not choose situations.

F5-69X THP Brigandage
Medium Fast, 3/8-1 oz., 10-25 lbs.

Thanks to Slant Bridge (PAT) design, Brigandage does not seem like a 6-9 rod. With improved handling and its medium fast taper blank, this rod can handle slower and deeper application especially well.

F6-67X THP G-Ax
Medium Fast, 3/8-1 ½ oz., 12-26 lbs.

With just the right amount of power and a fast tip, F6-67X is for Texas rigging, slow-rolling heavy spinnerbaits and other larger bait fishing.

F6-68X THP Rekkai
Medium Fast, 3/8-1 ½ oz., 12-26 lbs.

Rekkai is designed for pitching large size jigs and other underhand casting situations. Our Slant Bridge design allows you to pitch all day without annoying grip end rub against your arm, and facilitates superb double hand casting.

F6-69X THP Super Destroyer III
Medium Fast, ¼-1 ¼ oz., 12-25 lbs.

This is the third generation Super Destroyer, our flagship model. With redesigned rear grip, cork handle and faux marble finish, it has transformed into one of the most distinct looking bait rods in the series. It is powerful, yet surprisingly light and perfectly balanced, if there is anything you could not do with other models, you can do it with Super Destroyer.

F7-72X THP Aaron Martens Model
Medium Fast, 3/8-2 oz., 14-30 lbs. Telescopic

The Seventy-two was developed in response to Aaron Martens’ request for the fishing environment of the United States. Whether fishing in the weedy areas or ripping jerkbaits in the open, this rod will make a significant difference in your performance. Because of ease of handling due to superb balance setting and lightness, you will be more involved, that is, more focused in fishing. And since you will be less tired and frustrated with your execution, not only you will catch more fish, but you will also be more content with yourself.

F7-77X THP Randy Blaukat Model
Medium Fast, 3/8-2 oz., 14-30 lbs. Telescopic

This is the flipping stick Randy uses for heavier jigs. So-called Triple-seven, this is not the conventional stiff stick. Unlike those, F7-77X allows you to overhead cast or underhand cast hard bait as well. This is critical when you are fishing along shoreline with several different cover structures. As with F7-72X, Destroyer’s balance setting, lightness and integrity are most critical with longer and more powerful rods. The rods of this scale except for the Destroyers do not allow you to snap them with your wrist because they do not have these qualities. This explains why actions of the baits are significantly better when worked with the Destroyers.

F7-711X Seven-Eleven
Fast, ¼-2 oz., 10-30lbs. Telescopic

If the Triple-seven is for heavy jigging, then the Seven-eleven is for lighter, finesse jigging. But this rod is very versatile. It is a wonderful long-distance casting rod and is often used for Carolina rigging also. This model has 180-degree spiral guide system. The spiral guide is necessary for two reasons. By forcing the line to rest on the guides it increases sensitivity. And also it counteracts the twisting force. This is an extraordinary rod. For 2005 This rod received cosmetic changes.
