The fishing action to go along with the review commentary is A+
Soooo glad I bought this one man really enjoy my P5 Super Destroyer.
I like how your reviews are on expensive rods. Not a lot of reviews on these rods, so thank you!!
Great video Brian! Adding in the C2C video to show the action on the stick gives a great perspective that you never see on other rod reviews. You absolutely nailed it bro! The SD is definitely one of my favorite rods. It’s an amazing skipping rod, and an amazing chatter stick too!
Great review! It makes me want a destroyer even more
Nailed it. Super explanation of a Japanese heavy single hook rod. The freeze-frame inset of the rod bend was awesome. Look forward to your next one. Debo mentioned you were his guest this Saturday. Should be fun
This was one of your funnier videos. Your passion for this rod could be Heard- due to your funny sounds :) well done and yes, the P5 line up is amazing.
I really appreciate your review, great job! I think I may just have to get this one.
I totally understand what you mean about the hooksets. It took me a long time to get a good hookup ratio with my Tachyon Shaft and I went through the same recalibration. Now when I get bit on it I crackem instantly and it does that super well.
This is a spot on review! The only thing I might have recommended is if you run the rod with 30lb braid it takes on a whole new life! I run one with 16lb flouro for swimjigs and chatterbaits in sparse cover but when you swap to the braid it is an unbelievable topwater and t-rig craw rod
I absolutely adore your reviews man, i own the previous model super destroyer and it's one of my go to junk fishing rods. Always has a use even if it's just an alternative color.
Thanks for the feedback! 🤘
I've been like a Madbull waiting for these reviews 🙌
Excellent Review; I just picked one up and am excited to use it….
100% agree, the grip is the only thing I'm not a huge fan on. Still such a crazy good rod, I've been using it for the 3/8 - 1/2 oz Ouze mainly.
Fun frogging rod too. I saw you got those slither K’s and being on the smaller side, they are perfect for it. I have never fished an Xbites but of the 3 P5’s I’ve owned (SD, Madbull, and Windbuster) it’s easily the most sensitive of the 3. Totally made me understand why my dad still loves little 6’6” rods, the way it cracks hooksets is super fun
I may be amongst the minority or maybe it's because i fish mostly on the CA Delta, but i much prefer shorter rods because we mostly fish shallow. Don't get me wrong i love my XX for punching and stuff but megabass makes quite a few underrated shorter rods.
P5's are what I run on the Delta. I love the shorter lengths. TS Poker for the punch (and bigger frogs). The Super Destroyer is probably my most used rod, because it runs so many baits well. Perfect for a kayak or bank, due to versatility and length.
Great review. Now I gotta get one. 😁
watched one video yesterday liked it a lot love your videos just subscribed today looking forward to seeing many more love and respect to you and your family Paul frome p.a
Thanks for watching! I do my best!
This was my first P5 last year. And I love it. I was super happy with how it could throw anything from a Texas/Free Rig to a spinnerbait to dragging a 3/4oz football. Thank you for this review because I was heavily debating if I wanted to buy an x-bites but it sounds like I can put that money elsewhere in the collection.
OHHH Damn I want that rod 🤩
Hey Punch. If you were looking for a shorter , versatile rod for kayak fishing, would this be a decent standing for the much longer xbites/dark sleeper rods or too much power?
I think I see your X bites up on the trade market soon.. 😄 I pretty much use mine for a light worm rod or finesse soft plastic t rig.
I find that I really like it for throwing 3/8 Oz finesse football jigs for smallmouth. So it's sticking around for now
Awesome video! Thank you for your content. I am debating between the Super Destroyer or the X-Bites for finesse football jigs. Which rod would you recommend for this application? I would also like to throw chatter baits and Texas rigs on it as well. Please advise!
Definitely the Xbites.
Hey Brian!
Just curious what’s the weight of the super destroyer in grams/ounces?
Thankyou brother
About time! Damn!
I have the Super Destroyer as well and I am not a big fan of it for jigs. The handle is too slick and taper is to slow to me for the quick hook sets you described. I have other rods that do a better job... Loomis 803C NRX and GLX, 844C GLX, 904 NRX+, and the 873CCR NRX. However, it is a great rod and fun to fish. If I am going to take one rod on a kayak that is capable of doing it all, it's the Super Destroyer. I can't describe it but somehow this rod, with its weird taper, bends perfectly at different weights and loads. Also, you are right about weightless Senkos. To me it works great for Texas rigged stuff with a bullet weight or even a Free Rig.
Once I figured out the "correct" way to set the hook on jigs, it kinda unlocked this rod for me. It's such a great skipper (I have a bass boat)!
I don't know if this model is going to make it to the Most Wanted Rod- list. Maybe after the 23 models came out
it has enough power to hook set walleye? Because, almost every fisherman in my country recomend to use ex. fast rods for walleye, because it have verry boneish mouth, and it need a lot of power to get the hook in. So i want to try this rod for that typo off fishing jig for zander (walleye)
I am glad to hear that it bumped the X-Bites down. I have the Super Destroyer and the Madbull and wanted the x-bites next. Perhaps, it’ll be the Dark Sleeper instead. How does it compare with the Tachyon Shaft?
I haven't fished the Dark Sleeper personally and I don't plan on getting one, it felt really soft to me in the store and I already have a Daemos. I also haven't touched the Tachyon Shaft.
The dark sleeper rod is so sick. If you are fishing any kind of swim jigs or dark sleepers it kills it. It’s amazing for that technique. I’m not sure how they did it but you seem to feel everything and not miss any fish at all. It seems like the flex is the perfect amount where the fish can inhale it and you can feel it and set the hook without delay and still catch them. Not the greatest for chatter baits though. The tachyon shaft is much stiffer and to me is way more sensitive than the super destroyer. If you like flipping and pitching real close tight docks and cover it is awesome. But if you are bombing jigs far it’s a bit short. But I prefer super fast rods for pitching with decent power to move fish out fast. One thing I noticed is almost all the P5 line has a spot for one specific technique that they are super good at. There are a few exceptions like the super destroyer which can do a ton of things really well.
@@naturecutsinc1108 my only issue is it feels soft over 1/2oz. It absolutely kills 3/8s jigs. I want to use it for sleeper gills but I’m just worried it will over power it
Compared to a Loomis MBR taper would you say it's about as fast? Been wanting an 844mbr but I prefer a shorter rod.
I don't have any Loomis MBRs so I can't say.
can you do a review for the gloomis NRX+ 853C?
Sure, send me one lol
Great video,
When can we see a Madbull review?
I don't have an exact date, but soon.
The MadBull review is BUY IT!!!! I absolutely loved mine so much I bought another one! One for reaction and one for top water.
@@The_Bass_Stunters agree, I pulled the trigger cause of ol Ben at hook up last year, but more or less my top water rod to go with the jerkbait special for smaller topwaters. Some like the big squarebills on the madbull too. I haven't used it for that tho.
I bought the x-bites based on your review (glad I did). Have you used the steez ct sv? Considering buying one for the x-bites...
That's a Steez I haven't picked up. The price tag makes me cringe.
Recommended Combo.
I have got the same combo The X-bites paired with a Steez 700 XHL CT and i love IT.
@@PunchFishing tacklewarehouse has em on closeout right now for around $470, which is why I was considering it
@@kayakfishingforpredators9107 is it too "finessy"? Looking at it for 3/8 range
I got the steez ct SV for like $430 from TW using some mlf code they had. Maybe still valid.
At that price it's sick. If I had spent $700 *I* would be sick.
I’ve noticed that the heavy taper on this rod is unlike typical American rod tapers. I own a poison adrena 611 medium plus. The taper on this rod is very much a medium tip plus medium heavy backbone. How would you describe the taper on the SD? Medium heavy tip plus heavy backbone, or something different? Saving my dollars anyways, and any perspective appreciated.
I agree with you, it's definitely not a traditional heavy.
How would you compare this to the 6'11"m+? I have a PA 6'10"m and would like something a step more powerful but similar. The m+ has always been the plan but I love the carbon handle + it's always fun to try new things
How does this differ from the tachyon shaft?
Tachyon is stiffer from what I know.
How would you compare it to a 803 NRX?
I've never used that NRX so I can't really say.
How does this compare to the tac shaft? Down to these two for jig rod around cover
I have both.. I prefer super destroyer ..Tachyon shaft feels like a broom stick to me. Anything under 1/2 oz doesn't load up very well on tachyon shaft. Super destroyer has same bend as nrx+ 873c crr... Tachyon shaft feels and fishes like the old bearing down .. Tachyon shaft is stiffer and has more power than super destroyer...
@@rtuneloft I went with the super destroyer! Love it so far
nice hat did u get it from TW?
I got it from tackle trap
Is this a good rod for my new Shimano metanium shallow spool?
YES
@@PunchFishing Thank you
Decent topwater or jerkbait or too stiff?
Good question, I personally wouldn't use it as a Jerkabit rod but it might be alright for topwater in a pinch.
Is this rod suitable for punching?
No
Any cons on the rod?
The grip is a little slippery and it's probably softer than most people anticipate based on the previous super destroyers. Other than that I don't really think so. 🤷♂️
Yes, it's $500 !..
This rod sounds sick, but I'm not gonna lie that handle is a bit of a turn off. Looks cool, just not practical.
Good jerkbait rod because of the taper?
You keep using that word parabolic. I do not think it means what you think it means
Hah you're probably right.
😁
@@raytubach8988 I think in this context he definitely uses it appropriately. The rod bends deeper at the the tip, continues to bend (but less) down pretty far into the blank. Parabolic as in the bend amount tapers off at a slightly inconsistent rate, but still far down on the rod.
@@tannerk3732 parabolic defines an increasing radius beginning immediately where no portion is not a curve. In this case the rod would need to begin flexing down into the handle to be truly parabolic. That’s not what that rod does. It is more of a moderate action
@@raytubach8988
That's correct sir...
Who on earth puts gripping tape on his Destroyer P5 Rod handle 🙄🙄???
It's too pretty to cover up
Wear gloves as I always do, problem solved
