I think the Megabass P5 rods are gorgeous in all aspects except for the rear grip. Who's with me? Tequila Bacarac is the only one that has a decent size butt grip. The other models look pathetic. I don't mind cork, foam, or a mix, but I do think balance for handling as well as aesthetic purposes make all the difference.
I Photoshopped the rear grip from the Destroyer TS series to show a more balanced possibility:

I'm not a fan of nubs either, got nothing to do with aesthetics or balance for me though. Just grip, plain and simple. I don't dislike the split grip concept, but it can prove detrimental if taken too far.

I agree with you 100%! It drives me crazy how the big tackle companies are so advanced and yet fail to understand proper rod design. Its. Not. That. Hard.

I’m with ya. While I can appreciate a minimalist approach when we’ll-implemented, I’m not a fan of the P5 or either grips (main or rear)…step it up MB…please…step it up.

I think the locking nut went in the right direction stepping away from the flawed design of the P3 and X7 but everything else about the P5 doesn't deserve the Destroyer name aesthetically. Well except the red rod sleeves looks nice 😀
