Megabass Orochi XX Spinning Rods

The Megabass Orochi XX Spinning Rod Series was inspired by the Orochi, the ancient Japanese dragon god of water, and designed to capture the raw power and control of its namesake through Megabass’ cutting-edge blank manufacturing process and an uncompromising eye for quality and performance.
Guided by the unparalleled expertise of Aaron Martens and Luke Clausen, two of the premier professional bass anglers in the world, Megabass set out to design a line of rods that would earn a place on the front deck of their boats, and put the power of the legendary Orochi into their hands. Purpose-built for tournaments where a single cast can make all the difference, each Orochi blank is custom designed to match the rod’s intended application.
Crafted from premium super low-resin 40-ton carbon, each blank features a vertical-axis carbon core wrapped with a 2-axis XX-Micro Carbon layer, followed by an additional vertical-axis carbon layer. Each blank is then finished off with a 4-axis carbon wrap that goes from the butt section to the mid-section, for a total of 6-axis. Since carbon material is strongest along its axis, this unique manufacturing process adds significant strength to combat blank twist and improve overall structural integrity - all without adding unnecessary weight.
Each Orochi XX Rod also has a carefully selected range of tangle-free Fuji KWSG, KR-H, and Fuji small caliber Alconite guides for smooth casting and increased sensitivity, and premium Fuji ECS Reel Seats deliver direct contact with the rod blank and lightweight base for your reel. Delivering a fit and finish you can only expect from Megabass, the Megabass Orochi XX Spinning Rods are built with unparalleled precision and craftsmanship.

F3-611XXS Drop Shot - Designed to the tournament specs of renowned finesse angler Aaron Martens, this rod was built to have the ideal length, taper, and feel required for critical drop shot bites. Its medium-fast taper provides it with the perfect blend of tip and backbone required to handle finesse rigs and haul your fish straight to the live well. The length and taper are also well suited for shaky head fishing, as well as small crank baits, jerk baits and wacky-rigged soft plastics. For many anglers, the versatility of this rod will allow it to satisfy all their spinning tackle techniques.
"The F3-611XXS is a great 7lb to 10lb line drop shot rod. It’s excellent for throwing 4in to 6in worms, and ideally suited for places like the great lakes, Guntersville, Clear Lake or anywhere where you are fishing for bigger fish. I would recommend it for anything from 1/16oz to 1/2oz drop shot setups. This is not your average ultra-light tackle drop shot rod." - Aaron Martens, BASS Elite Series pro.

F3.5-70XXS Shakey Head - This rod could easily be considered the ideal shakey head rod. Built for finesse applications where a quick, solid hook set is required, the combination of rod's length/taper allows for extremely long casts, precise control over the action of lures and rigs, takes up line quickly during hooksets at distance, and the tip-softness necessary for fighting big fish without fear of breakoffs. An excellent choice for bottom-finesse methods, but also for small crankbaits and jerkbaits.
"This is my go-to shakey head rod, especially when I am fishing 6in worms. This rod is perfect for 7lb to 10lb, even 12lb line with 1/16oz to 3/8oz shaky heads. It’s a great rod for skipping docks and fishing tubes, and while it’s good with lighter rigs, this rod still has some solid meat to it." - Aaron Martens, BASS Elite Series pro.
