Megabass Orochi XX Casting Rods


Inspired by the Orochi, the ancient Japanese dragon god of water, the Megabass Orochi XX Casting Rod Series captures 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 the quality and performance you can only expect from Megabass, the Megabass Orochi XX Casting Rods are built with unparalleled precision and craftsmanship.

F4-68XXG Fast-Moving Special - Designed for moving lures like shallow cranks, vibrating lures, and spinnerbaits, the glass construction of this rod is built to "give," and allow the fish that extra split-second of time to take the bait than with pure graphite. Constructed with a unique blend of glass fiber, it is exceedingly light and durable. The length of the F4-68XXG also makes it very easy to cast in every way imaginable - from roll casting to precision-pitching light cranks.

F5-610XX Spinnerbait Special - This rod is a great choice for anglers who prefers a smaller, lighter rod, with the power and versatility to perform numerous tasks. The medium-fast taper is ideal for precision casting of 1/2oz and 3/4oz spinnerbaits, but also finesse jigs, Texas-rigs, crankbaits, topwaters and jerkbaits. It delivers the power to move stationary hooks like jigs, yet the bend and length to offer forgiveness for cranking and jerking.

"This is a stiffer, faster action rod that is great for 6in to 7in worms on a Texas-rig. It is also good for small Carolina-rigs, soft jerkbaits, and 4in to 5in wacky-rigged stick baits. This is a very versatile rod, and is a good choice almost anytime you are using 12lb to 20lb line for everything up to the size of smaller soft plastic swimbaits." - Aaron Martens

F4.5-70XX Flat-Side Special - This rod was designed as an all-purpose graphite cranking stick, with that all-important parabolic bend for just the right amount of "give." It is a very versatile model that excels at applications ranging from vibrating lures and 3/8oz spinnerbaits to medium-running crank baits. And for anglers who prefer a longer rod for jerkbaits and topwaters, it can pull double-duty with ease.
"I'm a tall guy, so this is a great VISION ONETEN and MAGNUM rod. It’s a very parabolic rod, so I also use it for medium depth crank baits, 3/8oz to 1/2oz vibration baits, and medium-sized dog walkers like the GIANT DOG-X and XPOD." - Aaron Martens
"The most universal rod in the Double X line. Works great for everything from light plastics to jigs. You name it, it does it!" - Luke Clausen

F6.5-70XX Jig & Worm - This is a powerful rod designed with a fast taper to deliver a quick uppercut, penetrating hooksets with stationary lures, like jigs, worms, Carolina-rigs, and some swimbaits. Also suited for slow-rolling big spinnerbaits and heaving big, hard-pulling crankbaits, it has the power to handle big baits, yet the lightness to control them with ease.
"This is a beefy rod with a lot of backbone, yet it's still light and very sensitive. It's my go-to rod for pitchin' and short casting a jig. It's great for anything from a 3/8oz to 3/4oz jigs. This is the ultimate tight-quarters flippin' rod." - Aaron Martens
"The ultimate jig and worm rod for fishing around moderate cover. Power and performance in a 7' package." - Luke Clausen

F7-72XX Perfect Pitch - This rod offers the power of a flipping stick combined with the maneuverability of a casting rod. A great choice for pitching, flipping and casting jigs and worms, it is ideal for anglers who prefer slightly shorter rods for quick and devastating hook sets. It is designed to be paired heavy-duty line tests to dominate heavy cover. In addition to pitching and casting, it can also serve as a great tool for umbrella rigs, big crankbaits, swimbaits and spinnerbaits.
"This is an excellent pitchin' rod. It's perfect for pitchin' 1/2oz jigs, but it's a great choice for 3/4oz to 1oz football head jigs as well. It will also work well for medium sized (5in to 6in) soft plastic swimbaits. It's also the rod I use when fishing my shaky fish in 1/2oz and 3/4oz." - Aaron Martens

F5-75XX Extreme Mission Type F - This rod is the perfect combination of power, feel and lightness. It is ideal for casting Texas-rigged worms, jigs, big crankbaits and spinnerbaits. Its length allows anglers to effectively pitch or launch lures, and take up a great deal of line on the hooksets. The fast taper allows for quick hooksets, and the blank absorbs a lot of the fight, so that it is harder to loose those giants.
"My favorite rod for casting Carolina-rigs, football heads and big worms deep. Great for when you want a longer rod to get the pressure on one with a lot of line out." - Luke Clausen

F8-79XX Aaron Martens Flipping Special - This rod is perfectly suited for medium to heavy duty flipping and pitching. It is designed to flip and pitch 1/4oz to 1oz lures into the thickest cover you can find. The rod has a perfect blend of lightness and power, which is crucial to the versatility needed to perform a traditional 10ft flip on one cast, then a 30ft pitch on the next. It has the power to muscle the fish out of the thickest mats or wooded cover. Ideal for not only pitching Texas-rigged soft plastics and jigs, it can also pull double-duty as an excellent swimbait rod.
"The Flipping Special is the nicest flipping stick I've ever used. It's excellent for flippin' heavy line even with a light weight.  What separates this rod is you can flip weights as small as 1/8oz to 1/4oz and it's still very sensitive and lightweight. It's perfect for 1/2oz to 1-1/2oz flippin' rigs. Its sweet spot is at 1oz, where it is ridiculous. It's great for punching as well with weights from 1/2oz to 1-1/4oz. This rod is light and sensitive, yet it has got some serious beef to it." - Aaron Martens
