I tested my megabass orochi xx 7'9" flipping stick casting a sieberts jig today. It was very underated for this purpose. The rod is phenomenal for this function. It honestly was phenominal. It controlled a football jig so very well. I will be testing the warhammer soon and will give you guys updates. The 7'9" was tested against a 7'4" st croix avid x heavy fast. Not even a comparison.
