Ror Boy Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Has any one used this rod. If so what do you think of it and is it worth the price tag Quote
kschultz76 Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 I've not used or handled that one. There's a review of it on TackleTour. I do have two other Orochi XX rods, the build quality and finish on them is immaculate. Both are casting rods, I have the Spinnerbait Special and Tour Versatile. I just got the Tour so have no time with it, the Spinnerbait is light, balanced, and casts beautifully. The feel and tapers of these rods is unique and you have to hold them to really appreciate it. I'd suggest you contact The Tackle Trap, they carry all the Orochi XX line there and have a lot of on water experience with them. I'm sure they could answer any questions you have and help you determine if its the right rod for you. They aren't pushy, no pressure, and want to ensure you get the right product. Good luck, and if you get it let us know what you think. Quote

Kevin Dush Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Long time lurker first time poster, but I bought this rod over the Winter. Living in Michigan I haven't had the opportunity to fish it yet but as kschultz said, the finish and build is amazing. I have a couple high end St Croix and a couple mid range Loomis rods, and i had a hard time picking up a non US company rid but this thing is sweet. Cannot wait for ice off! Sorry That's not really a review but here's the TT review. Definitely read the tackle tour article http://www.tackletour.com/reviewmegabassf3611xxs.html Quote
Super User tomustang Posted February 9, 2014 Super User Posted February 9, 2014 I played with one, would've been nicer if they used better cork. Besides that overall it's a very nice stick for the price. I think what really got me to pull away was their 3yr warranty Quote
BigMoneyGrip Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 I'll vouch for The Tackle Trap, also. Brian has a great crew that will take care of you. Just give him a call, he'll steer you straight. Quote

I think what really got me to pull away was their 3yr warranty That's a deal breaker for me as well. That type of money deserves a better warranty which there is a bunch of rods in that price range that have better warranties. Quote
