BasshunterJGH Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 I have a question for you megabass users. What is the best rod in the orochi xx series for frogging and a little flipping/punching with heavy braid(60-80 lb fx2)? Quote
21farms Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 i'd say the perfect pitch...should do great for frogging but is probably a little short for flipping. i also have the aaron martens flipping stick but that would be way too long for frogging. 1 Quote

Thanks. That's what I was thinking. Sounds like ill need to make a TW order. Perfect pitch, tatula type r, and fx2:) Quote

warpath58 Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I have one of the Orochi XX Casting Rod 7' Medium Flat Side Special and it is one of the most versatile rods I have every used. 1 Quote

DTack Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Thanks. That's what I was thinking. Sounds like ill need to make a TW order. Perfect pitch, tatula type r, and fx2:) Might get blasted a bit for this but I can't agree that a 7.5-8' rod is too long for a frog. I would take an 8' frog rod over a 7' rod any day. I don't have any experience with the Orochi xx rods but I can say a 7'9"-8' flipping stick makes a great frog rod if you're fishing in cover or for any fish over 3 lbs. I'm not saying you can't fish a frog on a 7 footer or 7'3" rod that is underpowered, I just think a higher powered 7'3" rod or a longer more powerful rod increases your chances. Learn to cast a 7'9-8' rod and it is no tougher to cast than a 7' rod. Not trying to confuse your decision just can't agree with a 7'9" rod being too long for frogs. Quote

I'm with you in theory, but walking a frog with a 7' or longer rod on the bank isn't always possible in practice. Quote
