I have a Tatula 7’2” Heavy which is a great rod for flipping jigs, but the tip was too powerful to walk the dog with frog set ups.  Toadface is much better - MH tip and then the Heavy power butt section when you need it. 

Yea I have a Tatula 71H which was also disappointing for the same reason.  My casting distance was horrible, tip would not load. 

You've used a perfect pitch too right?

Yes, the extra fast tip didn’t make

it a very good frog rod either, much prefer the Toadface for that.  Perfect Pitch was very sensitive and good for flipping light/moderate cover... Tatula is rated up to 1.5 oz and a little better in the thicker stuff.  All 3 good rods but some excel at some things better than others..

This is the Orochi Perfect Pitch?

Yes, Orochi extra fast rated to 1.25 oz vs Tatula fast 1.5 oz.  Difference subtle but there.  I liked the PP for light cover flipping but especially 1/2 oz football jigs on hard bottom/rocks. Tatula with 1/2-3/4 oz jigs around grass.
