Glide bait rod?

[BassBlowup354]

I’m interested in a dedicated all around glide bait rod. I’m really interested in the 7’11 orochi xx leviathan. Even though it’s an xxh, it has a moderate fast tip and bends pretty deep. I watched the vid with Chris Zaldain and he demonstrated how deep that rod bends and it BENDS for an xxheavy. It’s rated for 2-8 oz. I bet I could getaway with even like smaller open hook baits, but I have a rod for that.

My buddy has one (2nd gen MB Leviathan), he fishes it often and loves it. He throws  DRT tks, k9s, Deps, Balams, etc; on it. I have seen him flip some big fish over weed lines from the bank. No issues so far.

I bought a XH Omega Rods, Leviathan (NFC Blank) which has a nice parabolic bend to it. I like it a lot. It handles fish and feels much better than my 1st gen Levante Leviathan and Okuma SBX Xh.

There are quite a few nice rods on the market, but I don't see why you wouldn't like the MB based on my friend's experience.

 

I want to build a custom next and I may pick up a 7'10" kistler KLX on sale.
