JDM Orochi X10 rods

[newyorktoiowa57]

These have been out awhile but still haven't heard much about them. Does anyone have experience with them? They seem a little cheaper than a JDM destroyer.

 

Some of the coolest looking rods I've ever seen for sure.

You had to bring this up eh?   LoL.  
 

I was about to pull the trigger on the swamp survivor and jabberwock the other day but talked myself out of it.  🤦🏻‍♂️.   I still keep teetering on those 2 models.    I haven’t heard bad about them and what I have heard about them is all good.     I’ll eventually grab a couple in the spring/early summer before bass opens up here.

I am torn between this one and a P5 dark sleeper.

 

This looks way cooler, but the dark sleeper may be a more versatile rod.

 No.  They are the most expensive.

The other rod I want to consider is the 72M arena-but I haven't been able to find it on a JDM site.

I've been eyeing the Kirisame Bait Finesse and Jabberwock. I'm confused about the price point though. Why release a second line of graphite rods in the same price point as Destroyer p5? Or am I missing something?

 

The lineup as a whole, to me, looks much more interesting than p5 though.

Are the new orochi rods supposed to hit the US this yr?

I want to try this F1.5 BFS model

Just received the "cliffhanger" BFS rod and tried it out this morning. Unbelievable rod. Very impressed! They weigh a bit more than the P5s, but still pretty light. Balance is great. Hard to describe the action. Soft but fast. I got the Cliffhanger BFS and had no problem throwing 3 inch weightless senkos. Sensitivity was very good, but you quickly get into the "backbone" when you need it. Very pleased with the rod!

And the slowest shipping to any JDM company.

[ABU is overpriced]

I want them to make a 4 piece model so bad. Would love one for travel.
