Megabass Orochi XX Spinnerbait Special and Mission Type-F

Post by Big-Bass » Fri Sep 15, 2017 6:44 pm

What SV103 would be better for these rods? H or XS? I currently have 8 of them :D (5 in 6.3 and 3 in 7.9). Thanks!

Well completely depends what you're going to use them for!
I have a 7.1 on one and a 7.4 on the other, personally.

Hard to answer without knowing the intended use of the rod

Assuming the spinnerbait special is being used for moving baits then 6.3. The emtf is a great multipurpose rod, anything from senkos to trigs to chatterbaits etc... I would go 7.9 on it.

The SS model seems to also do double duty aside from moving baits from some reviews. Would the Type-F also be a good jig rod as well as a spinnerbait rod in a pinch? What is the taper like compared to say a Dobyns 734C?

I use an SV103 7.9 on my EMTF. I use a Calcutta Conquest 100HG on my Spinnerbait Special. I would use the SV103 6.3 on the SS.

I use an IP68 on the Spinnerbait special. Very good match.

Enjoy them both, unfortunately I missed out on the EMTF but I had a SBS. The SBS was a nice all around utility for me at one time. Enjoy the both, I believe the jewel is the EMTF though :big grin:
