Flipping Week : Orochi Double X Aaron Martens Special!



Introduction: We’d be hard pressed to recall a single rod series from a manufacturer that’s garnered more inquiries, attention, and buzz, than Megabass’s Orochi Double X. Each time we publish a review on one stick, questions come up asking about yet another. Considered mid to high end for most anglers, it’s hard to imagine the Double X series is really an entry level offering for Megabass. But of course, “entry level” is a matter of interpretation. Just because this series is the lowest price offerings from Megabass, we’ve quickly found out that sacrifices were not made in terms of performance. Here now is our take on yet another rod in this series, the F8-79XX Aaron Martens Flipping Special.

Sensitivity wise would you say the XX's you have fished are more sensitive than a Dobyns DX?

Would love to hear how all the rods tested measured up to each other in sensitivity.

Haven't fished a similarly powered Dobyns DX so couldn't say...

These articles were written some time ago so this is a very rough order:

F8-79XX & 781-1 are pretty darn close. I'd have to fish them side by side to tell the difference, but these were the cream of the crop in this set of rods.

PHX-XC796H & IRG7114P-H are tied for number 2 - same comment as above. I'd have to fish them side by side again to see if there's a difference.

Immortal 76 was the least sensitive of the bunch.

Is there more coming? How many rods in all are you planning on reviewing?

Wow, the XX compares to the Edge rods. I'd imagine they would be a tad better than the DX series then. Thanks!
