HI there,
my Megabass Spinnerbait Special broke and I am getting it replaced by Megabass. I used this rod for mainly target casting in short distances and also for skipping jigs and plastics.
I am wondering against which latest Orochi Model I should exchange it for (Jerkbait, Tour Versatile) or if I should sell it and go with a different brand.
I am looking here especially at:
* Shimano Expride A Casting Rod 6'6" Medium
* Shimano Expride A Casting Rod 6'8" Med Hvy
What are your thoughts?
Thanks,
Seb.
Which rod would you choose for skipping?

What cover ?
I like at least a mh or h for skipping docks and stuff. I use a 843 or 844 mostly.

Would be from sparse to some medium to heavier cover. Was planning to use braid to 15-17# Sunline Armilo leader for it on a Steez A with Steez SV TW spool.cndbasshunter wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2019 1:04 pmWhat cover ?

Re: Which rod would you choose for skipping?
Something under 7 feet with a nice, flexible tip, crisp action, and a lot of backbone. I think guys, and I'm guilty of this too, tend to get 6'6" pool cues for skipping and that makes it tougher. It needs a soft tip.
This is the way.
