    Megabass Orochi X10 this one's got a pretty cool name. It's the Rapid Viper sounds dangerous, Doesn't feel super dangerous in your hands. It's kind of dainty actually this thing is a light power medium fast action pretty odd little rod at six foot eight inches long Kind of screams treble hooks and small treble hooks at that when I picked it up and started bending with line on it It had more power than it had to just bending it on the floor And I'll learn even more once we go behind me here and bend it on the wall That's really where I've seen a rod show me what it's got for power backbone and action This thing does feel like it's got an extremely soft tip in hand Almost feels like a lot of the quick tip rods that are out right now and spinning but in a bait casting version as I put line on it It's slowing down that tip quite a bit and getting into more exactly what mega bass listed as medium fast playing with it without line on it It seemed like almost like a quick tip Really light rod in hand feels like super fun to fish with does not feel like you're going for five pound smallmouth on a jerk Bay with it like you get your butt kicked with it But that could be really really fun sometimes with all the little tiny top waters coming out right now And a little tiny jerk baits and little tiny baits that are bite-getters This might be the perfect rod to deploy those baits with hate to say it BFS. That's what this thing screams To me is BFS. It's probably on the side of what some of the BFS's are even calling power BFS in these days I don't know sometimes I can't keep up this thing does feel like a Little bit like some of the jerk bait rods that I'm familiar with that my friends like that are really light power moderate action Jerk bait rods, so let's go bend it and see exactly where the rapid Viper from the mega bass or rochi x10 line How let's say all this thing bends? All right mega bass or ochi x10 rapid Viper six foot eight light power medium fast tip This thing feels like it Like it's insanely super light. I got a little Set to to look 70 SV on here my own personal reel Together they it feels insanely lightweight surprised me that the rod actually weighed we just weighed it four ounces It feels like a three ounce rod. It's super lightweight, and it's really small in your hands Yeah, and the action is dead on Even with just a little wrist action. It's bending more medium fast if not regular action as I stated or moderate jerk bait rod That's what this thing screams to me with light wire hooks super cold water small jerk baits small top waters That's where this thing seems like to me right away You want to use it with a lot of the new BFS style crank baits This would be a perfect rod for like close quarters battle that kind of stuff I bet you you could chuck some stuff pretty far with this tip because this tip is really really light like I said without Line on it. It almost felt like a quick tip When you put line on it you can absolutely see that this thing has got a very parabolic moderate action to it The tip when you just use your wrist and just try to impart action on a bait still medium fast It wants to bend way back there Really cool rod Seems like this would be a wild rod that would just be insanely fun to fish with from a tournament anglers aspect Unless you were fishing places that were terrible and there was hard to catch bass and they're all really small There's something like that this thing would be a killer tool for that This feels like a bite-gettin rod that if you were fishing someplace that was insanely hard to catch a fish at This would be a perfect rod for that or if you're into fishing for the fun aspect of it Which face it we all should be this thing would be a blast I bet you a 2-pounder would give you just a war with this thing with a bait caster. It's so it's pretty cool rod I'm actually Liking it the more I bend it now It seems like something you just want to go play with and go put some line on and go chuck some little crankbaits around on This is the Mega Bass Orochi X10 Rapid Viper
