Megabass Orochi X10 / 6'11" / Medium / Fast | Super Elsiel

Video Transcript

Megabass Orochi X10. This one's called the Super Elseil. I've been calling it a Super E-Seal for like a week and so has everybody else here, but I just found there's an L after the E there. I don't know exactly how you pronounce it. I'm guessing it's L-Seal, L-Seal. This is considered like an all-around rod. It's a 6'11", but it's got, I would say more of a parabolic action when I just bend it with line on it here. That's why we have the wall behind us. We're gonna bend it and see what the action is. Truly with some line on it and under load, but it feels to me like a bank beat and special. Because it's a little shorter, it's on the short side for today's rods anyway, 6'11". Feels like the perfect little wrist roll and like skipping docks with a single hook moving bait rod to me. Spinner bait, chatter bait, even a buzz bait kind of rod in tight cover. It's got plenty of power here. I think it's rated as a medium heavy. It feels like it's got plenty of power, but a little bit of a softer tip section, almost parabolic bend. We're gonna see that here. Came in at 4.7 ounces. If you're not familiar with these X10 Orochi rods, the new ones that just landed here, they are made out of 100% organic fibers. I'm not 100% sure the source of those organic fibers yet. I've heard bamboo, I 've heard different things. They do feel a little different. The actions feel a little softer, but they look like graphite actions. So like traditional graphite actions. So the actions so far lining up to what they're listing them at, but the rods do feel a little bit more like almost like a lower modulus bend, but they feel light and they feel alive. I'm very interested in these so far. There's actually a few models that I'm very interested in myself in, this being number one. I think this would be a killer rod, like I said, for going down the bank tight quarters casting with moving baits. I think it'd be perfect for that to be honest with you. We'll find out here now as we go bend the Mega Bass Orochi X10 Super Elseil right now. Megabass X10 SuperElseil, a 6'11'' medium heavy. I believe this is a moderate fast action list to this, and it's exactly that. If you look, that's mod fast. It's perfect for what I want it for. I wanted to throw like smaller buzz baits, chatter baits, even skipping chatter baits under docks where I want to set the hook and get them out of there. Spinner baits. I've been getting more and more into a spinner bait again as it 's starting to work again for me anyway. This rod feels like it's made for that, and it's light and it feels alive. It's got that kind of moving bait action to it, but I'm going to tell you right now, it might look like it's light powered or lighter powered the way I'm bending it right now, but it's actually got some backbone. And I mean significant backbone. I mean enough backbone that if you're a par abolic jig fisherman, you like to lean hooks that. This straight braiders, you could absolutely have a 6.11 short straight braid rod here for Texas rigs and jigs and things like that. I mean this rod's got a lot more power than it looks like way I'm bending it right here. I'd be super comfortable fishing mid-gauge wire hooks, presentations like jigs and Texas rigs. Maybe not your big thick heavy gauge hook stuff like punch and stuff. It's obviously not that powerful, but it's powerful enough to do anything like that. Skipping docks is all I keep thinking about this thing. Moving baits and skipping docks. It seems like perfect for it. So check out this mega bass super ileseal in the 6.11 medium heavy moderate fast little bank beating rod. This thing's awesome. [Music]
