Casting Rod Megabass OROCHI F9-710XT

Product highlights

The Megabass Orochi X10 predator rod stands out through the use of organic fiber blanks incorporating naturally sourced materials. Thanks to cellulose microfibrils, it provides highly effective vibration damping and shock absorption, ensuring precise control of the lure and the fish throughout the fight.

Designed by the teams at ITO Engineering, this rod combines technological innovation with an eco-responsible approach. The composite structure used outperforms fiberglass in tensile strength while remaining lighter, resulting in a responsive rod that is less tiring to handle and perfectly suited to intensive predator lure fishing.

The Orochi X10 series was engineered to offer a particularly soft and progressive action, limiting hook pulls while retaining the power reserve needed to control fighting fish. Whether you target pike, largemouth bass or other predators, you have a versatile, precise and comfortable tool.

Technical specifications

• X10 organic fiber blank incorporating cellulose microfibrils for excellent vibration damping.
• Composite materials lighter than fiberglass with equivalent or superior strength.
• Overall soft and progressive action, providing a harmonious bend and precise control during fights.
• High-end design derived from the Project X10 developed by ITO Engineering.
• Range dedicated to predator lure fishing.
• Manufacturing focused on durability with the use of naturally sourced materials to reduce carbon footprint.

Benefits and strengths

The primary advantage of the Megabass Orochi X10 lies in its behavior during fishing. The natural damping provided by the organic fibers filters unwanted vibrations while transmitting important information: bottom contact, subtle bites, and changes in the lure’s movement. You feel what happens below the surface better, without excessive wrist and forearm fatigue.

The rod’s smooth and regular action helps maintain excellent control of the fish during the fight. It absorbs violent head shakes and sudden runs, reducing the risk of hook pulls, especially with treble hooks. This behavior makes it highly suitable for using bulky lures and targeting large predators, while remaining pleasant with more classic rigs.

Another major asset is the overall lightness of the Orochi X10 series. By reducing the blank weight while retaining high strength, Megabass offers a rod that is comfortable to handle during long sessions. Paired with a suitable reel, it provides a balanced setup that improves casting accuracy, lure presentation control and overall comfort, whether fishing from shore or boat.

Finally, the sustainable approach of Project X10 adds real value. The use of naturally sourced materials helps limit CO2 emissions during manufacturing without compromising performance. For the demanding angler, it guarantees technical, modern equipment that is more environmentally respectful.

Usage advice

To get the most from your Megabass Orochi X10 rod, pair it with a quality reel and a line suited to the species you target. Make sure the setup is balanced to preserve the benefits of the blank’s lightness and to limit fatigue while casting and animating.

The rod is particularly well suited to artificial predator lures: swimbaits, jerkbaits, cranks, spinnerbaits or shads on jigheads, depending on the selected model. Match the weight range of your rigs to the recommendations for the series to preserve the blank’s working curve and extend the life of your gear.

Rinse the rod with fresh water after each outing, especially if you fished in slightly brackish conditions. Regularly inspect the guides and the reel seat, and store the rod in a cover or a hard tube for protection during transport.
