addicted2fishing Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Does anyone have any first hand experience using the Megabass Orochi XX Leviathan? I read the Tackle Tour review, and it sounds promising. I'd like to hear of any experiences and with what lures it was used with. Thanks!

clh121787 Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 If it had a 2 inch longer handle it would be almost perfect for baits up to 6 ounces. I love mine bought it when it first hit the market last year. Thrown everything on it from hinkles to huds 10xds to heavy c rigs. And 2 ounce punchin rigs. It does alot well. But nothing great. Its always on my deck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimbaitman Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 I agree with Clinton, its an above average rod for everything but as he said doesn't do anything particularly great. I've thrown baits up to 5 ounces on it and it handles them pretty well. i like to throw my baby wakes and smaller glide baits on it the best. in my opinion the best feature of the rod is the removable handle, amazing feature that i haven't seen on many other big bait rods out there. it allows you to break an 8 foot rod down to 7 feet which is really helpful if you don't have a lot of room in your car. It handles fish really well and keeps them pinned. Definitely invest in one of them if you're throwing smaller baits up to 6 ounces, but if you're looking to throw baits over 5-6 ounces id pick something else. Its the rod that i started out throwing swimbaits on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiggidigi Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 I have a Levante Levianthan and I absolutely love it. I've thrown smaller 1oz baits, and also 8" hudds and meatheads on it. It seems to be a very well rounded swimbaits rod, and the all black finish is perfect touch for me. I'm also a fan of the foam grips over cork, although that would never be a deal killer for me on a rod (such as the Orochi). But, especially after a long day of throwing big baits, the last thing you want is the rod to slip out of your wet hands when you're getting tired. That being said - I've been considering the Orochi, and will likely purchase one by next season, if not this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Patrick Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 I have several Megabass rods and they all handle the maximum lure rating and probably even more (although I wouldn't recommend doing this) But, as one poster mentioned, the handles are on the short side.
