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.

    I would go with a 7-7’3 for skipping. But if those two, then the 6’8. I like to stay around 7 foot range. 
     

    I the Tour Versatile in the Orochi XX model and it’s solid. I throw my bigger swim jigs and 4-5 swimbaits on it, but it would be good for skipping jigs too I think.
