Re: Orochi XXX
Man...some of these rods look like they could be a lot of fun. I was going to pass, but I am thinking I might have to pull the trigger on one. Now which should it be...

Looks like a lot of TT members jumped on that Japanese sale, majority of the series already sold out at JLS website.
And I think they showed up just several days ago.
To the detriment of a warranty, I saved considerably by ordering overseas.

Finally broke down and ordered an xXx Chimaera from TTT. Going to be my secondary jig/worm rod.
Any idea when they'll start coming in Gary?

Re: Orochi XXX
They have started trickling in, quite a few have been shipped out, and everyone who has ordered has either gotten tracking or an email about their order. There will be another round coming in with several more rods early next week and will ship out then. All orders are placed with the factory at the time of order and are shipped as soon as they arrive at the shop. Megabass clearly underestimated the popularity of this series! As of this morning, Destruction, Rattle Viper, and Black Themis are left in stock at The Tackle Trap and ready to ship now...shimanogloomis man wrote:Mines coming this Thursday from ttt!

Big thanks to GW and Triple T for hooking up the BT! Picard shares in my excitement....
Re: Orochi XXX
i got the Destruction and Rattle Viper today from The Tackle Trap. these rods feel awesome in hand.
the Destruction is my heaviest powered rod and one of my best balanced. with a Met DC (6.8oz) it balances at the lower part of the foregrip, where it reads Orochi. Its hard for me balance the rod on my finger as the reel is in the way. if this rod fishes half as good as it feels i will be a very happy man.
