MB Orochi xx EMTF for jigs & t-rigs
Anyone using the MB Orochi XXEMTF as a jig rod(1/2oz) and bulkier t-rig 1/4oz-5/16oz w/trailer ? I prefer a bit slower action and read a few reviews on its capabilities beyond moving baits.
I understand the newer version is a tad slower in action. Would I be better off looking for a gen1 or are the newer versions stilll a good bet.Or...should I be looking at something else all together FMJ,Daemos,Braillist ?

I found the G1 XX and the X7 versions to be superb jig/t-rig rods, no experience with the newer offering

So enough hook setting power and good sensativity in your opinion ? Thanks
Re: MB Orochi xx EMTF for jigs & t-rigs
Pass. The current one is a crankbait rod. The old one was great for bottom contact.

Thanks LowRange,that's what I wasn't sure about.I'll see if I can't hunt down a Gen 1.
Re: MB Orochi xx EMTF for jigs & t-rigs
Braillist is meant for bottom contact
Re: MB Orochi xx EMTF for jigs & t-rigs
FMJ is probably more suitable. I used mine for 1/4oz+ bulky Trigs and it worked well. It was pretty much made for 1/2oz jigs
Re: MB Orochi xx EMTF for jigs & t-rigs
Everyone fishes differently buy one and find out Personally they were excellent jig and t rig rods speaking on the the X7 and G1 XX iterations. Top notch IMHO

Thanks Cristo. I'm going to keep an eye out for one and hopefully can score one before spring.
Re: MB Orochi xx EMTF for jigs & t-rigs
Keep in mind that the latest G2 Orochi rods, specifically the EMFT is going to be a medium fast action whereas the X7 in the G1 XX version are fast action. The G2 XX maybe more your taste. In either case I don't think you can go wrong
Re: MB Orochi xx EMTF for jigs & t-rigs
To me it seems like the Gen1 EMTF is more comparable to the Gen2 Braillist than it is to the Gen2 EMTF
Re: MB Orochi xx EMTF for jigs & t-rigs
I would hold off on that assumption(Bigger taper I am sure, lure weight range is quite different) more like Brailist is the younger big brother . Again I have no experience with G2 Orochi line. Not my cup of tea personally. Good luck with your journey it should be fun as always
