Based on the custom rod built for renowned finesse BASS Elite Series
angler Aaron Martens, the F3-610X4S has everything you want in a
spinning rod: lightness, sensitivity, great feel, and power. The 6’ 10”
length and medium-fast taper make this rod extremely versatile, perfect
for jerkbaits, small crankbaits, drop-shotting, shakey-heading, wacky
rigging, floating worms, finesse jigs and finesse worming. With a tip
that offers ideal loading, anglers can even downsize to a 1/16th oz.

sensitive, the active X4 Matrix blanks sport reinforced butt-sections
for stronger backbone. Best paired with Dragon Call line in 4-10lb.
test, the F3-610X4S will emerge as the “one and only” spinning rod you
will ever need on the competition circuit.
The rods of Megabass Pros Aaron Martens, Shin Fukae and Randy Blaukat
on the BASS Elite and FLW Tours, the Orochi X4 series represent
Megabass’ most significant development in multi-axis blank technology.
Featuring proprietary Hi-Tension Active X4 Matrix blanks, Megabass has
built a rod that is both lighter and stronger. This seeming
contradiction is made possible by two technological advances:
- Active X4 Matrix wrap
- Adaptive 40 and 46 ton high modulus graphite
The Active X4 Matrix increases tension and stiffness significantly
with a 4-axis carbon graphite wrap (think “X” superimposed on “+” to get
an idea of the pattern). These exceedingly tough fibers wrap tightly
around the blank from butt-end to second guide, increasing backbone,
leverage and power on the water without adding unnecessary bulk.
However, a wrap can never substitute for blank construction—and Megabass
does not disappoint. The Orochi X4 features an adaptive blank of
carefully selected 40 and 46 ton graphite. This allows for truly
adaptive blank construction that takes into account the specific needs
of each stress-point under varying load-levels—meaning that every single
inch of your blank is optimally tuned with the best graphite for the
job. This adaptive core is further reinforced by its own braided 2-axis
“XX” pattern micro-carbon fiber cross-weave, which runs the entire
length of the blank.
The X4 series is rounded-out with Fuji stainless steel SiC guides,
custom reel seats, and the fit and finish that can only be Megabass.
With a blank that starts off with adaptive graphite construction,
followed by a 2-axis micro carbon fiber wrap, finished off with a 4-axis
carbon backbone—you get a rod that is incredibly strong and resistant
to off-axis torque, yet also light and exceptionally sensitive. And with
ergonomic grips and a 3-Year Warranty, you will be comfortably fishing
this rod for years to come.
