Wondering if anyone has some real time experience on the water with this rod and how it might compare to other “Strolling” rods? When it first came out I thought it mostly for lighter lure weights, which I mostly use. However, I see it’s rated up to 1/2 oz so I assume it could handle heavier presentations as well.
I was wondering the same thing. I have several X10’s and really like them.

The one criticism I have heard on the X10’s is that the blank is thicker. How does it fish for you?Originally Posted by Phrog Phil
The Megabass X10 Medusa is a fantastic strolling rod. The solid tip is very light and responsive to shaking baits. It's also an excellent vertical drop shot rod. Even with the 1/2 oz total weight upper range, it does a much better job with 1/8 to 1/4 oz jig heads. I'd much prefer something else using 3/8 or 1/2 oz jig heads + plastic. The Megabass P5 Kirisame Kameyama Special is a hidden gem of a rod for heaver strolling applications.

The jade python fishes slightly heavier then I thought it might and the Jabboerwok really loads up nice.

You guys think think would be a great texas rigged dropshot rod with light line? Thinking size 1 cover shot light hook. My P5 Addermine just broke :( looking for a replacement rod but wanted to hear other suggestions before I just get a another addermine
I’ve got about a year of use on my Medusa, I wouldn’t drop shot with it at all. Its action is unlike any other rod I’ve ever used. I’d go with another Addermine or a Landsat for drop shotting. It is very fast and has a solid carbon stinger tip, it really is the best strolling rod I’ve ever used so far.
