Title: 8'6" Black Hole Cape Cod Special 'Nano" popping rod for GT
Post by: Kil Song on November 16, 2011, 01:11:38 PM
We got some interest of 8'6" Black Hole Cape Cod popping rod/blank from overseas recently.
the rod is designed for cast further while targeting big fish like tuna or GT as the Nano carbon rod has excellent power.
The action of the rod is a little softer than graphite rod.
We tested the rod for GT in Fiji in 2010.
Here are some pictures of the rod action and catches.

I landed 80 plus lb GT with the 8'6" BH rod. (my face is blurred because camera lenz was stained)

Yong fought a nice 60 - 70 GT with the 8'6" BH rod. See the action of the rod.

The rod is capable of big tuna or GT.
It is specially good when you need longer cast.

Hi Kil,

Also, interested in one of these rods for landbased popping for kingfish running PE8. How much to ship to Australia?

Cheers

George

If you can't source locally, couldnt be too much to grab one and get it shipped.

A mate of mine has built one up for $400 odd if thats any indication....
