The Black Hole Dark Horse II Bass Rods mark a new evolution in the pursuit of big bass.
Built with CTX (Carbon Tape X‑Wrapping) technology, the Dark Horse II blank delivers powerful rebound strength, crisp recovery, and the control needed to pull fish out of heavy cover with authority. This series features eight purpose‑driven models—far beyond entry‑level—engineered to attack every type of structure: grass beds, laydowns, rock piles, levees, bluff walls, bridge pilings, and more.
Equipped with Fuji Alconite guides for lightweight durability and paired with customized reel seats (NS‑01C, NS‑02S), the Dark Horse II reduces fatigue during long days of repeated casting. Every detail is tuned for serious bass anglers who demand sensitivity, strength, and all‑day performance from their rods.
