Introducing the Black Hole USA GIANT FLEX 75 Popping Rod, a lighter spin-off of our renowned “Giant Series”, is a versatile rod perfect for a variety of fishing styles.
Perfect for fish size from 100 ~ 200lb, but we have a record of landing a 500lb Bluefin Tuna with the 7'6" Giant Flex Popping Rod.
Key Features:
- This rod boasts a delicate tip action coupled with impressive lifting power, capable of handling tuna up to 200lbs with ease.
- Premium Nano Carbon Construction: Ensures durability and top-notch performance.
- Equipped with: FUJI SIC Guides, Fuji Graphite Reel Seat with Double Lock, Rubber Cap with Aluminum Gimbal, and Custom-Built EVA Foam Grip.
Length Information: The rod was built from a 7'5" Giant Flex blank (cut one inch from the bottom of the 7'6" Giant Flex blank). With the added tip guide and the gimbal, the total actual rod length is 7'6".
Comparative Advantage: Compared to the 550g Cape Cod Special Jigging rod, the Giant Flex is heavier, offering more power and a thicker diameter, making it ideal for an optional bent butt. This added strength makes it a robust choice for anglers seeking that extra edge in their fishing adventures.
Also Available: We also offer the 6' Giant Flex Blanks, which excel as tuna jigging rods in conventional, spiral, and spinning setups. They can also be built as trolling rods with roller guides and either a uni-butt or bent butt. Excellent for trolling for tuna in the deep canyons, chunking, jigging, or targeting goliath grouper and swordfish, this rod is up to the task. It’s also an excellent choice for kite fishing.
Meanwhile, the 7’6" Giant Flex is ideal for building as a Tuna Popping Rod, Tuna Rail Rod, Tilefish Rod with an electric reel, and more!
Experience the perfect blend of lightness and power with the Black Hole USA Giant Flex Blank.
