Introducing the Black Hole USA Giant Flex series, a lighter spin-off of our renowned “Giant Series”, is a versatile rod perfect for a variety of fishing styles.
6' Giant Flex:
The 6’ Giant Flex Blank excels as a tuna jigging rod in conventional, spiral, and spinning setups. It can also be built as a trolling rod with roller guides and either a uni-butt or bent butt. This rod is perfect for targeting Tuna, Goliath Grouper, Swordfish, and for Kite Fishing!
7'6" Giant Flex:
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!
7'2" Giant Flex Heavy:
The new 7'2" Giant Flex Heavy is the heavier version of our Giant Flex series, engineered for serious big‑game anglers. At 7'2" in length, it’s the ultimate tuna popping rod, perfect for handling fish over 100" (≈254 cm). Versatile in design, it can also be built as a conventional jigging rod with bait or used as a rail rod for West Coast fishing.
This rod has already been abusively tested in both the U.S. and Europe for giant tuna fishing. Capt. Tim of Hail Mary Fishing Charter proved its power by landing a 100" (≈254 cm) tuna with 70 lb of drag on the Giant Flex Heavy — a true testament to its strength and reliability.
