I tested the 6'8" Black Hole Charter Special Slow Pitch rod for grouper in NC yesterday.
After I lost a few big one because I couldn't stop them, I beefed up the drag over 25 lb. It is too much for the light rod, but I wanted to test the rod's strength anyway.
I landed a few grouper in 12 - 15 lb range.
Not bad for $185 rod. :)
nice fish!
Nice fish, Great rod, thanks for showing, cheers Don.
Great job
