Let’s Pump Like a Man...

@GARRIGA what are the rod’s names from Jongsoo? Is Jongsoo a person or a rod company? I’m sorry I’m not familiar with these.

 

I think both

 

kblue should be with you shortly... He is still playing sick still since his last trip.

 

Thanks to all who helped .

 

You’re a bad man.

I don’t care who made them, I’d love to get my hands on the 250g version.
I’m guessing that shipping will make these cost prohibitive here in the states unless someone becomes a dealer and brings a mess of them over or Unless, of coarse, you’re very wealthy and don’t care what things cost.
I really do like the bend in the lighter model here.

 

Check with https://www.dhgate.com/ see if they have them.

 

Kim ,they don't have it
thx

 

Hearty Rise is all over alibaba someone is slamming the markup on these don't be a sucker

also, a "hearty rise" may be mistaken for a boner, watch out!

 

garriga what rod you looking for?
temple reef bamboo 68-2 for sale
not sure your strong enough though to handle it(that too is a joke)

 

Garriga, who exactly told you you can't use the rod to pump the fish when slow-jigging ? I think you have been too impressed by the Japanese Sensei...

Here I'm fighting a mullet snapper -these things fight DIRTY- using heavy drag. IMO the Black Hole rods are among the best for "masculine slow-jigging":

 

what about one of our clients pumping and highsticking a Beat Propagate, one of the "purest" slow-jigging rods, very similar to the Poseidon if not a little bit more "noodle"...

 

don't know but definitely not 25 lbs. That rod would have exploded in 12 pieces about mid-way up... I'd say he had about 12 pounds of drag (measured out of the reel).

Don't listen to the hype too much. Some SP rods have an action more suited to work the lure, some more suited to fight the fish. One advantage is always a tradeoff with the other. All rods can be used for anything you'd like as long as you are able to adapt...

 

You can use 25lbs of drag on a Black Hole slow jigging rod AND pump the fish providing you don't go much past horizontal position at the grip. Still an excellent rod for presentation of a slow-jig. I don't think I've ever heard of someone breaking one of those. I'm sure it can be done if you really apply yourself, but i fish as heavy drag on it as I would use with my speed-jigging, 65lbs setups without worrying at all. Not too far from the best of both worlds if you ask me...

 

On that mullet snapper in the video I'm probably using about 18/20 pounds of drag. I basically crank the star until it does not move any more and then back up until I hear one click. That's how I set the drag on the revo Toro Beast 61H for that outfit. The rod can actually handle more drag.

 

most modern rods will never break at horizontal / 90 position. I reckon it would take somewhere around 60 pounds or more of load to break the Black Hole in that position.
