ksong Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Shawn Stack landed a nice drum using 13' Black Hole Surf II Heavy rod out of Hatteras, NC. The 13' heavy rods are exclusively developed for Virginia/NC surf fishermen. I am just happy to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksong Posted May 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 He got a nice shark with the rod too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBig2na Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 I fish that area a lot and he wasn't at The Point from what it appears to me He was closer to Ramp 43 which is a mile up the beach north of The Narrows. The shark was a sandbar shark. its not a matter of whether your rod can catch a fish.. the matter is how well it can cast 8nBait and the physical weight of the rod to hold while you are waiting on a Drum to bite. Spiked rods at The Point are a pain in the A$$ when the Drum Bite is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can it cast 10oz and a bunker head and what’s the price. Is this a one peace or two. are some of my questions. I’m on Long Island and you cancelled your casting day. I was hoping to try this rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aae0130 Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Who cares about the rod. What line was he using....? “Shall not be infringed” was the “talk to the hand” of that period. (Me 2022) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBig2na Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) I've put sharks on the beach much bigger than that one using 17# Sufix Tritanium... without the aid of a " bird dog" like he had to retrieve out of the wash. Sandbar sharks and Sand Tigers are a common occurrence when one fishes in that area. Edited May 5, 2018 by DaBig2na Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The light weight of the rod is an advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to try this rod Sorry we cancel the Demo Day in Long Island. This is two-piece rod (50:50). No problem to cast 10 oz and a bunker head with the rod.

DaBig2na Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 I don't know who Mike Basnight is. Wasn't he using braid? 50/50 splits are going to be a really hard sell to the Va and OBX folks. CTS 1305 and 1306's are on fire down here ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked CTS rods. the Black Hole Surf II Heavy rods are new and I feel the rod get recognition from Virginia/NC surf anglers based on the responses.
