Black Hole Cape Cod Special Nano popping rods are 40% stronger than the graphite models. If you like parabolic action with enough backbone, then Nano is recommended. The Nano is also good for anglers with weak backs.

Casting masterpiece

Love this rod. It is light and strong with plenty of whip. The distance it achieves with little effort is impressive. Even light poppers can travel out a long way. Good control with larger fish.
Pros
- Light weight but strong

Have matched this rod with a Tranx 500 HG and the combination is ideal for tuna and wahoo. Throws bombs with ease and has plenty of backbone for hard running fish.
Pros
- Nice and light for easy throwing

Great rod
December 31, 2018
Rod loads well under heavy drag pressures and landed many 80-100# yellowfin easily. I feel the 80n is the perfect length for casting from head boats.
Pros
- Great casting, powerful backbone
Cons
- None

Excellent rod, used in Panama for big yellow fin tuna, have the 8' and 8'6" the shorter rod was better for playing the bigger fish, and the longer was great for casting distance
very good all through action and a very powerful rod when you want to give the fish some welly

Looking for the right rod to pair with a 19 Stella 14000xg. Popping, pencils, maybe more, looking for a bit of versatility.
1 Answer
You will be happy with both 8ft and 7ft 6, The difference between the two is minimal slightly bigger and slight lure rating difference. You may find to like to 8ft better due to longer casts and more torque when fighting big fish due to the length and slightly more back bone to it.

What is the lightest Lure weight the 8'0" nano can cast comfortably and is this rod strictly for popping or can it be used for stickbaiting as well?
1 Answer
Hi Christopher, According to Black Hole, The Black Hole 80N Cape Cod Special Popping Rod - Nano has a lure weight rating of 30grams - 60grams. It is a stickbait rod rather than popping rods though you can cast poppers with it as well. Please let us know if theres anything else we can assist you with. Tight Lines.

What size rod do you recommend for the stella 18k sw for fighting big yellowfin tuna the 8”0 or the 8”6?
1 Answer
Cant go wrong with either of these rods, both very great options. the 8'6 rod would just give you that little bit extra rod for leverage and casting distance

I have the 86n & have landed some big GT's on it, but I think its a bit overkill for Bluefins in the 20 to 50 kg range. Would like to know a little more about about the 76n, whats the lightest weight it will cast reasonably well with say a 10000 size reel & pe 8. Or would a smaller reel suit it better. I'm interested to hear anyones thoughts.
1 Answer
The rod will be great for Bluefins. We suggest sticking with a 10000 size reel. The casting distance will be cut more due to the rod length than anything else. As for lure weight, 2 oz. is probably the low end of the range.
