    It was caught with a United Composites Atlantic rod 701 blank that Capt.Richie sold me and my good friend James Diconio built.Had it paired with a Accurate Tern 300 low gear and 65 lb Berkley X-9 braid.Tog hit a large whole white crab on a samfoo rig that Sam 843 came up with years ago.She was...

    Blackfish jigging rods?

    Forgot to mention the new CTS black fish jigger I got from Capt.Richie at Atlantic rods.I am super pleased with this stick but again its a rod that comes into play when I go to 2 oz. jigs.Fishes 2 to 2.5 and 3 oz. Tog jigs like a champ.Probably do 4 oz but once I need to go past a 3 oz. jig Im...

    Blackfish jigging rods?

    Yes Mike I should have been more clear in my post The 701-L in my opinion fishes down to a 1.5 oz jig but I usually carry 2 tog jigging rods with me and don't use the 701-L until I go to 2 oz.I am very particular about rods I choose for the weight of jigs,I carry one that will do 3/4 to 2 oz...

    Factory-If you don't mind a short rod Daiwa Proteus SS-664-ML.Thats one power level up from what I was using yesterday. Custom Black Hole 691-UL by Ralph Rodwinder...Nothing fishes as good as a Rod set up by Ralph. When you go to jigs under 1.5 oz. you really need a light tip or you cant feel...
