Re: Blackfishing Rods
On the NK3 last week I was using my heavier 7 1/2 Fish Poison rod with 50lb braid and 40lb mono shocker. Got stuck in the rocks numerous times and bounced out almost all of them losing one rig and a sinker. The 2 guys next to me had light rods with I think was 25lb braid and no shocker. Each one must have busted off 15-20 times because they couldn't whip out the rigs from the rocks and the alterative is putting the tip down and pulling which usually never turns out well. I think this is also something to consider when choosing your set-up. Of course I did get skunked on the trip and one of the 2 guys had about a 4 pounder.
