What do you look for in a blackfish rod?

[Garone Custom Rods]

One thing I will say is there is no "BEST" blackfish or any type of rod for that matter. As you can see from the replys here some guys love their "Old School" moderate glass rods while others like faster action. Really the only way to find out what works best for you is to try different things. See if you can borrow a buddys rod and try different stuff out.

Me personally I like a more moderate bend I fish three rods for blackfish, a super tog, super fluker heavy and a Super Seeker SD-36. The first 2 are composites and the other is straight glass. I typically fish braid on the super fluker and mono on the super tog. Funny thing is I sell more inshore lites for blackfish than anything else.
