In this episode, we fished from rocks in the town of Jubail in Saudi Arabia. We will be using stick baits targeting Narrow Barred Spanish Mackerel or Cuta as it's known in South Africa. This is a fish of lifetime of the rocks for me.

This striper could be the biggest on the trip and we got striper upto 35 lb. But unfortunately we lost the fish due to tangle with other boat. The light rod is designed for 1/2 oz - 2 oz, but I cast 3 oz Doc very comfortably. This 8.7 oz rod will be introduced by the end of 2017.

The light rod weighs only 8.7 oz. It is designed for small game fish like suzuki, but I wanted to test the rod big striper. I landed about 10 striper in 20 lb - 35 lb range on heavy drag. Jeff landed the striper in no time on heavy drag. This is economic version.

The light economic version of Black Hole tested for striper using light SP Minnow.

we did machine test for light 9'6" economic version of Black Hole rod today. The rod survived 9.76 kg (21.7 lb). We could go further, but the rod tip touched the bottom. I think 21. 7 lb is good enough for the the light rod for striper, snook or albies or drum.

Manny fighting albie using 9'6" economic version of Black Hole Suzuki Special rod/IRT300 reel combo. We were using 0.6 oz lure and I could cast pretty far with the rod. I think the rod is great for albie.
