Q&A: Yellowfin Tuna Popping Rod Recommendation with Stella 14k

Question:

Answer:

"I recommend 7'3' and 8' Black Hole Challenger Bank H rods for YFT in Gulp of Mexico. (https://www.blackholeusa.com/challenger-bank)


If you look for two-piece rods, I recommend 7'6", 8' and 8'6" Black Hole Cape Cod Special popping rods. (https://www.blackholeusa.com/cape-cod-special-nano-popping)


I don't think you get 900 yards of 60 lb with the reel. Normally 400 -500 yards are good enough."
