2/21/14: GRAPHITE vs. NANO - Black Hole Cape Cod Special 8'0" Graphite & 8'0" Nano Popping Rod

20th Feb 2014

Some people asked us what is the difference between Graphite and Nano. 


*Graphite has more backbone (stiffer).
*Nano is softer, but stronger.


We tested casting for both Black Hole Cape Cod Special 8'0" Graphite and Nano, and we found that Graphite cast little bit further than the Nano.

So, it really depends on your fishing style.
*If you like stiffer popping rod, then 8'0" Graphite is recommended.
*If you like parabolic with enough backbone, then 8'0" Nano is recommended.


You can see the action of each rod from our YouTube videos:
