Slow pitch rockfishing

Looks to me like the plus really is in lure presentation, but the minus is in retrieving the fish.  You can short stroke any conventional rod.

This article claims that once you hook a fish, you should point the rod down and fight it just using the reel:

It might be kind of annoying to hook the fish of a lifetime and then have nothing but a wet noodle to fight it.

Rod in hand, it has a strength that I cannot explain...not as noodly as I expected...kinda supernatural I think ....this vid impresses, it is the same strength, less 11", which may have made the difference, as the one I bought and I am now super sold...

Guess I'll have to try one.  200+# Pac halibut is sort of convincing.

Thanks! I picked it up at the Fred Hall Show last year. Black Hole Cape Cod Slow Pitch B632H2MF. I also picked up a BH Challenger Bank C801HS Conventional (Acid Wrapped) and a BH Challenger Bank S801H Spinning rod. Kil Song is a cool ass dude and I'm highly considering going on a slow pitch jigging trip to Alaska with him next year.

Kil is the second angler in the video posted above.

Dang, those Kil Songs and black holes are out of my league by far price wise... but there is always another birthday, we hope, wait..... Father's day is coming up....nah just kiddin'.  Honestly not for bait fishing but I would like to catch my 3rd sturgeon on it and get a feel for parabolic heaven on earth.

That is impressive!

I ordered the 7ft to move around the bow better.  I am tired of spectra wrapping around the rod tip while jigging. I am stoked to try my first spiral wrapped rod.

If we get into a good school of YT or smaller YFT, I'm hoping to get some with my slow pitch set-up on our 8 day trip this year.
