Product description
A New Benchmark Blank for Record-Class Tuna
The 7' Overkill is a hybrid multi-layer blank featuring a forgiving tip and an ultra-powerful butt section. It stands out as a new flagship choice for serious spinning anglers targeting giant tuna who demand strength, reliability, and all-day comfort. Its softer tip, compared to the Giant Series, absorbs violent runs more efficiently and makes extended use with a fighting belt significantly more comfortable. The distinctive deep red carbon finish adds a premium touch to even the most technical custom rod builds.

The Missing Link Between Power and Flexibility
Nano Carbon Construction Tested to 22 kg in High-Stick Conditions
The Overkill Blank combines Nano Carbon technology with WXW Wide X-Wrapping reinforcement to deliver exceptional structural strength. This advanced construction enables the blank to withstand extreme loads, particularly during the fight when the rod is lifted into high-stick positions—a common situation when using a fighting belt. Unlike ultra-fast action blanks, its more progressive bend distributes pressure more evenly, reducing stress on the angler when fighting fish at difficult angles. The powerful lower third provides an immense power reserve, ensuring complete control even over the strongest fish.
Superior Comfort with a Black Magic Fighting Belt
The forgiving tip of this Black Hole USA model has been specifically tuned to improve the action of soft plastics and poppers when casting to feeding tuna. Its controlled flexibility helps maintain constant pressure while using a Black Magic-style fighting belt, maximizing mechanical leverage throughout the fight. The blank performs exceptionally well at tight fighting angles, providing added security during the final stages of battles with trophy tuna. Its outstanding recovery speed—comparable to a spring effect—launches your lures long distances with remarkable accuracy and consistency.
