Ocean Revolution Black Devil 100 Tuna Casting Rod
After a very successful Bluefin Tuna casting season in Cape Cod, Massachusetts in 2007, APS decided to develop a specialized tuna casting rod because most of the tuna casting rods available are designed for light lines and parabolic action. These designs did not have sufficient lifting power for stubborn tuna and they hurt the angler too much when the fish is doing their death circle.
Good philosophy is to land tuna in quick time because tuna are always moving and landing them quickly allows us to stay in the "zone". We needed a rod that is able to cast light lures and very importantly, be lightweight to minimize casting fatigue.
As such, we decided a cross breed rod that is between a fast action and parabolic rod. A composite of different modulus carbon was chosen for this design coupled with Fuji SiC components and the result is a thoroughbred casting machine that is ultra sensitive for feeling every headshake and with the capability of turning a stubborn tuna.
APS collaborated with Smith Ltd, Japan in producing the Black Devil and it took many prototypes and field testing trips to fine tune it to what it is today.
