Picked up an NS Blackhole Demersal Explorer for a good price - Now a reel
I had some vouchers for one of the large supermarket chain fishing stores who have a 20% off sale this weekend. The Joondalup store has some OH NS Blackhole Demersal Explorer rods in PE 2 & 3 on clearance for $150 minus a further 20%.
Looking for an OH rod anyway and seeing some positive feedback on this forum on these rods I thought this was a good use of the vouchers. I took the PE 3 Jig weight 40 - 180g. I was planning to put an old school calcutta 700 (I know too heavy) on the rod until I find the right reel however the reel seat is too large for the rod. I have a plan B with an Abu Garcia reel.
I have not looked at new overhead reels much until now. Does anyone have an Overhead Blackhole explorer and what reel have you matched with it? Is it a tight fit to get the reel seat into the rod?

ive got the same rod with a Calcutta 250te DC and 30lb braid and it’s sweet! Very powerful little outfit and a pleasure to use.
