Designed as the modern standard for 9-inch, 100g-class swimbait fishing, BLACK OUT brings legacy and innovation together in one masterfully. Based on the iconic “GLANZ B73 Circular” — a legendary original model still sought after by many — this rod has been fully reimagined for today’s demands. BLACK OUT covers a wide weight range from 30g to 200g, accommodating a wide range of lure types — from glide baits and big stickbaits to soft swimbaits and heavy Alabama rigs. Its precise, fingertip-like responsiveness draws fish closer, offering the kind of linear, tactile connection that lets you breathe life into your lure with ease. Whether fishing from shore, wading, boating, or exploring new territory, BLACK OUT adapts seamlessly to any environment. This extraordinary versatility is the essence of the rod — and what makes it indispensable. Its hybrid guide system is tuned for both monofilament and PE lines: reducing resistance and maximizing cast efficiency with mono, while suppressing tip wrap and slack line issues when using PE. If you're unsure where to start, start here. BLACK OUT is the perfect starting point for anglers new to swimbait fishing — and the go-to choice for seasoned veterans, time and again.
