My brother has a 7'9" from back in the day when Cajun was here in Florida. Awesome rod. So I decided to give these two a go but I have not fished them yet but when I received them there were a few crooked guides that needed adjusting and the top of the foam on the 8 footer is loose but that's no big deal and the 7'9" does not have the American flag on the blank which once again isn't a huge deal but it is a nice touch. Just worry about quality control here.

Hella Bomb performs!!!
I've had my first HellaBomb for a few years now and absolutely love this rod! 8' is perfect both in the kayak or boat, extra heavy and fast action make this my favorite rod for Pelagics, Cobia, Goliaths, Tripletail, Snook, monster Goldfish,...you name it. My first one came with the small guides which make it amazingly accurate to cast, a real advantage when peeling Cobia off rays.
Jess was super helpful with ordering my second HB with slightly larger guides allowing for a heavier leader/topshot with enough clearance for an FG to pass through the guides - lots of backbone to get fish turned and out of wrecks, holes and from under ledges; slow trolling or free-lining live baits. Despite it being stout, the fast action is super fun and makes the Hella Bomb(s) my absolute favorite rod. Updated with a hook keeper on the current Hella Bomb, they're my go to weapons of choice.
If you're an addict like me, do yourself a favor, get a HellaBomb and hang on to tour shorts 🎣

Good backbone.
I have 4 of these rods. I’ve had one problem on one rod. Guide hole was covered with clear coat. First guide below eye. Quality control missed this. While clearing it, I got too aggressive and broke the guide. My fault. I have since wrapped a new guide on and you can’t tell anything ever happened. The rods have great backbone and put the pressure on the fish. All 4 have penn slammer 4500 spooled with 20lb J8 grand. Super outfits that do the job. Was free lining red snapper yesterday and it did the job til a 9’ bull shark ate one of them. Couldn’t stop the shark but the rod performed good til the line cut on the teeth. Still need to test out on kingfish and would like to see how well it works with black fin tuna.
