If you’re gearing up for the summer bite, make sure you stop by Black Hall Outfitters Westbrook🎣 in Westbrook, CT. They’ve got a great selection of Shimano North America Fishing and G. Loomis gear in stock, and the staff will help get you set up with the right equipment.

For anglers looking to get into the nearshore tuna jigging and popping game, the Shimano Saragosa 14000 is hands down the best bang for your buck. Pair it with a Shimano Grappler Jigging or Grappler Casting rod, and you’ve got an incredibly capable setup at a price point that’s hard to beat.

For striped bass, my go-to setup is the G. Loomis Pro Blue 904C MF paired with the Shimano Tranx 400. It’s the perfect rod for live-lining bunker and 3-way rod, but it’s also an outstanding choice for flutter spoons and diamond jigs. It’s lightweight, incredibly sensitive, and has the fast action needed to fish heavy sinkers while still maintaining a soft tip that keeps you connected to every bite.

Whether you’re chasing tuna offshore or trophy stripers in the Sound, swing by Black Hall Outfitters and check out their extensive lineup of Shimano and G. Loomis products. Tell them Captain Mike sent you!

The sharks are back… and every year they arrive earlier, stay later, and show up in even greater numbers. It’s becoming the new normal out here.
