INTRODUCTION

The brand Assassin is synonymous with the leading technology and innovations in Rock and Surf fishing rods and

blanks. Every single innovation in rock and surf angling rods in the last fifteen years has come from the Assassin stable.

First equal length 3-piece, multiple-tip rock and surf rod in the market

First high-modulus heavy multiplier type surf caster in the world

First zero-flex base piece rod in the world (Blade technology)

First trigger winches ever introduced to surf casters

First hollow butts to prevent butt breakage

First ever to use flip-guides on surf rods

First translucent colours ever introduced to surf rods

First multi-piece surf rods with no visible external reinforcing on joints

The famous Assassin Flash just above the grip developed to counter the effects of ultra-violet fading

The first to introduce larger competition guides to cater for heavy leaders

The first to introduce the raw blank low-maintenance finish on surf rods

If you look at the above you will not find a single competitor who has not tried to emulate or follow in Assassins footsteps.

In fact almost every rod that claims to compete is trying to ride the Assassin wave.

From the original locally manufactured classic range, Assassin has added to its stable the entry-level BeachMaster series

of two rods to compete with the other low-price rods in the market and then a further range of imported high-modulus

graphite rods, branded the Assassin Surf Series, to compete with the other cheaper high-modulus competitors.

HIGH MODULUS GRAPHITE VS STANDARD GRAPHITE

There is no doubt the higher the modulus of graphite, the stiffer the blank becomes and the lighter the feel of the blank.

This is fantastic as far as the feel of the rod goes, but it does have its limitations.

It is definitely a little more susceptible to impact and compression than lower modulus graphite. It is incredibly strong from a

rigidity point of view, but in faster tapers, it does not like to bend back on itself. If there is one thing you can guarantee with

high modulus it is the fact that if you try to pull the plug out of the ocean at your feet with the rod held at an angle of more

than 45 to the horizontal, you are treading on thin ice.

The greater the angle and the harder the pull, the more assured you should be that the rod could break.

Something else that has recently come to the fore is that any foreign hard object, such as a grain of sand between

the two walls of the male and female joints, is far more likely to cause a fracture in high modulus than standard graphite.

These types of fractures normally manifest themselves as a split that runs up invariably the male section of the joint.

The effect of the trigger on the winch being tied to the tip and mid-section in a bag is also another area that one needs to be

very cautious with.

If the trigger is squashed into the other part of the blank (usually the mid-section just above the male

joint) it can very easily cause a compression fracture at that point.

The bottom line is, the better the rod feels and the better it does the job that you want it to do, the more aware you have

to be of its limitations and the easier it is to break in the hands of somebody who does not understand the limitations of

this high modulus graphite. An indestructible rod is indeed the easiest rod to build, but it is definitely going to be the worst

rod to fish with.

The choice is up to you.

QUALITY CONTROL

Assassin rods are thoroughly tested and checked in a rigid quality control process ensuring that you get an exceptional

product. Do take the time to read the Assassin Survival Kit supplied in a very useful pouch for important information on

Safety, Guidelines, Care and Warranty.

The rods in the Classic Series are manufactured in South Africa using mandrels designed and used exclusively forAssassin rods. These rods are all custom-built. There are four rods in this series, all of which are available in standard

graphite or High Modulus Graphite (HMG).

All Assassin rods are 3-piece rods. The difference between standard graphite and High Modulus Graphite is that the HMG

will throw a slightly heavier sinker than the standard.

The HMG rod is a touch lighter but substantially stiffer. This material has revolutionised these rods by suddenly bringing to

the fore a lighter and stiffer rod, thereby dramatically increasing casting distances and pulling power.

The HMG rods come with only one High Modulus tip, as any others need only to be made out of standard graphite from a

cost-effective point of view.

ASSASSIN RODS

ASSASSIN CLASSIC SERIES


5/36


ASSASSIN RODS

A number of tips are available for each standard graphite model in the range. Some Assassin Rods can be complemented

with a composite tip, which was developed primarily to cater for those looking for a really fast soft tip or specifically for boat

fishing. The Classic series come standard with a cloth bag, however travel tubes are an optional extra.

Available Tips for the Standard Graphite Rods

Light tips have a slowish action

Medium tips have a medium action

Heavy tips have a medium to fast action

Composite tips are very soft, but have a very fast action.

LITE ASSASSIN (S3)

This is an 11 6 rod and throws 1 3 ounces in standard graphite and 3 4 ounces in HMG. It is used primarily for light

surf and gully fishing with fixed spool, multiplier or centre-pin reels. It is very light in the hand and is great for casting smaller

artificial lures as well.

MEDIUM ASSASSIN (S4/5)

This rod is standard at 138, throws 5oz best with a hard fast casting action. It is a great competition scratching rod but

also very popular when fishing for edibles. It will handle the biggest of these with ease and is great for throwing plugs and

spoons off the rocks. Recommended sinker range is 3-5oz for standard graphite and 5-6oz for HMG.

HEAVY ASSASSIN (S6)

This rod was designed primarily for competitive angling and with its long heavy tip it throws 7oz best and 6oz on the light

tip. There is also a short heavy tip available for this rod. The short heavy tip is 6 shorter than any of the other tips and throws

8 and 9oz. The total length of this rod is 146. Recommended sinker range is 5-6oz for standard graphite and 7-10oz

for HMG.

BLADE

This is a highly specialised rod developed for casting really big baits and pulling really big fish. The base section is oval and

this provides not only a comfortable grip, but zero flex in the base section making for huge pulling power and casting power

with big baits. Whilst the standard graphite version is an extremely versatile rod being able to successfully fish for smaller

edibles and go right through to huge sharks, at 138 most people can throw the standard blade easily, however, to use it

successfully in HMG, one needs to be physically very strong.

Recommended sinker range is 5-9oz for standard graphite and 8-10oz for HMG.


6/36


ASSASSIN BEACHMASTER SERIES

The Assassin BeachMaster is a great complement to the Assassin Range. It has been specially designed to more than

meet the needs of the serious but not necessarily competitive angler, who wants to fish with a graphite rod, but feels he

cannot justify a high investment in state of the art equipment.

There are two rods in this range, namely the standard BeachMaster and the BeachMaster Lite.

Both rods are manufactured entirely in the East in order to keep the pricing at an acceptable level.

Both of the rods are also available in the form of a blank, which we can customise to a customers specific requirement, such

as a high-mount fixed spool application. The BeachMaster comes standard with two tips, a cloth bag and a soft tube.

Each model in this range is offered either with a trigger winch or a standard winch.

BEACHMASTER STANDARD

The BeachMaster more than adequately throws from 4 to 7 ounce sinkers and is 13 8 in length. This covers everybody that

fishes the surf, from young to old, novice to pro. The BeachMaster slots in between the Medium and Heavy Assassin models

and comes with an additional lighter tip, rod cover and soft rod case. Two models are available, one with a trigger winch

and one with a standard winch.

BEACHMASTER LITE

The BeachMaster Lite is ideal for light surf and gully type fishing. The length is 12 6 and it throws from 2 to 4 ounces. This

rod is great for the serious light tackle surf angler as well as for younger folk and ladies. Two models are available, one with

a trigger winch and one with a standard winch. Fantastic rod with two appropriate tips and very well priced.

BEACHMASTER LITE SPINNING

The ideal rod for light to medium surf casting and spinning with fixed spool reels, braided line and tapered leaders.

High-reel mount, but still comfortable enough to fight fish in the normal position.

Extremely user-friendly and easy to cast good distances.

ASSASSIN RODS


7/36


ASSASSIN RODS

ASSASSIN SURF SERIES

The Assassin Surf Series of rods have been designed to complement the BeachMaster range, but at the higher

end, in HMG.

There are five rods in this series, namely Surf Lite, Surf Medium, Surf Special, Surf Heavy Competitor and Surf

Blade. All these rods are made out of high-modulus graphite (HMG), but manufactured in the East.

The significantly lower cost of manufacture there has meant that these rods come into the market considerably lower than the

locally manufactured Assassin Classic Series. Blanks are also available for customised rods.

Customised rods are more expensive than the standard models, which come completely built up with Fuji Alconite Guides

(braid compliant). The butts also have a rubber end to stop the rod from slipping out of the bucket and to reduce the jarring

effect on hard surfaces.

The Surf Series comes standard with a cloth bag and the standard models (not customised) come with their

own travel tubes.

With the exception of the Surf Lite, all the other models in this series come with trigger winches, whereas the Surf Lite comes

with a standard winch, which accommodates multipliers, fixed spools and centre pin type reels.

The surf series models are comparable in performance to the Assassin Classic Series in HMG, with the exception

of the Surf Special, which fits between the Medium and the Heavy.

This Surf Special is fantastic for those anglers who feel that the Heavy is just a little too overpowering. HMG rods come onlywith one tip. As with all high-performance HMG rods, special care must be taken with this product.

Refer to the Assassin Care booklet for more information.


8/36


SURF LITE

The Lite Surf is a 12 6 rod with a fast action throwing 4 ounces best. This is a magnificent light rod for surf fishing where

casting distance is important with lighter lines to compensate for wind or current. It is very capable of handling big fish.

SURF LITE SPINNING

The ideal rod for light to medium surf casting and spinning with fixed spool reels, braided line and tapered leaders. High-reel

mount, but still comfortable enough to fight fish in the normal position.

Extremely user-friendly and easy to cast good distances.

SURF SPECIAL

The Surf Special is a 14 2 rod and throws 7 ounces. This rod was specifically designed to fill a gap in the market and in the

range. It has a feisty, perky action that is difficult to describe, but is the top seller in this range by far. This rod is great for both

edibles and non-edibles and not quite as overpowering to the average angler as the Heavy is.

SURF HEAVY COMPETITOR

The Heavy Surf is a 14 6 rod and throws 8 ounces with ease. This is the big gun for casting big baits for big fish and will

throw medium-sized baits out of sight. A favourite of competitive anglers.

OUR 22 YEARS OF RESEARCH PROVE:

Fish naturally strike blood/injury.

Bleeding bait stimulates the gill flash, feeding signal.

Earth friendly finish, wears during use.

The Barb

Besides the point, the other factor of sharpness (the ability to penetrate) concerns the barb. The Daiichi hooks have two types

of low profile barbs, allowing for faster penetration. Minibarb - the standard Daiichi barb - cuts into 40% of the hooks wire

diameter. Microbarb provides the ultimate combination of sharpness and holding power, cutting into only 20% of the wire.

Carbon Content

Rated at 80, Daiichi hooks hammer competitors in their carbon content. This translates to harder steel and sharper points.

Tempering

Carefully flex the hook gap a little. This combination of strength while maintaining flexibility separates the top quality hooks

from the others! Daiichi takes longer to temper their hooks, but as you can feel, its worth it.

Forging

Did the hook you flexed have flattened edges in the hook bend? Thats forging. The forging process adds almost 20% in

strength to the wire. If you flexed a forged hook, you probably didnt move it too far. The Daiichi forging adds strength, but

keeps your hook as fine as possible for sharpness and livelier bait action.

Here are some photographs of brand name hook points taken by an electron microscope.

Things get ugly at 350 power Daiichi remains beautiful!!!
