About Assassin
Assassin is South Africa's leading shore-fishing rod brand, developed over twenty years ago and distributed by iFish Tackle Wholesalers. Rock and surf rods are the backbone of the range and what built the name: 10 to 15 ft two- and three-piece casters for the national shore fishery, rated by recommended sinker weight with PE and pound line classes and the South African #3-#5 power numbering, sold in Long Butt and Short Butt builds and in spinning and multiplier versions of the same blanks. The current surf families run from the Surfmaster and Bluefish lines through the Edge Surf Pro, Evo Zero Infinity Taper and Kob Specialist to the Horizon Zero Championship Edition and Beachmaster II Legend Edition competition rods. Around that core the catalog has grown a shoregame arm (Amia Ultra, Kobmaster, Rapid Spin Zero, Affinity, Sierra) for spinning the surf zone, offshore trolling (Seriola, Cavalla, Leviathan Zero), speed and slow-pitch jigging (Artemis, Jigmaster II, Abyss II XT), popping rods, a bass, tiger and estuary family including the declared tigerfish models, and Travel Series versions of the popular blanks. Fuji guides and the Bionic Finger casting grip appear through the upper ranges. Prices are in rand through South African dealers.
What Assassin is known for
The reference rock and surf brand of South African competitive shore angling - the first rock-and-surf maker in this catalog and the source of its discipline value. The Horizon Zero Championship and Beachmaster Legend editions are the competition flagships, the Surfmaster and Bluefish families the volume shore rods, and the Kob Specialist the dedicated kob tool. Shoregame spinning (Amia, Kobmaster) and the declared tigerfish models extend the name inland and up the coast. Distributed by iFish alongside its lure and braid lines.
