The information you provided really assists to understand the total role of the rod as a tool for fishing … thank you …. It assists when making a decision about shelling out money on good all round rod.
Sit ek nou lekker in die VSA en kyk na jou videos, ek gaan amper huis toe ek bly in st francis baai in die oos kaap en jou videos het my so lus gemaak vir visvang ek byt sommer aann hoek. Dankie vir die lekker visvang hou so aan.
Great video, many thanks, I see on the Assassin website, there is a "Edition 4" in a 15 foot and then also an "Edition 9" in a 14 foot (XXX Heavy) if I am understanding the site correctly ? I think what is also really great is the protective case these rods come in. I have a Bluefish and Equinox and they come is a thin little bag which doesn't give much protection ! What has happened during transport is the tip ceramic lining has either come out completely on the one or cracked and the sharp edge has ripped my braid to bits on the other ! So if I was going to give Assassin some feed back it would be to incorporate some better protection on their other rods they have and not just the Championship Edition.
G,day Xander, Great channel always full of really helpful and entertaining content , that 5 sounds the ducks nuts for catching Mulloway ( Cob) over here in Australia, shame we can’t get our hands on one, keep up the great work. Cheers Russell
Haven't done it as yet and never just thought I'll do it but I'll finally put the multipliyer aside and go grinder🤫.. If I could have one of these rods🤩
Couldn't have said it better.this is by far the best production of rods that you yourself and horizon had cumup't with. Lots of thanks for sharing this owsome experience with us lots of love superstuff the gaot🐐of rock and surf🎣🎣🦈👏👏🙌🤘
I have learned so much from you. Even download episodes to watch offline if there is load shedding. I am still learning and building up my gear. Those rods look great! I would pick the 6 or 7 I think. Sub’d a while ago already. Keep up the posting 🎣 🐟
Fuji Torzites are the most advanced rod guides. TORZITE is Fuji's answer to the ultimate ceramic ring. This new material is smoother and tougher than SiC, with better fracture resistance, higher polish and enough strength to reach SiC performance levels in a narrower ring that is up to 30% lighter than SiC.
Again, Thank you for sharing so much insight and your experience with us. I'm a newbie, and your videos really broaden my understanding or what to do and what not; which gear to use and how to rig my setup. Appreciate your work and in a way envy you, because you have all the lekker equipment 😂 keep on pushing, we need you!
@@jonogreen7929 haha they are edible. I use them for bait. I inly dislike them when I am fishing for galjoen and they eat my baits all the time, then they are like pests😜
Great review, thanks! I switched to the zeros from the berkleys, 3 months ago. MH, H and a HXL. It “feels” like I cast the 14ft better than the 15ft. Is the MH, that is now the 5(?) capable of: Slide a livie? Catching crackers? I would like to move to 1 rod, but it seems you need to have the 5 and 6 I only fish edibles, just size edibles as I am of the opinion, the less the big fish is caught, the better for their survival (just my opinion) The 6 would most probably be an overkill for me However, can the 6 also be used for n gallie? Thanks for your excellent channel and responses
Thanks! If you are looking for one rod to catch it all(edibles) the 5 is the one! From a gallie to a 100lb kob and crackers! It will do the job from casting a 4oz and a gallie bait to a 5 or 6 oz with a big cracker bait or a live mullet! The 5 is my go to edible rod, specially for kob! It throws a live mullet really well👌🏻
@@zoolookfishing Dankie Zander, ek waardeer geweldig baie. Ek sit die 3 stokke in die mark en gaan my 5 bestel met groot afwagting. Sien uit na jou volgende video
@Zoo Look Fishing hey have you tried the new twin power sw yet? Also what size would you say a 10,000 size shimano is in Penn size? around 7500?? thanks
They are still great! It is just new technology and we have to move with the times! The new rods are great and I had a lot of questions around them, so this is to inform people about them as well as the difference between the previous models and the new models. It this not mean that the previous model is now not good, they are still great rods!
Cheers mate would love to win one I use the beach master zero Have caught mulloway tailor tiger sharks pink snapper etc If that rod has allowed me to land those fish with ease would love too see how good these new rods handle I’d even pay for shipment to Western Australia I’m that keen to try one of these rods out Cheers 🍻
Hi i know you are a shimano guy. How would the Shimano Stella 14000XG go with the #5 (i have bought the #5, on your recommendation, for edibles, waiting for delivery next week)
Sorry, I only saw your comment now. Ideally you would want to put on a 10k or 14k for edible fishing on a #5 the New JDB DNA braid is a great braid! I highly recommend that you try it. Kind regards. Xander.
@@zoolookfishing Thanks Xander really appreciate it. i have bought the Shimano Stella SW 14K XG (2019) to pair with the Assasin #5. will check the braid out. Have been told unless i am targeting 100lb plus fish (which i am not) the 14K XG is fine. and it can double as a popping reel on a smaller rod. Is an expensive set up, but am off an age i will only be buying it once and is a treat to myself ...hopefully i will actually catch some fish :) In all honesty i normally fish offshore and am new to the surf fishing lark, mainly want to just get out on weekends and enjoy a bit of nature and excercise... fish is a bonus! :) Thanks again for all your vids and advice.
Hi, Ek woon in Perth Wes Australia . Kyk graag jou videos. Ek het n Assassin 14ft Horizon HXL , ek het die voorste gedeelte verloor. Lang storie…😢 Assassin Australia het nie spares vir die 14ft hxl horizon nie. Enige kans jy kan help, of weet van iemand in RSA wat kan help. Dankie Marthinus kemp

@@zoolookfishing quick question, gou... Are blacktails edible? Seems like you dislike them so bietjie
@@jonogreen7929 haha they are edible. I use them for bait. I inly dislike them when I am fishing for galjoen and they eat my baits all the time, then they are like pests😜

Looks awesome, can’t wait to win mine! 😎
Good luck!
I only use Assasin brand, I want one for sure. How much are they going for?
Awesome video I hope whoever wins it has many awesome fishing adventures🎣
What reel will I uses with the number 6 in Shimano

Enige idee wanneer die 5 en 6 op die rakke sal wees?
@Zoo Look Fishing hey have you tried the new twin power sw yet? Also what size would you say a 10,000 size shimano is in Penn size? around 7500?? thanks
How strong is the new evo infinity 7?
Very light? How light? What is the weight of each rod?
Awesome video bud 💪need that 6 for the league 😍would love to own one
Its a must have for lease anglers🤙🏻👌🏻
Stop it! You making me want to get one😂.
Great video!!
Hi Xander! Vir n all-round edible stok sal jy die 5 of die 6 aanbeveel?
Hi! Ek sal sê die 5 is meer n all round edible stok🤙🏻👌🏻
Great video. Those are my dream rods. I would really like to win one of those
When will these be launched for the public?
Within the next 6weeks or so🤙🏻
Hi would love to win one- just a recommendation..you were punting the Old Zero and so many guys went out and spent R8000...and now they arent so good?
They are still great! It is just new technology and we have to move with the times! The new rods are great and I had a lot of questions around them, so this is to inform people about them as well as the difference between the previous models and the new models. It this not mean that the previous model is now not good, they are still great rods!
nice mr zoo look ,, always inspire me nicee
So is the 5 replacing the 3 - 5 Oz MH old zero?
The 5 is rated 4-6oz optimal for 5oz and the 6 is 5-7oz optimal for 6oz
I've been trying to find one of these rods, I remodifed my ugly stick big game to look like one and it looks fine.ere do I find this like sir ?
You can have a look on the following link
stilfishing.com/?ref=zlf
Which is a all round Edible rod between the 6 and 7 including cracker
Please
ZLF
The 6 would be the perfect rod👌🏻
Can u throw lures with the 6
Cheers mate would love to win one I use the beach master zero
Have caught mulloway tailor tiger sharks pink snapper etc
If that rod has allowed me to land those fish with ease would love too see how good these new rods handle
I’d even pay for shipment to Western Australia I’m that keen to try one of these rods out
