Novicefisherman Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thinking about getting the 12ft Nitro surf assassin surf rod for light beach fishing? Like to hear some reviews if anyone has this rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilovefishingdamnit Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I don't have experience with this rod, but in my opinion, Nitro builds some of best rods on the market. Their high quality blanks, craftsmanship and utilitarian approach guarantees that you will have an awesome, trouble free rod that will serve you well for a very long time.

Novicefisherman Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 I do have a Nitro travel viper but I haven't tried it as yet. Waiting to blood it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abecedarian Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I've got one. If you looking for a heavy rod that can only cast a 20gm lure 10 meters, has no feel or sensitivity and is still 6 ft long when you break it down then the Surf Assassin isn't the rod for you... They are a weapon mate. Only thing is if you're looking to fish small soft plastics or similar then there's an even lighter nitro rod that's 10ft long (the name escapes me) that would be even better. But the surf assassin is capable of putting serious hurt on a fish, can cast a 30gm lure a mile and can cope admirably with lures as light at 10 gm too. You feel every bite and bump and its so light you barely notice it. and whats more, when i pull it down its the same length as my 2 piece bream rods. Match it to a sustain 4000 and it's a top lure outfit for pelagics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
