The Assassin Tailhunter Rods are designed for land-based game anglers chasing powerful pelagic species from rocks, cliffs, and deepwater ledges. Built to cast big lures and baits extreme distances, the Tailhunter series combines strength, reach, and durability in a lightweight and responsive package.
Constructed with high-modulus carbon blanks, these rods offer exceptional casting performance without sacrificing pulling power. Whether you’re launching stickbaits, metals, or plugs, the fast-action taper and responsive tip ensure long, accurate casts while maintaining excellent lure control.
The Assassin Tailhunter range features Fuji K-Series tangle-free guides, a durable Fuji reel seat, and long, ergonomic EVA grips—providing superior handling during long fights with hard-running species like Spanish mackerel, kingfish, tuna, and GTs.
Tailored for the demands of rock and land-based big-game fishing, these rods are ideal for anglers who need casting power, hook-setting strength, and reliability in challenging environments. Available in various lengths and PE ratings, the Tailhunter series is made to match high-performance spinning reels and heavy-duty terminal gear.
Whether you're hunting trophy fish off the stones or casting lures from a high ledge, the Assassin Tailhunter Rods deliver the power and precision needed to dominate from the land.
