Beast rods those Assassins. They make great light spin & beach rods too.
Frank is a great local resource. Excellent knowledge of LB fishing and well-stocked with quality gear.

The 963 i've got rated to 90g put a busted 75 into the opposite wall of Port Campbell harbour from the pier on 12lb tasline. Maps tells me it's 143 metres.

The 12lb tasline i'm casting is probably the best casting braid i've ever come across and that was it's first adventure. Casting off Sorrento jetty last night with an extremely significant tailwind, I put a 75g 140 turns of a biomaster 5000. The retrieve distance is 105cm per turn, take into about the bow in the line it's about right.
