About this combo
Built specifically for kabura and tai-rubber style slow jigging, this combo pairs the Assassin Jigmaster II Slow 6M-C Overhead Rod, Next Ocean 50 Overhead Reel, and XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram line into a purpose-matched system for working sliding-head jigs dead-slow near the bottom.
Rod: Assassin Jigmaster II Slow 6M-C Overhead Rod
The Jigmaster II Slow 6M-C is engineered for the steady, low-cadence presentations of kabura and tai-rubber jigging. Its moderate-slow action loads smoothly under weight and transmits subtle bottom contact without over-working the lure. The overhead configuration keeps the angler in direct contact with the jig throughout every slow retrieve cycle.
Reel: Next Ocean 50 Overhead Reel RH SG
The Next Ocean 50 is a compact, right-hand overhead reel with a slow-gear (SG) retrieve ratio — ideal for maintaining the ultra-slow line speeds that tai-rubber and kabura fishing demand. Its robust drag system handles the sudden, hard runs of reef and bottom-dwelling species, while the size-50 frame balances naturally with a 6M-class slow jig rod.
Line: XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram
The XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram is an 8-carrier PE braid built with a pentagram weave structure for superior roundness, smoothness through guides, and reduced water resistance on the drop. Near-zero stretch ensures instant bite detection when jigs are barely moving near the bottom — critical for the subtle takes common in slow kabura fishing.
Together, these three components form a cohesive slow jigging system tuned for kabura and tai-rubber technique. Ideal for anglers targeting snapper, amberjack, and reef species — grab the combo and fish it straight out of the box.
What's in this combo
Everything you need to know about each piece of gear
Rod
Assassin - Jigmaster II Slow 6M-C Overhead Rod
Assassin
The Jigmaster II is purpose-built for slow-pitch jigging, delivering the precise loading and rhythmic rebound this technique demands. Its parabolic action stores energy smoothly through the stroke and releases it in a controlled snap, letting the blank — not the angler — impart that signature fluttering, darting action on the fall that triggers reaction strikes from deep-water predators. At 6 ft with a Medium power rating, it's dialled in for working 30–120g slow-pitch jigs on PE 1.5–2 braid, giving you the finesse to tempt pressured fish while retaining the backbone to lift solid snapper, kingfish, and bottom dwellers off the structure. The Nano Resin Technology blank keeps weight down without sacrificing lifting power, so you can stay in rhythm through long drifts without arm fatigue. Fuji K-Series Alconite KR guides keep braid flowing cleanly through every pitch, and the Fuji reel seat with aluminum winder locks your reel down solid for the lift-and-fall cadence that defines the style. Hyperlon fore grips provide a comfortable, tactile hold during extended sessions, and the 1-piece construction maximises sensitivity so you feel every flutter, tick, and tap as the jig works the strike zone. Parabolic slow-pitch action — loads and unloads to animate the jig with minimal angler input. Medium power, 30–120g jig range — ideal for PE 1.5–2 slow-pitch presentations. Nano Resin Technology blank — light in hand, strong under load for all-day pitching. Fuji K-Series Alconite KR guides — smooth line flow and tangle resistance for braid. Fuji reel seat with aluminum winder — rock-solid reel lockdown through repeated lifts. Hyperlon fore grips — comfort and control for long sessions on the drift. 1-piece construction — maximum sensitivity to detect subtle fall-bites.
