Daiwa BG MQ and Penn Ocean Assassin Stickbait Combo

Daiwa BG MQ and Penn Ocean Assassin Stickbait Combo

This combo is ideal for chasing GT and larger Kingfish on stickbaits and poppers around schools of bait, reefs, bommies and headlands. The Daiwa BG MQ 14000 H is a strong reel, its metal body has less entry points for sand and water whilst also giving the reel a rigid feel. The BG MQ can handle saltwater spray which is an essential feature of an offshore reel as typically when fishing in the ocean your gear tends to get wet. The reel has an impressive 15 kilograms of drag which is certainly enough to stop a GT or big Kingy. The Ocean Assassin comes in at 7ft7 meaning you can maximise your casting distance, this helps as you can keep the boat further away from the headlands and bommies you are fishing, therefore your vessel will be both in calmer and safer waters. You can also cast into schools of bait on the surface from further away in order not to scare them down. Fishing with a longer rod gives the angler more leverage on the fish accounting for an easier and quicker fish, due to this you are less likely to get busted off, sharked or pull hooks.

This Combo Includes:

- Daiwa BG MQ 14000 H 

- Penn Ocean Assassin 7ft7 2pc PE6

- Shimano PowerPro 300yd 65lbs

DAIWA BG MQ 14000 H SPINNING FISHING REEL

Daiwa’s BG series has changed the game of what affordable quality looks like in heavy-duty spinning reels. Now, by combining Monocoque Body (MQ) technology with the mass market appeal of BG, 20 BG MQ is born.

Monocoque Body (MQ) is the single biggest revolution in spinning reel design from Daiwa by totally eliminating the traditional two-piece body construction. MQ reels don’t use any side plates and feature a completely screwless body design which eliminates potential entry points for water & grime, and significantly enhances overall body strength and rigidity. 

The screwless design principle of MQ bodies are also significantly more compact than a standard body design. Screws need material to grip to, and that means more overall size and more mass in traditional body designs. By replacing the side plate with a machined aluminium engine plate which screws directly into the reel body, MQ reels can maximise the internal space made available by using larger size drive gears than before.

Throughout the entire line-up of BG MQ, vast improvements have been made to almost all areas of the reel design. The drag has been improved both in maximum capacity but also in smooth overall performance, drastically reducing the friction of the Carbon ATD drag - BG MQ’s drag performance is unmatched by the competition.

The MQ body construction not only has the obvious benefits of a stronger & more compact body design, it also delivers an increase in gear durability thanks to absolute zero movement of drivetrain components once installed inside an MQ body. Weather-sealing is also significantly improved, with seals visible in multiple locations throughout the reel, BG MQ is built for the harshest of environments.
Casting performance has also been improved with the implementation of Long Cast ABS (LC-ABS) spool design. LC-ABS spool design improves line flow from the spool, resulting in increased casting distances across the board with both heavy & light lines.

Throughout the BG MQ range, improvements have been made specific to the size of each reel to maximise their performance and overall appeal to each target market.

Small size BG MQ (2500-4000) feature dramatically larger sized drive gears. Middle sized models 5000 & 6000 now feature the Rigid Air Rotor design, maximising strength and appeal for mid-weight sportfishing applications. Larger size BG MQ from 8000-20000 receive huge benefits as a result of the MQ body, with the leg & main body drastically increased in strength without increasing weight.

BG MQ marks a new era in affordable saltwater spinning reels from Daiwa, with MQ technology now available to the masses. BG MQ is built for the harshest conditions and is set to once again revolutionise the industry. Available from 2500-20000 size, BG MQ is now aligned with 20 SALTIGA sizing.

ABS LONGCAST

Compared to conventional spools, the LC-ABS has been shown to increase the average flight distance by approx. 5% due to its reduced weight and modified shape.

ATD DRAG

Daiwa’s Automatic Tournament Drag uses an improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag start up. This reduces initial drag start-up inertia and combined with the structural changes of the ATD Drag System results in a smoother drag from the initial hook up.

METAL ALLOY BODY

Rock solid in strength and performance, alloy is tailor made for Australian conditions and allows a reel to be created that is light, yet strong, and supremely rigid and highly corrosion resistant.

MONOCOQUE (MQ)

A one-piece frame eliminates the use of traditional two-piece body & sideplate construction. A single piece body utilises a screw-in engine plate to house the main gear, reducing flex and twist under load creating a sealed mechanism. The elimination of the side plate also has also allowed for a more compact body design. MQ technology not only makes reels stronger & better sealed, but also more compact.

PENN OCEAN ASSASSIN STICKBAIT/POPPER RODS

Bluewater pelagic species like GT’s, Tuna and Yellowtail Kingfish don’t muck around. They will laugh out loud as they brush off your inferior rod, spit out your popper and swim off into the horizon. Get the last laugh against these massive marauders and tackle them with Penn Ocean Assassin Rods for sale now.

SLS3 construction uses inner and outer spiral wrap layers of carbon fibre to sandwich middle layers of alternating longitudinal carbon and glass. The result is a carbon/glass hybrid that increases fishing rod strength significantly, without packing on the weight. The SLS3 technology delivers thin diameter blanks, beautifully balanced with great feel and sensitivity.

Designed for the boat and fishing outside the heads, the stick bait model will be suitable for many ocean rock applications as well. Casting manners are fantastic, aided by Fuji Alconite K-Guides and the ergonomic Contoured EVA Grips. The grips come into their own when locked into a fierce battle with something substantial and determined.

Fishing stick baits and poppers are super exciting fishing. Target kingfish just outside the heads, throwing your lure into the wash as close as to the rocks as you can. Hit the reef for massive, back-breaking GT’s, and search the deeper stuff by the shelf for mega Tuna.

The Penn Ocean Assassin Popper Rod is a serious fishing rod for serious fish. The Stickbait and Popper models are designed and refined for a purpose. If you want to get the most out of fishing the surface, choose Penn Ocean Assassin Rods. It’s the only way to handle the explosion of scale and water as a monster devours your lure. Fish Penn, fish the legend now.
