About this combo
Purpose-built for casting stickbaits and poppers at large pelagics, this combo pairs the Ripple Fisher RunnerExceed 911MH with the Daiwa 25 SALTIGA 8000-H and Varivas Casting PE Max Power X8 — a cohesive, performance-matched topwater system for kingfish, tuna, and beyond.
Rod: Ripple Fisher - RunnerExceed 911MH Nano Topwater Rod
The RunnerExceed 911MH is a 9'1" medium-heavy nano-construction topwater rod engineered for working large stickbaits and poppers over distance. Nano carbon blanks deliver exceptional sensitivity and reduced weight without sacrificing backbone, while the MH power rating provides the lifting authority needed to turn hard-running pelagics. It's a specialist tool built for repeated long-range casts through a full session.
Reel: Daiwa - 25 SALTIGA 8000-H
The 2025 SALTIGA 8000-H is Daiwa's flagship saltwater spinning reel, built to handle the punishment of big-game topwater fishing. The H (high gear) retrieve keeps pace when walking the dog or burning a popper, while SALTIGA's legendary drag system and full saltwater-proof construction inspire confidence when a trophy kingfish or yellowfin makes its run. This is a reel built to last seasons in harsh offshore conditions.
Line: Varivas - Casting PE Max Power X8 Braid
Varivas Casting PE Max Power X8 is an 8-carrier braid specifically designed for casting applications, offering superior roundness and surface smoothness for long, accurate delivery of heavy topwater lures. Its high PE strength-to-diameter ratio maximises line capacity on the 8000-H spool while maintaining the low stretch needed to drive hooks home at distance. An excellent pairing for demanding bluewater topwater sessions.
Together, these three components form a refined, high-performance topwater system for serious anglers targeting large pelagics. Add to cart and fish with confidence.
