About this combo

This pre-matched combo pairs the Assassin Abyss II 63LS Spinning Rod with the Daiwa 20 Crest LT4000-C and XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram line — everything you need for rhythmic lift-and-flutter-fall slow-pitch jigging straight out of the box. Purpose-built for working centre-weighted metal jigs through the water column with precision and feel.

Rod: Assassin Abyss II 63LS Spinning Rod

The Abyss II 63LS is engineered as a true slow-pitch jigging blank — parabolic in action to load and release energy cleanly on each lift, sending the jig into its signature flutter-fall. The 6'3" length and slow-action taper give you the controlled loading cadence slow-pitch demands, translating subtle rod movements into maximum jig action at depth. It doubles as a fighting tool, absorbing runs without pulling hooks.

Reel: Daiwa - 20 Crest LT4000-C

The Daiwa 20 Crest LT4000-C carries Daiwa's LT (Light & Tough) concept — a compact, lightweight body that reduces overall combo weight without sacrificing durability. The 4000-C sizing delivers a suitable line capacity and retrieve rate for mid-range slow-pitch depths, keeping your jig working efficiently. Smooth drag and reliable build quality make it a dependable choice for a technique that rewards consistent, rhythmic presentation.

Line: XBRAID - UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM

The XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram is an 8-carrier PE braid built around a pentagram cross-section weave for outstanding roundness, smoothness, and abrasion resistance. Its low-stretch construction transmits rod movement directly to the jig — critical for maintaining precise slow-pitch cadence at depth. High strength-to-diameter ratios let you fish finer PE ratings without sacrificing holding power on hard-fighting bottom species.

Three components dialled in for one technique — ideal for anglers serious about slow-pitch jigging. Add to cart and fish it ready to go.
