About this combo

This ready-to-fish kabura and tai-rubber combo pairs the Assassin Jigmaster II Slow 6M-S Spinning Rod with the Daiwa 20 Crest LT5000-C and XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram braid — everything you need to work sliding-head skirt jigs dead-slow near the bottom with confidence and control.

Rod: Assassin - Jigmaster II Slow 6M-S Spinning Rod

The Jigmaster II Slow 6M-S is purpose-built for kabura and tai-rubber presentations. Its slow-action blank loads progressively, telegraphing subtle takes while giving skirt jigs the natural, unhurried fall that triggers bottom-hugging species. The spinning configuration keeps line management smooth during the slow, deliberate retrieves this technique demands.

Reel: Daiwa - 20 Crest LT5000-C

The 20 Crest LT5000-C sits in Daiwa's LT (Light & Tough) platform, delivering a strong, lightweight body that reduces arm fatigue during extended bottom sessions. The 5000-C spool size offers ample line capacity for working deeper water, while Daiwa's smooth drag system handles the sudden, hard runs of quality reef and pelagic species on light pressure.

Line: XBRAID - UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM

XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram is an 8-carrier PE braid wound in a pentagram weave for exceptional roundness, surface smoothness, and abrasion resistance. Low stretch transmits bottom contact and bite detection directly to the rod tip — critical when jigs are barely moving. Its slick surface feeds cleanly through guides and minimises drag in current, keeping your kabura fishing on the bottom where it counts.

Three components engineered for the same slow-speed mission — ideal for anglers targeting snapper, bream, and bottom species on kabura and tai-rubber rigs. Add all three to your cart and hit the bottom with a matched setup.
