About this combo
This ready-to-fish combo pairs the Assassin Jigmaster II Slow 6MH-S Spinning Rod, Daiwa 20 Crest LT5000-C, and XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram into a purpose-built kabura and tai-rubber system. Every component is matched for dead-slow, near-bottom presentations with sliding-head skirt jigs — no compromises.
Rod: Assassin Jigmaster II Slow 6MH-S Spinning Rod
The Jigmaster II Slow 6MH-S is engineered specifically for kabura and tai-rubber techniques, delivering a progressive slow action that loads smoothly as sliding-head jigs drop and drift near the bottom. The Medium-Heavy power rating handles the sustained pressure of deep-water snapper and amberjack without over-powering light skirt jigs. Its spinning format keeps line management clean during slow, vertical retrieves.
Reel: Daiwa - 20 Crest LT5000-C
The 20 Crest LT5000-C brings Daiwa's LT (Light & Tough) concept to an accessible price point, offering a compact LT5000 body with a generous line capacity suited to mid-range slow jigging depths. The Twist Buster II system minimises line twist during the slow, repetitive wind-and-drop cycles central to kabura fishing. A smooth drag and solid ATD system give you confident control when a big snapper surges.
Line: XBRAID - UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM
XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram is an 8-carrier PE braid built with a pentagram weave structure for superior roundness and low surface friction through guides. High sensitivity and near-zero stretch transmit the subtle tap of a tai-rubber take directly to your hand, even in deep water. Its tight construction reduces line belly in current, keeping your jig tracking vertically where it needs to be.
Together, these three components form a cohesive kabura and tai-rubber slow jigging outfit ideal for reef snapper, bream, and similar bottom species. Grab the combo and fish it straight out of the box.
