About this combo

This ready-to-fish spin combo pairs the Assassin Duel XT 7MH Spinning Rod, Daiwa 20 Crest LT5000-CXH reel, and XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram line into one cohesive casting and retrieving setup. Everything here is matched for performance, sensitivity, and reliability on the water.

Rod: Assassin - Duel XT 7MH Spinning Rod

The Assassin Duel XT delivers a 7ft Medium-Heavy spinning platform built for lure work that demands backbone and feel. Its XT blank construction provides the stiffness needed for solid hook sets while retaining enough tip sensitivity to track lure action through the retrieve. A reliable choice for anglers targeting hard-pulling species on spinning gear.

Reel: Daiwa - 20 Crest LT5000-CXH

The Daiwa 20 Crest LT5000-CXH runs on Daiwa's Light and Tough (LT) concept — delivering a larger 5000-size spool capacity in a reduced-weight body. The CXH designation means an extra-high gear ratio for fast, aggressive retrieves that keep pace with fleeing baitfish presentations. Smooth Daiwa internals ensure consistent drag performance under load.

Line: XBRAID - UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM

XBRAID's Upgrade X8 Pentagram is an 8-carrier braided PE line built for casting distance and direct sensitivity. The Pentagram weave structure creates a rounder, smoother profile that flows cleanly through guides and reduces surface noise on the retrieve. Zero stretch braid means instant feedback from the rod tip — critical when working lures on the spin.

Together, this trio is dialled in for anglers who spin fish seriously. Grab the combo and hit the water confident every component is pulling its weight.
