About this combo
Built specifically for slow-pitch jigging — the rhythmic lift-and-flutter-fall technique using centre-weighted metal jigs on a parabolic rod — this combo pairs the Assassin Abyss II 61MHS with the Daiwa 20 Crest LT6000-H and XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram line. Every component is matched to maximise jig action and sensitivity at depth.
Rod: Assassin - Abyss II 61MHS Spinning Rod
The Abyss II 61MHS is a purpose-built slow-pitch spinning rod with a parabolic taper that loads correctly during the lift phase and releases energy through a controlled flutter-fall — the heartbeat of true slow-pitch technique. The MHS power rating handles the jig weights and depths demanded by offshore slow-pitch fishing, while the blank's sensitivity telegraphs bites clearly through the hand during the fall.
Reel: Daiwa - 20 Crest LT6000-H
The Daiwa 20 Crest LT6000-H uses Daiwa's Light & Tough (LT) concept to deliver a large-capacity body at a reduced weight — an important advantage during extended slow-pitch sessions. The high-speed H retrieve ratio recovers line quickly between lift cycles, and the LT6000 spool capacity is well-suited to the braid lengths required for deeper slow-pitch drops.
Line: XBRAID - UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM
XBRAID's Upgrade X8 Pentagram is an 8-carrier PE braid built around a pentagram cross-section weave for superior roundness, smoothness, and consistent diameter. Low stretch is critical in slow-pitch jigging — it ensures rod-tip movements translate directly into jig action at depth. The tight weave also resists cutting against structure and guides, extending line life in demanding offshore conditions.
Together, these three components form a cohesive slow-pitch jigging system for anglers who want proper technique-specific gear. Add this matched combo to your cart and fish slow-pitch the right way.
