About this combo

This ready-to-fish spin combo pairs the Assassin Duel XT 8H Spinning Rod, Daiwa 20 Crest LT6000-H reel, and XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram line into one cohesive casting and retrieving setup. Every component is matched for performance, sensitivity, and durability when working lures across a range of conditions.

Rod: Assassin - Duel XT 8H Spinning Rod

The Duel XT 8H is a heavy-rated spinning rod built for casting distance and lure control. Its fast action blank loads quickly for long, accurate casts while maintaining the backbone needed to work and land hard-fighting fish. The XT construction delivers a responsive, lightweight feel without sacrificing strength under load.

Reel: Daiwa - 20 Crest LT6000-H

The 20 Crest LT6000-H brings Daiwa's LT (Light & Tough) concept to a large-format spinning reel. The high-speed H gear ratio retrieves line quickly to keep pace with fast lure presentations and pick up slack instantly on the strike. The 6000-size body offers generous line capacity suited to heavier braids and longer casts.

Line: XBRAID - UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM

The XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram is an 8-carrier braided PE line engineered with a pentagram cross-section for exceptional roundness and smoothness through the guides. Its near-zero stretch transmits lure action and strikes with precision, while the tight weave resists wear and maintains consistent casting performance. A strong match for heavy spin fishing applications.

Together, these three components deliver a balanced, high-performance spin fishing setup built for anglers who demand distance, sensitivity, and reliability. Add this combo to your cart and hit the water ready to fish.
