About this combo
Built specifically for casting stickbaits and poppers at large pelagics, this combo pairs the Samurai X-Tracta Pop rod with the Daiwa 22 Caldia SW 14000-H and XBRAID FullDrag X8 line. Everything here is chosen for the brutal demands of topwater kingfish and tuna fishing.
Rod: Samurai - X-Tracta Pop 7'6 PE 6 - 10
The X-Tracta Pop 7'6 is rated PE 6–10, giving you the backbone to work large poppers and stickbaits while handling powerful pelagic runs. At 7'6, it delivers the casting distance needed to reach feeding fish on the surface. The action is tuned specifically for topwater lure work — loading smoothly on the cast and providing the tip responsiveness to walk stickbaits effectively.
Reel: Daiwa - 22 CALDIA SW 14000-H
The 22 Caldia SW 14000-H is Daiwa's saltwater-ready workhorse, built with a sealed, corrosion-resistant body to handle offshore environments. The 14000-H size offers substantial line capacity for long pelagic runs, while the high-speed retrieve ratio keeps up with fast-moving tuna and kingfish. Daiwa's Monocoque Body construction increases rigidity under load, maintaining smooth performance when it counts most.
Line: XBRAID - FULLDRAG X8 GP-D
The XBRAID FullDrag X8 GP-D is an 8-carrier PE braid engineered for maximum drag pressure and zero stretch — critical when stopping big kingfish or turning running tuna. Its round, densely woven construction cuts through water cleanly for improved casting distance and consistent leader connection. The GP-D construction is purpose-built for heavy topwater applications where line failure is not an option.
This is a purpose-matched, ready-to-fish topwater setup for serious anglers targeting large pelagics. Add it to your cart and hit the water confident.
