About this combo

This Heavy Spinning combo pairs the Assassin Duel XT 8H Spinning Rod with the Daiwa 23 LEGALIS LT5000-CXH reel and XBRAID UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM braid for a purpose-built, high-power setup ready to handle demanding targets and tough conditions.

Rod: Assassin - Duel XT 8H Spinning Rod

The Duel XT 8H is an 8-foot heavy-rated spinning rod engineered for power and casting distance. Its high-modulus construction delivers the backbone needed to work large lures and control hard-fighting fish, while the Duel XT blank provides a responsive feel without sacrificing strength under load.

Reel: Daiwa - 23 LEGALIS LT5000-CXH

The 23 LEGALIS LT5000-CXH brings Daiwa's LT (Light & Tough) concept to a high-capacity, extra-high-speed retrieve package. The CXH designation means a fast gear ratio built for covering water quickly, while the LT body keeps overall weight low without compromising durability under heavy spinning pressure.

Line: XBRAID - UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM

The XBRAID UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM is an 8-carrier braided line built around a pentagram cross-section weave for superior roundness, reduced friction through guides, and consistent casting performance. Its high-tensile construction suits the demands of heavy spinning, delivering the sensitivity and zero-stretch connection needed to detect and convert strikes at range.

Together, these three components form a cohesive Heavy Spinning system built for anglers who demand performance and reliability. Add this combo to your cart and fish with confidence.
