About this combo
This complete Topwater Tuna combo pairs the Olympic Protone Tuna 802/50 rod with the new Daiwa 25 SALTIGA 14000-XH reel and XBRAID FULLDRAG X8 GP-D line. Every component is purpose-selected to handle explosive surface strikes and sustained runs from large pelagic tuna.
Rod: Olympic - Protone Tuna 802/50 Topwater Rod
The Protone Tuna 802/50 is an 8ft topwater-specific rod rated to 50lb, engineered for walking large surface poppers and stickbaits over big tuna. Its blank delivers the progressive loading needed for wide, consistent lure action while maintaining the backbone to turn hard-running fish. Built for the demands of offshore topwater fishing.
Reel: Daiwa - 25 SALTIGA 14000-XH + FREE XBraid
The 2025 SALTIGA 14000-XH is Daiwa's flagship saltwater spinning reel, offering an extra-high gear ratio for rapid line pick-up after a strike and the high-capacity spool required for long topwater casts and blistering tuna runs. Built with Daiwa's proven SALTIGA durability and drag system to handle the punishment of serious offshore fishing. Includes a free spool of XBraid line.
Line: XBRAID - FULLDRAG X8 GP-D
The FULLDRAG X8 GP-D is an 8-carrier braided PE line constructed for maximum break strength and abrasion resistance under heavy drag pressure — exactly what topwater tuna fishing demands. Its round, compact braid profile delivers long, accurate casts and cuts through surface chop cleanly. A proven match for large-capacity reels and heavy topwater applications.
Three components dialled in for one purpose — serious Topwater Tuna fishing. Ideal for experienced offshore anglers chasing big pelagics. Add to cart and fish ready.
