The 14000 size offers the line capacity and torque needed for extended offshore fights. This combo includes a FREE spool of XBraid, adding immediate value out of the box.
Line: XBRAID - FULLDRAG X8 GP-D
XBRAID FULLDRAG X8 GP-D is an 8-carrier PE braid built for maximum drag pressure and zero stretch β essential for driving hooks home on explosive topwater strikes. Its tight weave delivers smooth flow through guides, reducing friction on long casts while maintaining the sensitivity to feel every lure movement. A proven match for big game surface fishing.
Together, these three components form a dialed-in medium topwater casting rig for serious offshore anglers targeting pelagics. Add to cart and hit the water ready.
