About this combo

This ready-to-fish topwater combo pairs the Samurai X-Tracta Pop 7'6, the Daiwa 25 SALTIGA 18000-H, and XBRAID FULLDRAG X8 GP-D into one purpose-built system. Designed for casting stickbaits and poppers at large pelagics like kingfish and tuna, every component is matched for maximum performance under pressure.

Rod: Samurai - X-Tracta Pop 7'6 PE 6 - 10

The X-Tracta Pop 7'6 is built specifically for topwater popper and stickbait work, rated PE 6–10 to handle serious pelagics. The 7'6 length delivers the casting distance needed to cover water and the leverage required to work large surface lures with authority. Its backbone is designed to absorb explosive surface strikes while keeping you in control through a hard fight.

Reel: Daiwa - 25 SALTIGA 18000-H

The 2025 SALTIGA 18000-H is Daiwa's flagship offshore spinning reel, rebuilt from the ground up for elite-level performance. The high-speed H retrieve keeps pace with fast-running tuna and kingfish, while the SALTIGA's sealed drag and corrosion-resistant construction ensure reliability in harsh saltwater environments. Its line capacity and drag power are matched to the PE 6–10 demands of this setup.

Line: XBRAID - FULLDRAG X8 GP-D

XBRAID FULLDRAG X8 GP-D is an 8-carrier braid engineered for heavy topwater applications where zero stretch and maximum abrasion resistance are non-negotiable. Its tight weave and GP-D coating maintain roundness under load, reducing friction through guides and improving casting distance. This line is built to handle the shock loads of topwater strikes from powerful pelagics without compromise.

Together, these three components form a cohesive, no-compromise topwater system for serious offshore anglers chasing kingfish and tuna. Add the combo to your cart and hit the water ready.
