About this combo

This complete topwater combo is purpose-built for casting stickbaits and poppers at large pelagics like kingfish and tuna. Pairing the Samurai X-Tracta, Daiwa 25 SALTIGA 18000-H, and XBRAID FULLDRAG X8, every component is matched for maximum casting performance and stopping power.

Rod: Samurai - X-Tracta StickBait 8' PE 6 - 8

The Samurai X-Tracta StickBait is an 8-foot PE 6–8 rated rod designed specifically for working large stickbaits and poppers across the surface. Its length generates the long, sweeping casts needed to cover water, while the progressive action loads efficiently to impart life into hard-worked topwater lures. The PE 6–8 rating provides the backbone to turn hard-running pelagics before they reach structure.

Reel: Daiwa - 25 SALTIGA 18000-H

The 2025 Daiwa SALTIGA 18000-H is Daiwa's flagship offshore spinning reel, built for the most demanding saltwater situations. The high-speed H retrieve keeps pace with fast-fleeing tuna and kingfish, while Daiwa's MONOCOQUE body delivers exceptional rigidity under heavy drag pressure. Saltwater-proof construction throughout ensures long-term durability in harsh offshore environments.

Line: XBRAID - FULLDRAG X8 GP-D

The XBRAID FULLDRAG X8 GP-D is an 8-carrier PE braid engineered for high-drag topwater applications. Its tight construction minimises stretch for instant hooksets, while superior abrasion resistance handles the punishment of repeated long casts and brutal, head-shaking runs from large pelagics. The GP-D coating maintains a smooth surface for consistent, friction-free performance through the guides.

Together, this trio delivers the casting range, retrieval speed, and raw stopping power serious topwater anglers need. If you're targeting kingfish and tuna on the surface, this is your setup — add to cart today.
