About this combo
This is a purpose-built topwater combo for casting heavy stickbaits and poppers at large pelagics like kingfish and tuna. Every component is matched for maximum casting distance, brutal stopping power, and the sustained pressure these fish demand.
Rod: Zenaq - Expedition EP83-6 Trevally Spinning Rod
The Zenaq Expedition EP83-6 is an 8'3" trevally-specific spinning rod engineered for working large surface lures over structure and open water. Its blank delivers the stiffness needed to work poppers and stickbaits with authority while loading enough to cast big lures at distance. Built to handle the savage strikes and sustained runs of large kingfish and tuna without compromise.
Reel: Daiwa - 25 SALTIGA 18000-H
The 2025 SALTIGA 18000-H is Daiwa's flagship heavy spinning reel, built for the most demanding saltwater pelagic fishing. The high-speed H retrieve keeps pace with fast surface lures and recovers line quickly after explosive runs. Its MONOCOQUE body, MAGSEALED bearings, and tournament-grade drag system deliver the reliability and lockdown power required when targeting XXL kingfish and tuna on top.
Line: XBRAID - FULLDRAG X8 GP-D
XBRAID FULLDRAG X8 GP-D is an 8-carrier PE braid engineered specifically for heavy topwater and slow-pitch applications where line integrity under extreme load is non-negotiable. Its dense, round construction resists wind knots during big lure casting and cuts through surface chop cleanly. The high break strength and low stretch ensure instant hook sets and maximum control during powerful pelagic surges.
Together, these three components form a cohesive, uncompromising topwater system built for serious anglers chasing large kingfish and tuna. Shop this combo and hit the water ready.
