About this combo
Purpose-built for casting stickbaits and poppers at large pelagics, this combo pairs the Zenaq Tobizo TC83-150G with the Daiwa 25 Saltiga 18000-H and XBRAID FULLDRAG X8 GP-D — a complete, battle-ready topwater system for kingfish, tuna, and everything in between.
Rod: Zenaq - Tobizo TC83-150G Topwater Rod
The Tobizo TC83-150G is a dedicated topwater stick designed to handle lures up to 150g with authority. Its tubular carbon construction delivers the sweeping, load-and-release action needed to walk the dog or pop surface lures effectively over long sessions. The 8'3" length provides the reach and leverage to work big stickbaits and poppers while maintaining line control at distance — critical when targeting fast-running pelagics.
Reel: Daiwa - 25 SALTIGA 18000-H
The 2025 Saltiga 18000-H is Daiwa's flagship offshore spinning reel, engineered for the harshest saltwater environments. The high-speed H retrieve ratio lets you recover line quickly on burning runs, while Daiwa's Monocoque body construction maximises internal space for a larger, more powerful gear system. Combined with a sealed MAGSEALED drag and bearing system, it delivers the brute stopping power and corrosion resistance required for serious bluewater topwater work.
Line: XBRAID - FULLDRAG X8 GP-D
XBRAID FULLDRAG X8 GP-D is a premium 8-carrier PE braid engineered for extreme loads and abrasion resistance — exactly what's needed when locking up on a running kingfish or yellowfin. Its tight weave delivers a round, slick profile for longer casts and smoother guides contact, while the high breaking strain ensures you can apply maximum drag pressure without compromise. This is a line built for anglers who don't back off.
Three elite components dialled in for one purpose — dominating the topwater bite. Ideal for experienced bluewater anglers chasing trophy pelagics. Add the full combo to your cart today.

Everything you need to know about each piece of gear
Rod
Zenaq - Tobizo TC83-150G Topwater Rod
Zenaq
The TC83-150G is Zenaq’s perfectly balanced crossover rod for GT popping and tuna stickbaiting, targeting powerful pelagics in the 20–80kg range. By blending the stiffness needed to work large cupped poppers with the smoother action preferred for long-distance stickbaiting, it hits the ideal middle ground for anglers chasing both species on the same trip. Built from TORAYCA® T1100G carbon with Nanoalloy® resin, the blank offers a crisp, responsive tip for lure control and a torque-rich butt section to keep heavy fish away from reef structure. Outfitted with Ocean Guides for durability and smooth casting, and Zenaq’s Hexagon Grip for comfort and precision, it’s designed for serious offshore work without the fatigue of oversized GT rods. Best suited for lures around 150g, but capable across the full 90–180g range, the TC83-150G delivers both reach and stopping power – making it a reliable choice for large trevally, yellowfin, and bluefin tuna. Key Features: Length: 8’3” Lure Weight: 90–180g (best ~150g) Line: PE Max #8 Recommended reel size: SW10000–20000 TORAYCA® T1100G carbon + Nanoalloy® resin for high strength and elasticity Balanced action for both GT popping and tuna stickbaiting Ocean Guides for smooth, durable performance under load Hexagon Grip – ergonomic foregrip for comfort and precise lure work Ideal for trevally, tuna, and other large pelagics in the 20–80kg class For anglers wanting one rod to cover heavy stickbaiting and popper work, the TC83-150G delivers the range, control, and power to take on the toughest battles.
