About this combo
This purpose-built topwater combo pairs the Ripple Fisher RunnerExceed FINAL STAND UP 83HH with the Daiwa 25 SALTIGA 20000-H and Varivas Casting PE Max Power X8 Braid — a complete, ready-to-fish system engineered for casting large stickbaits and poppers at hard-running pelagics like kingfish and tuna.
Rod: Ripple Fisher - RunnerExceed FINAL STAND UP 83HH Topwater Rod
The RunnerExceed FINAL STAND UP 83HH is Ripple Fisher's heavy-hitting topwater stick, built in an 8'3" length and rated for the sustained pressure of stand-up pelagic fishing. Its HH power rating delivers the backbone needed to work large poppers and stickbaits while maintaining the casting load required for long presentations. The blank is designed to absorb brutal runs without sacrificing lure action or angler control.
Reel: Daiwa - 25 SALTIGA 20000-H
The 2025 SALTIGA 20000-H is Daiwa's flagship big-game spinning reel, built on the MONOCOQUE body for rigidity under extreme drag loads. The H gear ratio delivers fast line recovery to keep pace with fast-moving tuna and kingfish. Saltiga's sealed MAGSEALED bearings provide long-term corrosion resistance in harsh saltwater environments, making it a dependable choice for serious offshore sessions.
Line: Varivas - Casting PE Max Power X8 Braid
Varivas Casting PE Max Power X8 is an 8-carrier braid engineered specifically for overhead and spinning casting applications. Its tight construction delivers high abrasion resistance and consistent diameter, reducing friction through the guides for maximum distance on heavy lure casts. The low-stretch characteristic of PE braid transmits every rod input directly to the lure — critical for working large topwater presentations with precision.
Three components, one focused system — this combo is built for anglers targeting large pelagics on topwater. Add it to your cart and hit the water ready.
