About this combo

This purpose-built topwater combo pairs the Olympic Protone Tuna 802/50 rod, Shimano 25 Stella SW 14000XG reel, and Varivas Casting PE Max Power X8 Braid into a complete system for casting stickbaits and poppers at large pelagics. Designed for serious anglers chasing kingfish and tuna in demanding bluewater conditions.

Rod: Olympic - Protone Tuna 802/50 Topwater Rod

The Olympic Protone Tuna 802/50 is an 8ft topwater specialist rated to 50lb, engineered to load and launch heavy stickbaits and poppers with authority. Its backbone handles the sustained pressure of hard-running tuna and kingfish, while a responsive tip delivers the rhythmic action needed to work surface lures effectively over long sessions.

Reel: Shimano - 25 STELLA SW 14000XG

The 2025 Stella SW 14000XG is Shimano's flagship saltwater spinning reel, built to withstand the corrosive demands of offshore fishing. The XG retrieve ratio delivers fast line recovery to keep pace with fleeing pelagics and maintain lure action. Paired with Stella's renowned drag system and rigid frame, it offers the power and reliability this style of fishing demands.

Line: Varivas - Casting PE Max Power X8 Braid

Varivas Casting PE Max Power X8 is an 8-carrier braid specifically designed for casting applications, offering superior roundness and surface smoothness for maximum distance. Its high tensile strength provides the stopping power needed when a kingfish or tuna surges on a topwater strike, while low stretch ensures instant hooksets at range.

Together, these three components form a cohesive, high-performance topwater system ready for bluewater combat. Built for experienced anglers who demand the best — add this combo to your cart and fish with confidence.
