Daiwa Saltist LTD 5000 802XH Spinning Topwater Combo 8ft PE8 2pc

Ideal for casting stick baits, poppers or targeting heavy duty Kingfish

Looking for a solid, no-nonsense topwater combo? Look no further than the Daiwa Saltist LTD 5000 802XH Spinning Topwater Combo! Featuring the Daiwa Saltist LTD 5000 Reel and the Saltist-X Popper Spin Rod – designed for strength, performance, and incredible lifting power.

The Reel
Reduced saltwater penetration, minimised corrosion, longer life and better performance – the Daiwa Saltist LTD 5000 Magseal Spinning Reel is upgraded and packed with features take saltwater fishing to a whole new level.

ATD
Daiwa’s new drag, ATD provides greater support of the spool across the entire length of the main shaft. This additional support reduces spool twist under load, promotes more even wear of the drag washers and ultimately reduces “pulsing” of the drag when fighting fish. Combined with new improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag start up. This reduces initial drag startup inertia and combined with the structural changes of the ATD Drag System results in a smoother drag from the initial hook up.

Airbail
Airbail features a hollow, tubular bail arm for maximum rigidity and strength, with minimum weight. The smooth, protrusion free design ensures lose line, common after a cast, slides easily down the bail onto the line roller during the retrieve, eliminating line tangles.

Air Rotation
Especially for our reels with oil barrier (Mag Sealed reels) mechanism Daiwa has developed a complete new Air Rotor. So the enormous strains, which affect the rotor via the line and the line roller are better distributed. This causes less pressure on the single parts of the rotor. The new rotor is 15% more light weighted than usual rotors of the same material – this reduces vibrations and enhances the rotational balance thanks to a very low centre of gravity.

Magseal
Given the popularity of saltwater fishing, reducing water penetration into the reel is a major goal to minimise corrosion and promote longer life and better performance. If saltwater infiltrates a reel and dries, it crystallises, and then erodes gears and bearings. Through years of research and development, Daiwa found the solution – a membrane of magnetic oil, in conjunction with magnets between the body and the rotor of the reel, which greatly reduces the penetration of water inside the body via the main shaft. Being magnetised this lubrication system avoids any friction, reduces dust intrusion, eliminates oil spray and improves reel life expectancy.

The Rod
Rigorously designed and tested, and loaded with the pedigree and features that have made the Saltist name famous, the Daiwa Saltist-X 802XH Spinning Topwater Rod has it all. Featuring HVF graphite, Daiwa’s precise resin controlled, unidirectional graphite fibre blank technology, the result is a blank with maximum graphite density, delivering a rod that’s incredibly durable, lightweight and sensitive, yet immensely powerful and strong.

Braiding X
Braiding X technology further enhances the Saltist X series rod design, strength, and performance. The wall of the blank has been strengthened to eliminate blank twist and distortion, increasing rod strength and lifting power and allowing lighter, slimmer blanks to be made.

Fazlite Anti-Tangle K-Series guides
Fuji’s new Fazlite Anti-Tangle K-Series guides ensure trouble and tangle free time on the water. With their trademark deep blue colour adding a touch of style and class, their heightened bend strength and braid proof design are perfect for the rough and tumble of the high seas, and the demands of heavy braided line and hard pulling fish.

Quality components
EVA Grips, Fuji reel seats and butt caps make sure the comfort and control boxes are ticked, while a stylish cloth bag delivers protection on and off the water.
