Daiwa Crosscast 45 / Laguna X 13ft Surf Combo

The Reel

Get the edge in ultra-long-distance surfcasting with the 20 Crosscast Surf 45, a 45mm stroke long-distance reel designed to maximise distance to gain access to untouched areas when fishing from shore.

It all revolves around the long-stroke spool, featuring a 2-degree front-facing taper to allow line to fly off with ease. The long-stroke design minimises changes in direction for line flowing off the spool. Combine that with Daiwa’s new Slow Cross Wrap Oscillation system which evenly distributes the line more closely packed to itself up and down the spool, resulting in improved casting distance across the board.

A sturdy carbon composite body houses a Digigear II design drive, digitally designed and manufactured to exact tolerances to produce a reel which is smooth and strong. 20 Crosscast Surf is perfectly matched to any one of Daiwa’s large range of surf rods and will be a big hit for anglers who like to keep two feet on solid ground.

The Rod

The secret to Laguna X is Daiwa's carbon design, compared to conventional carbon material, our carbon fibres are laid longitudinally with minimal resin use, then rolled at extremely high temperatures and pressure to produce an exceptionally light but super strong blank. By increasing the fibre quantity and massively decreasing the resin quantity it has created increase muscle in a slimmer profile blank, thus resulting in an even stronger, leaner, lighter, sharper rod than ever before.

These blanks are incredibly fast and "tippy" but fold away under pressure in an even arch to displace load through the whole blank for maximum fighting power. For extra power, Laguna X features Braiding X, this is a new design for Daiwa rods especially in the budget ranges. Braiding X brings high-end technology and performance to rods that are designed for beginners and occasional anglers.

While looking modern and stylish, it provides extra power and strength to the lower section of the rod for extra fighting and casting power. Complimenting this great design is high quality stainless aluminium oxide guides that deliver superb tangle free casting performance and dissipate heat efficiently eliminating line wear.

The customized graphite reel seats feature custom manufactured alloy componentry to compliment this practical reel seat. For ultimate comfort and sensitivity Laguna X uses high quality EVA grips.
