About this combo
This ready-to-fish softbaiting combo pairs the Assassin Edge II 7' Medium Heavy rod with the Daiwa 24 Revros LT3000-CXH reel and XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram braid. Every component is matched for sensitivity, strength, and softbait performance straight out of the box.
Rod: Assassin - Edge II 7' Medium Heavy
The Assassin Edge II in 7' Medium Heavy delivers the backbone needed to work soft plastics with authority and drive hooks home on the strike. At 7 feet, it provides casting reach and leverage for working lures through the water column. The Medium Heavy power rating handles a wide range of softbait weights without sacrificing the tip sensitivity needed to detect subtle takes.
Reel: Daiwa - 24 REVROS LT3000-CXH
The 24 Revros LT3000-CXH sits in Daiwa's Light & Tough lineup, offering a compact, lightweight frame that reduces fatigue during long softbaiting sessions. The CXH designation means extra high gear ratio, so you can quickly recover slack line and maintain contact with your lure. It's a smooth, reliable spinning reel that punches well above its price point.
Line: XBRAID - UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM
The XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram is an 8-carrier braided line built around a pentagram weave structure for superior roundness, smoothness, and casting distance. Its high sensitivity and near-zero stretch make it ideal for softbaiting, transmitting every bump and tick directly to your hands. The smooth surface also reduces friction through guides for longer, more accurate casts.
Together, these three components form a balanced, high-performance softbaiting setup suited to anglers who want a proven, ready-to-use combo without compromise. Add to cart and get on the water faster.
