About this combo

This ready-to-fish softbaiting combo pairs the Assassin Infinity 72H rod with the Daiwa 20 Crest LT4000-C reel and XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram braid — everything you need to cast, work, and feel every bite through soft plastic lures with confidence.

Rod: Assassin - Infinity 72H Softbait Rod

The Infinity 72H is purpose-built for softbaiting, delivering the backbone needed to load and launch soft plastics with authority. At 7'2" in a Heavy power rating, it provides the lifting power to control fish in structure while remaining sensitive enough to detect subtle takes. The fast action tip telegraphs lure movement and bites directly to your hand, keeping you connected throughout the retrieve.

Reel: Daiwa - 20 Crest LT4000-C

The 20 Crest LT4000-C brings Daiwa's Light & Tough (LT) philosophy to an accessible price point — a lightweight body that reduces fatigue during long casting sessions without sacrificing durability. The 4000-C size hits the sweet spot for softbaiting, offering ample line capacity and a retrieve rate suited to working plastics at pace. Daiwa's proven drag system ensures smooth, consistent pressure when fish run hard.

Line: XBRAID - UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM

XBRAID's Upgrade X8 Pentagram is an 8-carrier braided line built around a pentagram weave structure for exceptional roundness, smoothness through guides, and superior casting distance. The high-sensitivity construction eliminates stretch, ensuring every twitch and jig of your soft plastic is transmitted precisely — and every strike is felt instantly. It's a performance braid that matches the demands of technical softbait fishing.

Together, these three components form a balanced, technique-specific softbaiting setup ideal for anglers targeting snapper, kahawai, and species in between. Add the combo to your cart and hit the water ready.
