About this combo

This ready-to-fish softbaiting combo pairs the Assassin Allure Spin 7M rod with the Daiwa 20 Crest LT3000-C reel and XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram braid — everything you need to cast and work soft plastic lures with confidence and precision.

Rod: Assassin - Allure Spin 7M Softbait Rod

The Assassin Allure Spin is a dedicated 7-foot medium softbait rod engineered for casting and animating soft plastic lures. Its responsive blank delivers the sensitivity needed to detect subtle takes, while the moderate-fast action provides the ideal load for distance casting and natural lure movement. A quality guide train and comfortable handle complete the package.

Reel: Daiwa - 20 Crest LT3000-C

The Daiwa 20 Crest LT3000-C brings Daiwa's Light & Tough philosophy to an accessible price point. The LT body keeps weight down without sacrificing rigidity, while the 3000-C compact spool is perfectly sized for light to medium softbait applications. A smooth drag system ensures clean pressure through the fight, and the proven Daiwa internals deliver reliable, long-term performance.

Line: XBRAID - UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM

XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram is an 8-carrier braided line built around a pentagram cross-section weave for exceptional roundness, smoothness, and casting distance. The tight construction resists wind knots and cuts through the water cleanly, giving you direct contact with your lure at all times. High sensitivity and low stretch mean you feel every twitch and tap through the soft plastic.

Three components built for the same purpose — this combo suits anglers chasing inshore species on soft plastics. Grab it ready-rigged and get straight to fishing.
