About this combo

The Assassin Edge II 7' Heavy paired with the Daiwa 20 Crest LT3000-C and XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram line delivers a purpose-built softbaiting combo ready to cast and work soft plastic lures with precision and confidence. Everything you need, matched and ready to fish.

Rod: Assassin - Edge II 7' Heavy

The Assassin Edge II in 7' Heavy gives you the backbone to cast weighted soft plastics distance and the sensitivity to feel every twitch and tick on the retrieve. At 7 feet, it provides an ideal casting arc and leverage for working lures through the water column. The heavy power rating means confident hook sets even at range.

Reel: Daiwa - 20 Crest LT3000-C

The Daiwa 20 Crest LT3000-C is built on Daiwa's Light and Tough (LT) platform, delivering a lightweight, durable body without sacrificing strength. The 3000-C size strikes the right balance for softbaiting — enough line capacity for long casts while keeping the outfit light in hand for extended sessions. Smooth drag and reliable retrieve make it a dependable workhorse.

Line: XBRAID - UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM

XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram is an 8-carrier braided line engineered for low diameter, high strength, and a smooth, round profile that flows cleanly through guides. Its sensitivity transmits soft plastic action and subtle bites directly to your hands, and the low stretch construction ensures instant, positive hook sets when softbaiting at distance.

This combo is matched for anglers serious about softbaiting — whether you're working jig heads along the bottom or swimming plastics through the mid-water column. Grab yours and hit the water ready.
