About this combo

This ready-to-fish softbaiting combo pairs the Assassin Allure Spin 7MH with the Shimano 26 NASCI C3000HG and XBRAID UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM braid β€” everything you need to cast and work soft plastic lures with confidence and precision.

Rod: Assassin - Allure Spin 7MH 2pc Spinning Rod

The Assassin Allure Spin is a 7-foot, medium-heavy 2-piece spinning rod purpose-built for softbaiting applications. Its MH power rating delivers enough backbone to drive hooks home while still providing the sensitivity needed to detect subtle takes through a soft plastic. The 2-piece design makes it transport-friendly without compromising action or performance on the water.

Reel: Shimano - 26 NASCI C3000HG

The 2026 Shimano NASCI C3000HG brings proven Shimano engineering to an accessible price point. The HG (High Gear) retrieve ratio lets you quickly take up slack and control lure speed β€” critical when working soft plastics through the strike zone. The C3000 size is a natural match for a 7MH rod, offering the right balance of line capacity and compact weight.

Line: XBRAID - UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM

XBRAID UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM is an 8-carrier braided line engineered for superior roundness, smoothness, and casting distance. The tight X8 construction delivers exceptional sensitivity and near-zero stretch β€” both essential for feeling soft plastic lures and detecting light bites at range. Its strong PE braid construction pairs cleanly with the NASCI's spool and guides.

Three components, one cohesive softbaiting setup. Ideal for anglers targeting inshore species on soft plastics β€” grab this combo and hit the water ready to fish.

Reel

Shimano - 26 NASCI C3000HG

Shimano

The Shimano 26 NASCI C3000HG is a refined evolution in Shimano’s spinning reel lineup, delivering premium performance at a mid-entry price point. Built with the upgraded robust HAGANE Gear and X-SHIP technology, this reel offers smoother winding under load, making it a top-tier choice for New Zealand anglers tackling inshore species. Its sleek, dark aesthetic is matched by internal durability, featuring CoreProtect to repel water from critical components without adding heavy rotation resistance. Specifically designed for the versatility required in NZ waters, the C3000HG (Compact Body, High Gear) is the quintessential "all-rounder" size. It balances perfectly on 7ft–7ft 6in softbait sets for targeting Snapper over the kelp or drifting wash. The high gear ratio allows for rapid line retrieval, essential when working soft plastics quickly or clearing the line when a Kahawai runs towards the boat. HAGANE Gear – Cold-forged drive gear provides long-lasting smoothness and strength by eliminating flex during fights. Silent Drive Technology – Removes microscopic play in the drive train for an eerily quiet and ultra-smooth rotation. CoreProtect – Water-repellent coating protects the roller clutch and line roller from saltwater intrusion. G-Free Body – Shifts the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod, reducing hand fatigue during long casting sessions. AR-C Spool – Patented spool lip design ensures line leaves the reel with less friction for longer, more accurate casts. High Gear (HG) Ratio – The 6.2:1 gear ratio retrieves 91cm of line per crank, ideal for picking up slack quickly.
