About this combo

Built specifically for casting and working soft plastic lures, this combo pairs the Assassin Allure Spin 7H with the Shimano 26 Nasci C5000XG and XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram — a cohesive softbaiting setup ready to fish straight out of the box.

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

The Assassin Allure Spin is a 7-foot heavy-rated 2-piece spinning rod designed to handle the demands of softbaiting. The Heavy power rating gives you the backbone to punch lures out to distance and drive hooks home, while the spinning configuration keeps it versatile across a range of soft plastic presentations. The 2-piece design makes it travel-friendly without compromising sensitivity or performance.

Reel: Shimano - 26 NASCI C5000XG

The 2026 Shimano Nasci C5000XG is a workhorse spinning reel built on proven Shimano engineering. The C5000 body size offers ample line capacity for longer casts and deep-water work, while the XG (extra high gear) ratio retrieves line quickly — ideal for burning soft plastics back or keeping pace with fast-moving fish. Smooth drag and Shimano's signature build quality make it a reliable choice for hard fishing.

Line: XBRAID - UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM

XBRAID's Upgrade X8 Pentagram is an 8-carrier braided line built around a pentagram weave structure for enhanced roundness, smoothness through guides, and consistent casting performance. The tight construction resists wind knots and improves knot strength — both critical when fishing soft plastics. High sensitivity ensures you feel every tap, twitch, and bottom contact through the braid to the rod tip.

Three components engineered to complement each other — this is a capable, no-compromise softbaiting combo for anglers who want to fish with confidence from day one. Add it to your cart today.

Shimano

The Shimano 26 Nasci C5000XG sets a new standard for mid-range spinning reels, combining the legendary durability of Hagane gearing with the refined smoothness of SilentDrive. Designed as a versatile workhorse for the New Zealand market, this reel bridges the gap between heavy freshwater applications and demanding saltwater inshore duties. It is an ideal choice for targeting Snapper over the weed beds or dropping light mechanical jigs for Kingfish in shallower waters. Hagane Gear – Cold-forged drive gear provides long-lasting smoothness and strength under heavy loads without the need for machining. SilentDrive Technology – Removes microscopic play in the drive train for a quieter, smoother rotation that improves lure feedback. X-Ship Support – Supports the pinion gear on both ends with bearings to maintain precise alignment and increase cranking power. CoreProtect Water Resistance – Protects the roller clutch, body, and line roller from water intrusion without creating heavy rotation. G-Free Body – Shifts the reel’s centre of gravity closer to the rod to reduce fatigue during long casting sessions. Screw-In Handle – Eliminates play between the handle and main gear for direct cranking power when fighting fish. Cross Carbon Drag – Delivers a smooth, consistent drag release to prevent line breakage during sudden runs.
