About this combo
This ready-to-fish softbaiting combo pairs the Assassin Allure Spin 7MH with the Shimano Vanford 2500HG and Atomic Linez 8X braid — giving you a cohesive, performance-matched setup designed to work lures with precision and feel every bite.
Rod: Assassin - Allure Spin 7MH 2pc Spinning Rod
The 7-foot medium-heavy, 2-piece spinning rod is built for versatile softbait presentations. Its MH power rating handles a wide range of soft plastics and jigheads while still delivering the sensitivity needed to detect subtle takes. The two-piece design keeps it travel-friendly without compromising blank performance.
Reel: Shimano - VANFORD 2500HG
The Vanford 2500HG is built on Shimano's lightweight HAGANE body and CI4+ frame, making it one of the lightest reels in its class. The High Gear ratio delivers fast line pick-up — critical when working soft plastics back to the boat quickly. Smooth MicroModule II gearing and Silent Drive ensure effortless retrieves cast after cast.
Line: Atomic - Linez Braid 8X Multi Colour
Atomic Linez 8X is an 8-strand braided mainline engineered for tight weave, low stretch, and high sensitivity — exactly what softbaiting demands. The multi-colour coding gives you instant depth and distance awareness, so you can repeat productive retrieves accurately. Its thin diameter maximises casting distance and pairs naturally with a 2500-size reel.
Three components. One purpose. This combo is ideal for inshore and light offshore softbaiting — grab it as a complete, confidence-ready setup and start fishing smarter.
