This ready-to-fish softbaiting setup pairs the Assassin Allure Spin 7M rod with the Shimano 25 Ultegra C3000HG reel and XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram braid — delivering the sensitivity, power, and reliability serious softbait anglers demand.

Rod: Assassin - Allure Spin 7M Softbait Rod

The Allure Spin 7M is purpose-built for softbaiting, offering a 7-foot medium-action blank designed to load naturally during lure work and detect subtle bites. Its construction delivers the sensitivity needed to feel every twitch and tick through the rod tip, while retaining enough backbone to drive hooks home and control fish at close range.

Reel: Shimano - 25 ULTEGRA C3000HG

The 2025 Ultegra C3000HG is a high-gear spinning reel built on Shimano's latest platform, offering smooth, consistent retrieve performance for repetitive softbait presentations. The HG configuration delivers a faster line recovery rate — ideal for working lures efficiently and picking up slack quickly when a fish commits. Compact, balanced, and made to match light-to-medium softbait outfits perfectly.

Line: XBRAID - UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM

XBRAID's Upgrade X8 Pentagram is an 8-carrier braid engineered for superior roundness, smoothness, and casting performance. Its pentagram weave structure minimises friction through rod guides for longer, more accurate casts — critical when targeting structure or working lures at depth. Low stretch enhances bite detection and delivers direct contact with your softbait throughout the retrieve.

Three components engineered to complement each other for softbaiting — this combo suits inshore and estuarine anglers chasing snapper, kahawai, and beyond. Add to cart and hit the water ready.
