Built for anglers who demand performance on the road and on the water, this softbaiting and travel combo pairs the Assassin Allure Spin 7MH-3 with the Shimano 25 Ultegra C3000HG and XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram braid — a complete, ready-to-fish setup engineered to travel light without compromise.

Rod: Assassin - Allure Spin 7MH-3 Spinning Rod

The Allure Spin 7MH-3 is a medium-heavy spinning rod designed specifically for softbait applications. At 7 feet in a multi-piece travel configuration, it packs down for easy transport without sacrificing blank integrity or sensitivity. The MH power rating handles a wide range of softbait rigs, delivering the tip action needed for lifelike lure movement and the backbone to control fish at depth.

Reel: Shimano - 25 ULTEGRA C3000HG

The 2025 Shimano Ultegra C3000HG brings flagship-level technology to a highly accessible price point. The HG (High Gear) retrieve rate keeps up with fast-moving softbaits and allows instant slack management, while Shimano's refined drag system delivers smooth, consistent pressure throughout the fight. The C3000 size is the sweet spot for inshore and light offshore softbaiting.

Line: XBRAID - UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM

XBRAID's Upgrade X8 Pentagram is an 8-carrier braid constructed with a pentagram weave for exceptional roundness, smoothness, and casting distance. Its high sensitivity and low stretch make it ideal for detecting subtle softbait takes, while the tight weave resists wind knots and guides wear — critical qualities for travel fishing across varied conditions.

Three components, one focused purpose — this combo is built for softbait anglers who travel. Grab it as a complete setup and fish confidently from day one.
