Purpose-built for softbaiting and light casting, this combo pairs the Assassin Supernova 77MH with the Shimano 24 Vanford 4000MHG and XBRAID Upgrade X8 Pentagram braid — giving you the sensitivity, power, and line performance to work soft plastics with precision.

Rod: Assassin - Supernova 77MH Softbait Rod

The Supernova 77MH is a 7'7" medium-heavy softbait rod designed specifically for working soft plastics across a range of inshore and offshore scenarios. Its progressive action loads smoothly for long, accurate casts while delivering the backbone needed to control and land hard-running fish. The blank is tuned for feel — transmitting subtle bottom contact and strikes directly to your hands.

Reel: Shimano - 24 VANFORD 4000MHG

The 24 Vanford 4000MHG brings Shimano's Hagane Body and MicroModule Gear II technology into a surprisingly lightweight frame, reducing fatigue during long softbait sessions. The High Gear ratio delivers fast line pickup to keep pace with erratic retrieves and reactive strikes. Smooth drag, refined feel, and a 4000-size capacity make it an ideal match for medium-heavy softbait applications.

Line: XBRAID - UPGRADE X8 PENTAGRAM

XBRAID's Upgrade X8 Pentagram is an 8-carrier braid built with a pentagram weave structure for a rounder, smoother profile that flows cleanly through guides and casts further. The low-stretch construction amplifies sensitivity — critical when reading bottom structure and detecting light takes on soft plastics. Its high strength-to-diameter ratio makes it a natural pairing for this medium-heavy softbait setup.

Together, these three components form a refined, fish-ready softbait combo suited to serious anglers targeting snapper, kahawai, and beyond. Add to cart and hit the water ready to go.
