Shakespeare SALT XT Bass Fishing Rod

The Shakespeare SALT XT Bass Rod is purpose-built for serious sea bass anglers who demand maximum sensitivity, long casting performance, and reliable hook-ups. Designed with a super slim and lightweight high-grade carbon blank, this rod delivers outstanding bite detection while remaining comfortable during long shore sessions.

With a fast taper and intelligent power flow, the SALT XT allows you to react instantly to subtle takes — helping increase hook-up ratios when targeting bass in estuaries, surf beaches, and rough ground venues around Ireland.

The 11ft6 (330cm) length combined with a 2–4oz (56–112g) casting rating makes it ideal for covering distance while maintaining control over lures and rigs in challenging coastal conditions.
