Shakespeare Salt Surf Spinning Rod 4.2m 112–170g

Shakespeare Salt Surf 423 — Reliable Distance Casting from Beach or Pier

The Shakespeare Salt Surf 423 is a 4.2 m surfcasting rod built to deliver the power and reach you need for coastal fishing, combining robust carbon composite construction with saltwater-ready components at an outstanding price point.

Strong Yet Lightweight Graphite Blank

The graphite composite blank provides the backbone required for long-distance casting with leads and baits in the 112–170 g range, while keeping the overall weight at just 590 g. The fast action ensures responsive tip sensitivity for bite detection, yet retains enough power through the mid-section to handle larger fish and rough surf conditions.

Saltwater-Proof Components Built to Last

Stainless steel guides with zirconium inserts resist corrosion in harsh marine environments, while the robust DPS reel seat holds your reel securely even during powerful casts. The split-grip handle design offers comfortable, fatigue-free fishing during longer sessions, and the highlighted tip section improves bite visibility in low light or at distance.
