Shakespeare SALT XT Bass 3.45m 56–112g — Maximum bite detection for estuary and surf bass

The Shakespeare SALT XT Bass combines a super slim, high-grade 24T carbon blank with fast taper action to deliver exceptional feel and instant bite registration. Designed specifically for bass anglers working estuaries, surf zones and rough ground, this 2-piece rod offers the sensitivity to detect subtle takes and the power flow to react quickly for higher hook-up ratios.

Lightning-fast bite detection with responsive blank

The slim 24T carbon construction keeps the blank lightweight (465g) for all-day comfort, while the fast taper and power flow enable you to respond instantly when a bass strikes. The sensitive tip section telegraphs even the lightest bites, giving you the edge in competitive situations or when fish are cautious.

Tangle-free casting with SW-proof K-type guides

Stainless steel K-type guides prevent line from wrapping around the frame—a common frustration in coastal fishing that causes tangles, knots and lost fish. Combined with the anti-slip X-wrap shrink grip and rubber bulb, you can fire long casts session after session without fatigue or gear failure.
