The Shakespeare SALT XT FS Surf is a lightweight 3 piece rod that is built on a high grade carbon blank with a fast progressive taper action that has been especially designed to be used with fixed spool reels. The sensitive tip offers fantastic bite indication, even at range, and the powerful mid and butt allow you to achieve maximum distance and also perfectly control a hard fighting fish. Next to that, the rod is equipped with special SW proof K-type guides, thereby making sure that the line cannot get entangled around the guides anymore, preventing knots or breakages. A perfect rod for medium to long range fishing on clean to mixed rough ground.
