AQUANTIC Salt Shad² Halibut Spin 2,25m - up to 220g

AQUANTIC Salt Shad² Halibut Spin

With the AQUANTIC Salt Shad² Halibut Spin, AQUANTIC presents a modern specialist rod for demanding saltwater boat fishing. It has been specifically developed for halibut fishing, but it is also an excellent choice whenever a powerful sea rod with reliable action and strong reserves is required.

A key feature of this rod is its successful combination of a firm yet sensitive tip and an ultra-strong backbone. This allows both natural baits and artificial lures to be worked in a controlled way, ensures solid hook sets and provides the strength needed to handle the hard runs of big fish. When targeting powerful saltwater species, a rod must combine sensitivity with serious lifting power – and this is exactly where the Salt Shad² Halibut Spin performs.

The semi-parabolic to parabolic blank absorbs sudden lunges extremely well and helps guide the fish safely and under control to the surface. At the same time, the extra-balanced action ensures comfortable and precise handling during extended fishing sessions. This makes the rod not only powerful, but also very pleasant to fish.

Another major highlight is the 24-ton carbon blank, which delivers excellent performance while helping to reduce overall weight. The updated Saltshad series has not only received a striking modern facelift, but has also been significantly improved in functionality. The braided carbon in the handle section gives the rod a highly modern and premium appearance while also offering an excellent tactile feel. In addition, this design contributes to noticeable weight reduction and improved handling in demanding saltwater conditions.

The AQUANTIC Salt Shad² Halibut Spin is equipped with strong K-type guides with SIC inserts, designed to withstand high stress in saltwater use. The high-quality MVS-TS reel seat keeps the reel securely in place, while the flattened EVA handle ensures optimal grip during the fight. A permanently mounted hook keeper completes this practical and well-thought-out setup.

The Saltshad series covers modern applications from light to heavy saltwater fishing – from pollack, cod and coalfish through to halibut. The Salt Shad² Halibut Spin is clearly aimed at powerful fishing situations where large fish, heavy pressure and controlled fights are the priority.
