Fine-tuned for casting your favourite barra lures – either soft plastic or hard-bodied – for fish in river situations, it’s the perfect length, action and power for combining casting accuracy with fish extraction on tidal water.
This latest blank is designed with a detachable handle to make it user-friendly for the travelling angler while the 1pc ‘blade’ gives maximum performance. In fact the balance and sensitivity of this new Salty Barra has to be felt to be believed!
With an easy casting tip action, and a positive blank taper that unleashes the ‘down-low’ fighting power, the ‘Salty’ is well known to be user-friendly for casting and retrieving, while also providing the angler good power for fish fighting. Basically, it’s your perfect barra river rod!
This rod performs with braid lines with mono leaders*, as well as ‘straight-through’ monofilament lines of either FC or nylon. The KW guide train uses Fuji’s latest ‘Slim Ring’ SiC ceramic with stainless steel frames for corrosion resistance.
Ian’s own custom designed and exclusive anti-tangle hook keeper is positioned exactly where you need to keep your lure secured between stops.
The Salty Barra incorporates Ian’s latest ergonomically styled casting handles, comprising Fuji ECS reel seat with a custom carbon locking hood, and custom shaped x-firm blue Camoufish EVA, all finished with the ‘M’ logo anti-skid butt cap. This handle gives the angler a comfortable and positive grip for the rigours of barra lure casting!
