The Shakespeare Salt Spin is a nice little 3 piece 1-3oz rated spinning/bass rod. Good Fuji guides and fittings are used and for the money (£35 cheapest) its a nice little rod. Can be used with heavier plugs and poppers say over 20g, but is also good with heavier spinners and spinning sandeel or jellies for pollack. It also makes a nice rod for macky spinning in the summer, float fishing, flattie bashing and light bass/ surf fishing. Have a look at one and i bet you cant fail to be impressed for the price, it is a very versatile piece of kit for very little money.
