100 Size:
Introducing the Bates Salty Hundo—the next evolution in precision engineering for saltwater anglers.
While the original Hundo is certainly saltwater rated and plenty capable in saline rich waters, the Salty
Hundo is reengineered and built to endure the harshest marine environments, combining rugged
durability with unmatched performance, ensuring you never miss a catch.
Crafted on the smaller footprint of our 100 frame, the Salty Hundo still packs a punch with its gunmetal
grey anodized aluminum body, now reinforced with an upgraded brass internal gear set and stainless
steel components to boot. Say goodbye to corrosion worries—the Salty Hundo is built to withstand the
corrosive effects of saltwater, ensuring longevity and reliability even in the toughest conditions.
Engineered for versatility, the Salty Hundo features a dual braking system and a shallower spool,
allowing for precise control, even over lighter lines and lures. The result? Effortless casting and smooth
retrieves, tailored to your exact preferences.
But the upgrades don't stop there. You'll also find a newly designed, CNC milled crank arm aiding the
silky-smooth operation with every turn of the handle and secured by our Torx titanium screw.
Whether you're chasing trophy fish or targeting delicate species, the Bates Salty Hundo delivers
unparalleled performance and reliability. Elevate your saltwater game with the precision and
craftsmanship of the Salty Hundo—because when it comes to fishing gear, nothing less than perfection
will do.
