The Salty Hundo

SALTY HUNDO & HUNDO '50
Introducing the Bates Salty Hundo & Salty Hundo '50—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.
