Product Info

The Bates Fishing Co. Salty Hundo’50 is a premium low-profile baitcasting reel engineered for anglers who demand lightweight performance, refined precision, and true saltwater durability. Built around a CNC-machined 6061-T6 bar stock aluminum one-piece frame, the Salty Hundo’50 offers exceptional rigidity and corrosion resistance while maintaining a compact profile that palms comfortably during long days on the water. Designed specifically for inshore and coastal applications, this reel delivers the power and line capacity needed for targeting calico bass, spotted bay bass, redfish, snook, striped bass, and other hard-fighting species.

Internally, the Salty Hundo’50 features reinforced brass gearing, stainless steel components, and a premium 10+2+1 bearing system for smooth retrieves and dependable performance under load. The magnetic braking system allows for precise casting adjustments across a variety of lure weights and fishing conditions, while the powerful drag system delivers up to 20 pounds of stopping power when fish make strong runs. A 100mm aluminum handle paired with oversized knobs provides excellent grip and leverage in wet saltwater environments.

Finished in a corrosion-resistant nautical blue anodized coating, the Salty Hundo’50 blends premium craftsmanship, lightweight comfort, and serious saltwater capability into one of the most refined baitcasting reels available today.
