Salt XT Series Fly Rods

Performance, Precision, and Value — Built for Australian Waters

Built to Handle the Salt

Constructed from high-modulus graphite, the Salt XT Series delivers a fast-action blank with the strength to turn over big flies and the backbone to stop powerful fish when it counts.

Whether you're targeting GTs, permit, queenfish, or barra, these rods are built to perform under pressure.

Designed for Australian Flyfishers

At DNA Fishing Tackle, we don’t design gear for showroom shelves — we design it to fish. The Salt XT Series has been built with real-world conditions in mind, giving you the confidence to fish hard in salt without worrying about performance.
