After my very good experience with the smaller sibling in the Bonebreaker family (Bonebreaker 1-10g casting weight), I was eager to try out the sea trout hunter, the Bonebreaker Salt. Here's my experience:
The first impression was just as appealing as with its smaller sibling. Good craftsmanship, everything aligned, and a very nice leverage arm. The guides initially seemed very small to me, but everything fit together perfectly. A huge plus point is the hook eyelet, which is very practical for sea trout fishing.
Over Easter, my family and I took a day trip to the beautiful sunny island of Fehmarn. We packed the usual: some food and good spirits. But I thought to myself, I'll bring my Bonebreaker Salt along. Temporarily, I paired it with a Penn Pursuit IV Spinning reel in the 2500 size. I chose a 0.12mm line. I packed some leader line and a few inline wobblers between 16g and 23g, and then we headed to the coast.
With blue skies, small waves, and a water temperature of 4 degrees, I wasn't expecting anything big. I just wanted to test the equipment. Then came the first cast... I was thrilled! The rod is really fun to use. The tip is relatively soft, feels very good, and the backbone is very stable.
If I can believe the online map provider next door, the Salt loaded up very well, and I could cast the lures about 60 to 80 meters. I wouldn't have necessarily needed waders. I could cast comfortably from shore. All in all, a very good rod! From my perspective, the price-performance ratio is excellent. 5 stars!!!
Conclusion:
It's worth adding this rod to your fishing arsenal for sea trout hunting.
