1. Slam Stick Rods: Premium Performance Without the Premium Price
Let’s start with the BIGGEST savings!
Our Slam Stick rods were designed to compete with fishing rods in the $300 price range, without the $300 price tag.
And with 50% OFF for Insiders and 30% OFF for non-Insiders, the value is even better!
But which Slam Stick should you choose?
If you’re primarily fishing close to home and don’t need a rod that breaks down for travel, I’d recommend the one-piece Slam Stick for the best overall performance.
It’s lightweight, sensitive, and comes in three power options:
- Medium Light: Excellent for smaller lures, lightweight jigs, and finesse presentations. A great option for winter sheepshead fishing, too!
- Medium: My recommendation for most inshore anglers. It’s versatile enough for everything from smaller soft plastics to 5-inch paddletails and weedless presentations.
- Medium Heavy: Ideal for bigger fish, heavier lures, dock fishing, and situations where you need extra pulling power.
One thing worth mentioning is that our Slam Stick rods tend to be slightly stronger than many comparable rods on the market.
So, if you’re between two power options, you may be able to go with the lighter one.
All three options are built around a 7’6″ length, which I believe offers an excellent combination of casting distance and fish control.
And with these Black Friday savings, there’s never been a better time to pick one up!
2. The Slam Stick Traveler: Multiple Rod Setups in ONE Case!
If you travel to fish, this is one of the coolest rods we’ve ever developed!
The Slam Stick Traveler gives you the performance of a premium fishing rod in a compact, three-piece design.
But here’s what makes it different from most travel rods…
You can actually customize the rod’s power AND action depending on what you’re targeting!
Each kit includes interchangeable sections that let you adjust your setup:
- Fast and Moderate-Fast Tips: Change the rod’s action depending on whether you’re throwing artificial lures or fishing live bait.
- Interchangeable Midsections: Choose between Medium Light/Medium or Medium/Medium Heavy configurations depending on your fishing needs.
- Compact Travel Case: Keep everything organized in one convenient case for your next trip.
For most inshore anglers targeting redfish, trout, snook, and similar species, I’d recommend the Medium Light/Medium combination.
But if you’re targeting bigger fish or throwing heavier lures, the Medium/Medium Heavy version is an excellent option.
And here’s another feature I LOVE…
You can purchase an additional butt section and carry TWO complete fishing rod setups in ONE travel case!
I recently did exactly that on a trip to Louisiana, and it was incredibly convenient.
Plus, the Traveler has outstanding sensitivity and feel. In fact, it performs better than many one-piece rods I’ve tested in the $200 to $300 range!
And with Insiders saving 50% and non-Insiders saving 30%, this is an excellent opportunity to upgrade your travel setup!
3. Prawn XT Lures: One Lure, 60+ Fish!
Now let’s talk about one of my all-time favorite fishing lures!
Our original Prawn has helped me catch personal-best fish across a wide variety of species, including redfish, snook, trout, tarpon, tripletail, cobia, and more!
It’s one of the most versatile soft plastics I’ve ever used.
But we wanted to make it even BETTER.
That’s where the Prawn XT comes in!
The new Prawn XT uses the same proven shape as our original Prawn, but with a specialized TPE material that’s incredibly durable.
How durable?
On a recent three-day fishing trip to Louisiana, I used ONE Prawn XT Jr. to land more than 60 fish!
And after three full days of abuse, that SAME lure was still in great shape!
I’ve never seen a soft plastic take that much punishment and keep catching fish.
The Prawn XT is available in two sizes:
- Prawn XT Original (4.3″): A versatile option for targeting larger inshore predators.
- Prawn XT Jr. (3.5″): Perfect for smaller presentations and a wide range of inshore species.
These lures offer excellent value at their regular price because of how long they last.
But with 70% OFF for Insiders and 50% OFF for non-Insiders, they’re an even better deal!
If you’ve been wanting to try the new Prawn XT, this is your chance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get the Black Friday discount if I already own a Slam Stick?
Yes! Even if you’ve purchased a Slam Stick before, you can use the new Black Friday coupon code on your next qualifying rod. Insiders save 50%, while non-Insiders save 30%. The new rod coupon code is valid for one use.
Do I have to be an Insider to get the Black Friday savings?
No! Non-Insiders can save 30% on qualifying Black Friday offers, while Salt Strong Insiders receive the bigger 50% discount.
Which Slam Stick rod is best for inshore fishing?
For most inshore anglers, I recommend the Medium power Slam Stick. It’s an excellent all-purpose rod for throwing soft plastics, weedless lures, and a variety of other inshore presentations.
Is the Slam Stick Traveler as good as the one-piece Slam Stick?
The one-piece Slam Stick offers the best overall sensitivity and performance, but the Traveler comes incredibly close! It’s also more versatile for traveling, thanks to its interchangeable sections and compact case.
What’s the difference between the Prawn XT and the original Prawn?
The Prawn XT uses the same proven lure shape as the original Prawn, but it’s made from an extremely durable TPE material that can withstand significantly more punishment from fish.

I am definitely taking advantage of the black Friday sale I want to buy the slam stick medium. I think it’s probably the best thing for me. I would like some input on that. With the Otis 2500 reel.
The Slam Stick is an excellent rod for inshore saltwater fishermen. It pairs nicely with most 2500 and 3000 sized spinning reels. The Otis 2500 is my personal favorite for it.
I own 2 Slam Stick Rods and I’m gonna say that AFTER using this rod and comparing it to the rods I retired, this rod is he cats meow !!. It has the strength to pull in a BULL Red and anything smaller. My rods are the medium heavy’s with 2500-3000 reels on each one and it just feels right. I own some Texas made MH Waterloo rods as well and the MH Slam Stick is way more sensitive and just has an overall better feel and balance when those 2 sized reels are on them. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend that ALL fishing guides invest in this rod because it can easily take the daily abuse that any customer can put on it.
It’s strong but also super light weight and super sensitive. The only question is how many can I get during this promo because it’s simply a no brainer investment for all inshore fishing needs.
Well after seeing how much you wanted a life member to pay for your coveted golden lifer rod over 400 bucks?! I still think I’ll stick with what has been working for me for over 2 decades now and that’s still St Croix rods paired with a nasci model Shimano reel the newest outfit i own is going on 10 years now and the reel is as smooth as warm butter and the rod is just as strong even after the many countless amount of fish I caught on it so why would I buy a new one?🤔 because in my baby boomer way of thinking I stick with what works and both of these brands have for me for many years now and they sure didn’t cost me 400 bucks!!! Not saying you guys sell junk just saying I’m very happy and am ALWAYS satisfied with what I already own because I take meticulous care of ALL the things I own that’s why they last so long and always will because I don’t buy junk either just saying thanks but definitely no thanks!
