SALT Silver Ghost Lure Rig – 2/0

Overview

The Shakespeare SALT Silver Ghost Lure Rig is a ready-tied multi-lure sea fishing rig from Shakespeare's SALT range, designed to imitate small baitfish through a silver/holographic flash as it moves through the water.

Four mini lures, each featuring a red head and holographic silver body, are mounted on size 2/0 hooks along a 60 lb mainline. This heavier mainline makes the Silver Ghost a more substantial rig than some lightweight mackerel strings, giving anglers a ready-to-fish option without having to construct their own multi-hook lure rig.

Built for both shore and boat sea fishing, the rig is identified by product code 1550435 and EAN 043388130662, and is sold under Shakespeare's established SALT saltwater lure range.

Perfect For

This lure rig is primarily aimed at mackerel fishing, with pollock and coalfish standing out as particularly relevant secondary species. Shakespeare's SALT range also lists cod and ling among the species these flashing lures can attract.

It suits pier, harbour, rock and boat fishing, reflecting the broader shore and boat usage that the Silver Ghost is designed for. Simply attach it to your main line with a suitable weight at the lower end and work it through the water column to let the lures flash.

Technical Insight

The four mini lures combine a red head with a holographic silver body, creating the flash and baitfish appearance associated with feeding shoals of mackerel and similar species. This makes the rig primarily suited to fishing vertically or on a retrieve, where the individual lures move independently and catch the light.

The 60 lb mainline gives the Silver Ghost extra strength compared to lighter feather-style rigs, while the ready-tied, size 2/0 hook construction means there's no rig building required - just attach a weight and start fishing.
