Description

DESCRIPTION During the S4 series testing, we took these rods around the world—eight months of rigorous trials in all conditions, led by some of Scandinavia’s most experienced salmon and sea trout anglers. This 12-footer quickly became a favourite, proving its versatility from Canada’s smaller rivers to Tierra del Fuego’s sea trout waters. Extremely light yet powerful, it features the signature “SALAR kick”, making both precise short-line fishing and effortless long-distance casting easier than ever. With the power of a traditional 14-footer in line weight #9/10, it’s a dream to fish during long days on the water.

Field Notes

Designed for two-handed salmon and sea trout fishing on rivers, especially when you need long-distance casting and controlled short-line presentations. The 12-foot length and #7/8 class make it versatile for covering water in smaller rivers or larger systems with heavier line setups.

Pros

  • Very light for a double-handed rod
  • Strong casting power with the SALAR kick
  • Versatile for both short-line and long-distance work
  • Includes rod sock and hard tube for transport

Cons

  • High price point
  • Specialized two-handed setup may be less accessible for beginners
  • Six-piece design can be less convenient than fewer-piece rods
