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.
