Description

DESCRIPTION We were never really drawn to rods longer than 15 feet, as the extra foot rarely felt worth it—until now. Mikael helped develop the first 16’ Sage rods in the mid-80s, but we’ve rarely used them since. With the S4, that has changed. This exceptionally light and well-balanced 16-footer is a dream for big rivers, offering extra reach, control, and the ability to slow down the fly—often the key to success in early season fishing. Despite its size and power, it remains effortless to cast, even during long days under the midnight sun. A firm favourite among our team members fishing the heavily flowing northern rivers. FEATURES – Short cigar shaped ergonomic handle – Classic burgundy red butt in durable high-tech foam – First-class cork – Robust reel seat in silver – Matte deep burgundy blanks with glossy tone in tone windings – Hard chrome snake guides – Stripping guides in titanium – Burgundy rod sock – Black triangular non-breakable cordura rod tube – Advanced 33-ton + Toray T1100 material – 3D Cross strength technique – Helical Core stress-relief – X-Joint construction for smooth arch and powerful sensitivity SPECS – Model: SALAR S4 Double Handed – Length: 16 ft – Class: #10/11 – Pieces: 6 pcs – Weight: 275 g – Line weight: 46–50 g – Line recommendation: SALAR Catch #11/12 DH 48 g
