Iwana Salmon Series Fly Reel black & silver
The Salmon Series by Iwana features an iconic look, which has been significantly influenced by the famous Bogdan fly reels since the 1950s. The classic design of this S-handle reel from Iwana is absolutely timeless and a real eye-catcher on a variety of different rods! A tribute to the works of art of the world-famous reel maker, whose creations can today be found in the vitrines of passionate collectors.
With the pleasant sound of its classic Drum Drag System, the Iwana Salmon Series is also an absolute pleasure for the ears! At the latest when a beautiful big Sea Trout or Salmon joins in and pulls the line from the reel, the heart of every fly fisher does a proper leap. And don't worry: despite its vintage look, this tried-and-tested reel also copes with fighting strong Atlantic Salmon without any problems - the largest models are used in Norway on the big Salmon rivers with strongt currents, for example. Retro meets modern and only the best materials and components are used for the Iwana Salmon Series. The flawless craftsmanship of Iwana's reel makers is also visible in the finish. Every edge is worked super clean and every part is milled and screwed with the highest precision and routine. Each unique piece is rounded off with a silver-coloured plate on the closed back of the reel and an individual reel number on the high-quality base made of 6061-T6 aircraft aluminium.
The Salmon Series from Iwana is available in different sizes, so you can find the right model for your Trout Spy, Switch or Spey Rod rod. A very versatile reel series that we immediately took to our hearts because of the special Iwana philosophy!
So if you are looking for a high quality, minimalist fly reel with a traditional look, then the Iwana Salmon Series is for you! A classy fly reel for fly fishers who are looking for a timeless fly reel for the Salmon river - not for the vitrine.
