Frödin Salar S4 6pc Double Handed Fly Rod

The Salar S4 is the latest rod series from Mikael Frödin and a breakthrough in modern rod building for salmon experts from Scandinavia. The 6-piece S4 is one of the lightest and strongest two-handed rods on the market! These premium salmon rods are built with state-of-the-art materials in one of the world's most renowned rod factories, delivering a deep, smooth action with the characteristic SALAR kick. The extended series includes various travel rods, ranging from short models for small rivers to impressive two-handers for the largest waters in the far north. With its exceptional balance, precision, and effortless casting performance, the S4 transforms every movement into power. A rod designed for confidence, comfort, and the pursuit of the fish of a lifetime - the best Frödin has ever developed!

All Salar S4 two-handed rods are 6-piece, making them an ideal choice for travel. Their compact size allows for easy transport in a suitcase. The blank's action is not affected by the segmentation! The deep burgundy-colored matte blank, with its tone-on-tone wraps, offers a classic, timeless look and is equipped with high-quality components. These include an ergonomic, top-quality cork grip and a smooth-running bronze aluminum reel seat that securely holds your salmon reel in place. The finishing touch is a classic butt made of durable high-tech foam in a matching color, as seen in other Salar rods. The guides include titanium stripping guides and hard chrome snake guides, with Mikael placing the highest emphasis on quality!

The advanced rod blank of the S4 is made from 33-ton material and Toray T1100 material, providing exceptional strength, responsiveness, and sensitivity. The perfect setup for ultimate casting performance! Subtle but practical catch & release length markings on the blank offer a quick and easy reference for measuring your catch. These markings were designed for responsible anglers, helping to handle the fish properly while allowing you to appreciate and document your success before safely releasing it. The modern matte graphics on the blank blend seamlessly with the tone-on-tone wraps on the burgundy blank, creating an elegant and sophisticated look. The burgundy-colored, triangular Cordura rod tube is built for ultimate durability, protecting your valuable rod from impacts and harsh conditions. The unbreakable design ensures secure transport, while the embroidered logo adds a touch of elegance.

Our Recommendations:

• 11 ft #6/7: The 11-foot rod is the most delicate rod in the Salar S4 series - extremely lightweight and a dream for fishing even with one hand! The length of 11 ft provides extra control, making it the ideal tool for wary fish in clear water. The lower grip is long enough for a comfortable two-handed grip and is designed like a two-handed rod. A short two-hander for the most refined presentations that, thanks to its ultra-lightweight, can also be fished single-handedly if space allows. It offers versatility and lightness in all situations.
• 12 ft #7/8: This 12-foot rod is a favorite of Mikael Frödin, proving its versatility in both the smaller rivers of Scandinavia and the sea trout waters of Tierra del Fuego. It is extremely light yet powerful and features the characteristic SALAR kick, making precise short-line fishing and effortless long-distance casting easier than ever. With the power of a traditional 14-foot rod in line class #9/10, it is a dream for long days on the water.
• 13 ft #8/9: The 13-foot rod offers incredible control and performance across all casting distances. It is a pleasure to fish with over long days and weeks. Nevertheless, it is powerful enough to outmaneuver large fish in fast, challenging pools. Thanks to the improved S4 technology, this #8/9 takes over much of the fishing traditionally done with 14-foot rods and delivers precise performance even when using heavy sinking lines.
• 14 ft #9/10: This 14-foot rod is the ultimate all-rounder - a rod that will not let you down, whether you are fishing with heavy sinking lines in high water or delicately presenting a small fly on the surface. It has proven itself on the mighty Alta, in Quebec, in Scotland's rivers, and beyond, handling large salmon with ease. It is light and effortless to cast, delivering power right to the last meter of your running line. With its impressive power reserves, it can take on the toughest fish without compromise. A reliable companion in all conditions and a rod you will fish with for decades.
• 15 ft #10/11: The 15-foot rod has long been the benchmark for large two-handed rods. In the past, casting such a rod all day was hard work - but not anymore. The S4 15' is the lightest of its kind, making long sessions with heavy lines effortless. Designed for range and power, it delivers pinpoint accuracy even with the thickest flies. A true innovation for those hunting big fish under challenging conditions.
• 16 ft #11/12: This exceptionally light and well-balanced 16-foot rod is a dream for large rivers, offering extra reach, control, and the ability to slow down the fly - often the key to success when fishing early in the season. Despite its size and power, it casts effortlessly, even during long days under the midnight sun. A recommendation for passionate salmon anglers fishing the fast-flowing northern rivers.

In short: With the Salar S4 two-handed rod, you secure yourself a unique piece. A modern high-performance rod with an elegant look that you can proudly bring to any salmon river. The unique combination of power and finesse makes casting a true pleasure. A well-thought-out 6-piece rod series covering all aspects of salmon fishing. From delicate floaters to heavy sinkers, the S4 cuts through the air like a knife!
