Frödin SALAR S3 Fly Rod

A life on salmon rivers around the world, thousands of fishing days and an obsession to be more effective. Innovating the art of salmon fishing – catching more and bigger fish with better swimming flies led us to the introduction of SALAR Rods & Reels. Mikael is a perfectionist and demand the absolute best in all details, everything that can be improved should be improved. We asked ourselves; is it possible to make tackle that will outperform everything we ever tried?

The fly rod is a highly technical instrument that has to be developed with utter precision to perform with excellence. SALAR S3 are deep-action, hard-kicking rods that create loops carrying your fly the distance, precisely to where you want it. A natural extension of your body, not only to feel the fly swim but to enhance the sensation of that big fish aggressively grabbing your fly and turning downstream. The short cigar-shaped handle and the classic red butt are designed for optimal ergonomic position to transform the movement into the maximum amount of power without wearing you out. With a tremendous kick and unmatched sensibility – SALAR S3 Rods are tools of power, tools of joy! Made of the latest Japanese and Korean materials in what many recons the best rod factory in the world.

SALAR S3 10’ Single Handed Rod
SALAR 10’ – the powerful single handed rod for salmon and sea trout. It’s the ideal set-up for small rivers and low water – but still powerful enough for a sinker and bigger flies. It handles big strong fish but also tiny flies with absolute accuracy. It’s perfect on tricky conditions for spooky fish, to skate or free float a dry fly or even wading the windy coastline for silvery sea trout.

SALAR S3 12’6 Double Handed Rod
This is the most precise and delicate double handed rod in the SALAR S3 Series. With the deep SALAR kick, it performs a tight narrow loop even during tricky conditions. It handles a floater with a tip, intermediate or even a full sinker. The 12’6 action makes everything looks easy, performing like nothing you’ve tried before. The 12’6 fast became the nr. 1 favourite for many in the Frödinflies Team. Try it and get addicted by the delicate power that handles salmon any size.

SALAR S3 14’ Double Handed Rod
The SALAR 14-footer with its powerful SALAR kick is the rod that can do it all! To be delicate with floaters and long leaders, or hammer that heavy sinker into a freezing cold spring river – this rod handles everything to perfection. It’s the favourite among many European salmon anglers as well as Canadian steelhead bums. Light, powerful, deep, and extremely accurate – kick it and watch the loop cut the wind like a knife!

SALAR S3 15’ Double Handed Rod
The S3 15-footer has a bit more backbone to it than the previous S2 model, yet with the signature SALAR kick it’s still very much a smooth deep-action rod. It handles everything from a floater to the heaviest grain line. It lifts and steers even the biggest bulkiest fly. Made for big rivers, hard fights and powerful fish – the limitation will be you, not the rod! This is the rod for hardcore spring fishermen that love the challenge of fast water and big fish. Kick it down to the handle and enjoy the pure power it delivers!

SALAR S3 16’ Double Handed Rod
The 16-footer is made to meet the demand from the biggest rivers in the north. Long casts and heavy lines – it holds up and slows down a fly in the most effective way. SALAR 16’ is one hell of a powerful tool. It handles any lines, long heads and heavier sink rates. Mikael and the Frödinflies Ambassador Team are super happy with how this new member of the SALAR Rod Series performs. It kicks like a wild mustang – brutal but still delicate!
