Frödin Salar S4 DH Fly Rod - 16' #10/12

Frödin Salar S4 DH Fly Rod - 11' #6/7
The 11-footer is the most delicate rod in the series—extremely light and a dream to fish also single-handed. The extra foot provides added control, making it ideal for hitching or dry fly fishing over spooky fish in clear water. Designed like a two-handed rod, the lower handle is long enough for a comfortable two-handed grip. While some call it a “switch” rod, we see it as a small two-hander for the most refined presentations. Its ultra-light weight allows it to be fished single-handed when space allows, offering versatility and ease in all situations.

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.

Frödin Salar S4 DH Fly Rod - 13' #8/9
This rod bridges the gap after our prized 12’6 S3, handling the same line weights but offering improved performance in both short-line control and distance. It’s significantly lighter, making casting effortless hour after hour. A joy to fish over long days and weeks, yet powerful enough to handle big fish in fast, challenging pools. Thanks to the enhanced S4 technology, this #8/9-weight rod will take over much of the fishing traditionally done with 14-footers, even performing with precision when using heavy sinking lines. We believe this will be an excellent choice for a first two-handed rod.

The S4 14’ is the ultimate all-rounder–a rod that won’t let you down, whether you’re fishing heavy sinking lines in high water or presenting a small fly delicately on the surface. It has proven itself on the mighty Alta, Québec, Scotland’s rivers, and beyond, handling big salmon with ease. Light and effortless to cast, it delivers power right through to the final turn of the shooting line. With impressive reserves of strength, it takes on the toughest fish without compromise. A trusted companion in all conditions, it’s a rod we’ll keep fishing for decades to come.

Frödin Salar S4 DH Fly Rod - 15 #10/11
The 15-footer has long been the benchmark for big two-handed rods. In the past, casting one for a full 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 serious reach and power, it delivers pinpoint accuracy even with the bulkiest flies. While we love it with our new “SALAR Catch” line profile, this rod handles any line with ease. A true game-changer for those chasing big fish in demanding conditions.

Frödin Salar S4 DH Fly Rod - 16' #10/12
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.
