Greater Pulling power equals more fight for faster landing times and less stress on delicate ecosystems. Enhanced durability and toughness allows blank to withstand more rugged situations and demands of saltwater fishing and travel.

A Residence In SALTWATER

A Residence In SALTWATER

To really understand what was happening in the heart and soul of saltwater fly-fishing we sent our senior rod designers to the birthplace of the discipline in the Florida Keys.

Greater Pulling Power plus Knock-Around Toughness

Greater Pulling Power plus Knock-Around Toughness

While a strong and durable rod is essential for saltwater environments, strength and durability are not the same thing. But we made sure that our new Salt R8 rods were built with both characteristics.

MADE IN THE USA

MADE IN THE USA

We’re not a big faceless factory, but rather a workplace of craftspeople who design and build the world’s best fly rods and reels using our hands and hearts. We do it by sharing ideas and always asking the next question to find what can be done to make this better. Our rods are built one at time right here on Bainbridge Island, WA, following hundreds of meticulous steps and passing through 23 sets of hands. We’re out there fishing the same places in the same unforgiving conditions that you are. Craftsmanship is applied experience. Lifetimes of it.
