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.

A salt rod requires strength for the pure pulling power of getting high-stakes fish to the boat quicker, and due to our more advanced graphite, a simple material swap increased our strength by twenty five percent per weight. The key is that this increase in strength did not require adding more material or reinforcement, it was a natural extension of the aerospace material advance in fiber and composition.

At the same time our SALT R8 rods are characterized by enhanced durability, a critical trait in the rougher, tougher, and more remote environments of saltwater fly fishing. Whether the knock-around durability of skiffs and roof racks, the corrosive, abrasive factors of salt and sand, or long travel to remote lodges, a salt rod needs to deliver in the category of durability

Steeped in Saltwater Knowledge, Insight, and Tradition from our Immersion in the Keys

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. During their lengthy saltwater immersion, they listened carefully to the shops, guides, scientists, stories, and legends to truly understand what was happening on the water and what was really required to shape and hone a more perfect tool for saltwater sight fishing. Steeped in those cumulative decades of tradition, insight, and knowledge, our design team then harnessed the power of Revolution 8 Technology and our precise knowledge of performance rod taper to create what naturally evolved into the fight and touch of the SALT R8 collection.
