The Speedmaster Salmon is a range of rods specifically designed for
Scandinavian Salmon angler who fishes with sinkers and flies or large
salmon spinners or spoons. Designed without compromise, the moderately
fast action of the Speedmaster is perfect for keeping in direct control
with the sinker when guiding it down the river.
For many anglers Salmon fishing in the ultimate challenge and one of the
most effective methods, especially in the powerful rivers of
Scandinavia, is using a sinker and fly, or perhaps a large salmon
spinner. If this is the type of fishing that excites you then the
stunning Speedmaster Salmon is the rod for you. Pick one up and you’ll
immediate appreciate the responsiveness of the technology-packed blank
and it’s organically grip sections, which you can perfectly position in
your hands, and under your arm. This rod enables you precisely manoeuvre
your sinker or lure and create the perfect presentation for the salmon.
And when you hook into a fish, the rod takes on a remarkable fighting
curve that automatically compensates for aggressive runs, turns and
leaps associated with fighting salmon.
The combination of power and responsiveness of the Speedmaster Salmon is
generated by the use of High Modulus Carbon, combined with HPC and
Nanosheet technology. This high-end carbon combination is further
enhanced with Diaflash in the lower part of the blank, which increases
stiffness and contributes to the excellent feedback of the rod. To
maximise the performance of the blank Fuji Alconite K-type guides have
been chosen. These are corrosion resistant, lightweight and reduce
friction. On both the spinning and casting models an ergonomic Fuji VSS
reel seat offers comfort and security in equal measures. The Speedmaster
Salmon is available in casting models for use with multipliers and
overhead reels, and spinning options for use with spinning reels.
