Shimano Speedmaster Salmon 20-60g

The Speedmaster Salmon is a range of rods specifically designed for Scandinavian salmon anglers who fish with weights and flies or large spoons or spinning lures for salmon. Built without compromise, the moderate fast action of the Speedmaster is perfect for maintaining direct control of the weight when descending the river. For many anglers, salmon fishing represents the ultimate challenge, and one of the most effective methods, especially in the powerful rivers of Scandinavia, is to use a weight and a fly, or perhaps a large spinning lure for salmon. If this is the type of fishing that excites you, then the superb Speedmaster Salmon is the rod you need. Grab one and you'll immediately appreciate the responsiveness of this technology-packed blank and its organically shaped sections, which fit perfectly in your hands and under your arm. This rod allows you to maneuver your weight or lure with precision and create the perfect presentation for salmon. When you hook a fish, the rod takes on a remarkable fighting curve that automatically compensates for aggressive movements, turns, and jumps associated with the fight. 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 premium carbon combination is enhanced by the presence of Diaflash in the lower part of the blank, which increases stiffness and contributes to the excellent feedback of the rod. To maximize the performance of the blank, K-type Fuji Alconite guides have been chosen. They are corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and reduce friction with the line. On the spinning and casting models, an ergonomic Fuji VSS reel seat offers comfort and security. The Speedmaster Salmon is available in a casting version for use with round and flat profiles, and in a spinning version.
