Shimano Speedmaster Salmon 50-120g

The Speedmaster Salmon is a range of rods specially 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 as it descends the river. For many anglers, salmon fishing is the ultimate challenge, and one of the most effective methods, particularly in the powerful rivers of Scandinavia, is to use a weight and a fly, or perhaps a large spinning lure for salmon. If this type of fishing excites you, then the superb Speedmaster Salmon is the rod for you. Get one and you'll immediately appreciate the responsiveness of this technology-packed blank and its organic grip sections, which you can perfectly position in your hands and under your arm. This rod allows you to accurately maneuver your weight or lure and create the perfect presentation for salmon. And when you hook a fish, the rod adopts 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 reinforced 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, Fuji Alconite K-type guides have been selected. 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.
