THE SALAR 'SET-UP GUIDE'

Our lightest set-up. The Daisy One or Duke One balances beautifully with this rod, while 100 m of 30 lbs backing is more than enough. The well-balanced SALAR lines deliver superior presentation. We built this for the smallest rivers—think Icelandic streams, British spate rivers, Sweden’s west coast, Canadian dry fly adventures, and of course, coastal sea trout. It also shines for anglers targeting larger brown and rainbow trout with bigger flies. A refined set-up for precise work, ideal when finesse matters most. Choose the line system to suit your fishing: Catch Single-Piece with Cobra Shooting Line for the classic shooting-head set-up; Catch Integrated for a seamless system with the shooting line built in; Convert Integrated for an integrated system with interchangeable tips; or Convert Body & Tip with Cobra Shooting Line for maximum flexibility and control over depth and presentation.
