Salty Dog | LW7 | 10′

Description

The Salty One   |   New for 2020

Over the past two years RF Fishing has taken what we learned from feedback and testing of our Brute range to heart, in December of 2018 we had our final idea for the next evolution of our salt water fly rods. we are proud to announce the 2020 Salty Dog range of fly rods, built to offer superior performance, accuracy and loading these rods are the next generational leap.

 

The Build

Looking at the physical build we went searching for a robust salt water proof set of guides and components, FUJI came to the party with their incredible Alconite Guides that are light stronger and more durable. A fully machined gloss black double up-locking anodized aluminium reel seat matches beautifully with our reduced diameter AAA grade cork handle, and is salt water safe.  Most fly rods built on a larger capacity have extra build up of resin around the rod wraps and decals, in an effort to minimize weight and increase responsiveness we worked closely with our manufacturer to create wraps that are smooth, clean and ultra low profile. The rod decal wrap for example is almost unnoticeable.

 

The Blank Technology

Utilizing a new 8 layer design with vertical, horizontal and diagonal wrapping and through the 40T and 30T (IM10 grade) carbon fiber we have created a slim but incredibly powerful and responsive blank that shoots lines farther and with pin point accuracy. This new technology has proven to increase casting distance by up to 27% over our previous generation of rods while being lighter in hand physically. 40T SK carbon offers rigidity, speed and power, while the 30T adds flexibility and strength to the blanks action. Welding these two carbons together through the 8 layer lattice is what gives the SaltyDog a familiar easy to use fast action, but when pushed hard pushes back to give you the performance you need to shoot heavy large salt water flies.
