The R Salt features a supercharged 16-disc sealed drag system comprised of stainless steel and carbon fluoropolymer, producing nearly 30 pounds of drag pressure. Also the R Salt offers two smaller counterbalances on the spool; this innovative design reduces mass and creates perfect, vibration-free performance when line is being ripped off the spool on long runs.

This exceptional braking power is housed in a lightweight, yet incredibly strong frame and spool that is based on the Evolution R’s unique design. Easy on-the-fly adjustments with just the palm of your hand are possible thanks to The large, frame-integrated drag knob. The R Salt geometry is reinforced throughout, yielding an incredibly rugged, yet elegant reel that performs in the most challenging of environments.

The unique design comes together to create a fishing tool with a power-to-weight ratio never before seen in a saltwater fly reel, making the R Salt the best performing reel for the money compared to any on the market today.
