The saltwater Grand Slam – landing a bonefish, tarpon, and permit across one singularly heroic, hectic day – is the ultimate test of guide-angler communication, spot-on shots, and flawlessly performing gear. A dialed tarpon rod, rigged and ready, your trusty permit stick cleared for takeoff, and a go-to bonefish setup that brings an intuitive feel to every opportunity are the driving forces behind the SALT R8 GRAND SLAM EDITION rod series. What’s more, these limited-edition rods, featuring midnight-blue blanks paired with reel seats engraved with custom artwork by renowned creative Bre Drake, bring an unmatched aesthetic to the Grand Slam game – while staying true to the performance-tuned qualities that make SALT R8 the finest saltwater rods to ever grace the flats. That finesse-making alchemy comes together in the ability to deliver feel for fine touch shots and accurate presentations. And it stems from years of working directly with experienced saltwater guides to find the right profile and fiber alignment that delivered strength, fine touch presentation, and a more intuitive sweet spot to a class of rods that have long held a reputation as unwieldy, unforgiving, and difficult. With the SALT R8 GRAND SLAM EDITION, gone are the days of sacrificing the feel and touch in your saltwater rod.
