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.

Fantastic reel
This is a very lightweight reel with a great drag. It takes a second to get used to the big drag wheel, but it is very easy to use and change. Several other people fished this reel on a recent trip and and raved about it. You will not be disappointed!
My favorite saltwater reel
This was my third Evo Salt R. Super strong drag and excellent customer service from Ross keep me coming back. This reel won’t disappoint with a stronger drag than the Hatch Iconic, and beautiful machining. Make sure you’re okay with the drag knob before purchasing.
