MIK 4,763 Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I have just bought the new Salmo Logic skyborn 13.1ft rod designed and developed by Henrik Mortensen the inventor of the Zspey rods Any one looking to buy a new salmon rod these really something special and I would highly recommend I have used pretty much everything on the market and these are up there with the best of them ....the lines are balanced to each rod and throw out some line with minimal effort Out tomorrow and all next week hopefully put a bend in it 5 Quote Link to post
IshotRogerRabbit 46 Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Tried the Zpey style rods while on Ballogie a couple of years ago. Once you get to grips with them the line really does fly with a short underhand cast. Really surprised that they didn't take off the way they should have.

MIK 4,763 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 First time out with the new rod and Managed to put a bend in the rod today a nice wee 6 pounder straight of the tide saw a few fresh fish come in ....lads I knew were fishing about 20 miles up stream and said the river was rising quick and was unfishable there must of been a fair bit rain on the hill .....4 hours later they were right it rose about 2ft in 30mins and was unfishable by just after lunch hopefully it drops over the wekend for next week and the rest of the fish waiting to enter come in with the smell of fresh water out at sea 11 Quote Link to post
