This isn’t just another fly line—it’s the fly line for chasing sockeye salmon in Alaska. Developed in partnership with RIO Products and tailored to B&J’s exacting specs, the B&J Red Salmon Special is custom-built for combat fishing the Russian and Kenai Rivers. With a high-floating profile and beefy front taper, this line delivers excellent turnover, precise drifts, and quick hooksets on aggressive reds in fast water.
This is a true "Shop Special" collaboration—built with a short, powerful head that loads fast and punches through wind with ease. Whether you're flossing from shore or swinging from a drift boat, this line offers the backbone and sensitivity you need when the river is shoulder-to-shoulder and the fish are hot.
We recommend matching this line with our B&J Russian River Meat Stick fly rods in 8wt or 10wt sizes. It’s the combo Alaskans trust when the reds are in.
This line was designed by Alaskans, for Alaskans. It’s the result of decades of fish stories, broken gear, and dialed-in setups—all wrapped into one purpose-built line.
