B&J Red Salmon Special Fly Line WF 8/9/10wt

B&J Red Salmon Special Fly Line WF 8/9/10wtF – Custom by RIO

Why You Need This

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.

What Makes It Special?

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.

Suggested Pairing

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.
