Switch Rods
Switch rods bridge the gap between long powerful single handed rods and full on two handed rods and as such, they are a natural progression for many anglers coming from a singlehanded back ground into the world of proper two handed rods.
They can be used, with the appropriate line, either single or double handed, for both Spey and overhead casts.
These rods excel in situations where longer two handed salmon rods are simply too big and where long single handed rods are tiresome to use, especially when you need a bit of distance, or in windy conditions, they are also much easier to work with on small waters where big flies and heavy sink tips are required
Switch 11 foot 7 weight 360/380g but use heavy weight forward aftm lines
Better at the small water work to easily aerialise hort head switch or spey lines when they is too much vegetation behind you to overhead cast. Easier to use than a spey rod in many cases but get the right line. This rod recovers fast and casts tight loops
Switch 11 foot 8 weight 380g 400g but use heavy weight forward aftm lines
Use a heavy switch line at 400 grams to fully load this powerful rod. For people who like using a switch rod with short heads on bigger faster rods. fast stiff action with a progressive feel
