It is a great choice for rivers where big fish swim and where you need large flies, heavier lines and fast sinking tips to catch them.

 

Detailed information

Product detailed description

Two 4-piece Switch rods designed and rated with US Switch weight standards in mind. This means they should be loaded with the same weights as normally used on Scandinavian Double hand rods. Stoked Switch rods are well-balanced, easy-to-cast and have medium fast actions with a forgiving curve that absorbs beginner errors in the casting stroke. The action is well suited for both Scandi- and Skagit style casting and has a tolerance for a large weight-span in lines to accommodate preferences for both styles.

The length of these rods makes them easy to manage and possible to use as a single hander if you feel the need for that in special situations. They are very well suited for fishing in small- to medium-sized rivers. Because of the line rating, these are powerful rods that manage wind, rather large and heavy flies, as well as a great variety of line types and densities without worries. Both models feature up-locking reel seats and have carefully designed grips with a 265 mm foregrip and 90 mm rear grip. Like all other Stoked models, these also will feature new and further updated Eco-friendly components.

HIGHLIGHTS 

  • rated with US Switch weight standards in mind
  • medium fast actions with a forgiving curve that absorbs beginner errors in the casting stroke
  • blanks are painted in a translucent olive/green color with a hint of metallic flakes
  • cork handles have no rubber cork reinforcements. This reduces the levels of epoxy-resins needed in the grips
  • for the coatings on blank, guides, and the mounting glue for grips and reel seat, we use a low-toxic Epoxy, tested and approved with extremely low levels of regulated chemicals. This also adds to a better working atmosphere in the assembly phase of production, reducing health hazardous odors to a minimum
  • rods are mounted with eco-friendly PVD coated guides in a gun smoke finish
  • delivered in a rod bag and a recyclable PP- (Polypropylene) tube with rod tube covers made of recycled REPREVE™ polyester. The rod tubes are lighter and have 20% lower diameters than standard PVC tubes. This will save space and money when rods are transported both from the factory and by the user
  • all rods are 4-piece
