I think I will get a small Switch rod for this fall's Half-pounder Steelhead run in September/October.
Maybe a 10'6" - 11' #6 in 4 piece?
I have a nice old SA System #9 reel (Hardy Marque) that should be fun on it.
I fish early and late in the day with smaller (#8-14) flies so a full floating line will be OK for me.
I was casting some Switch rods on the Lower Klamath earlier this week and they are so light and fun to fish with.
'Switch' rods are mostly just small two-handed rods that can also be cast single handed.
'Switch' rods have a shorter handle system than a Spey rod and are usually 10'6" to 11' long. They come in sizes #3 to #9 line.
They becoming very popular............
We carry Anderson, Beulah, Sage, Scott and TFO 'Switch' rods. We will be getting more in too. They start at just over $300usd.
