I own one of these. This is my first switch rod. I like it alot! I am using the Elixr 6/7 switch line. I whacked some of the tip off the line out of the box and have been throwing weighted leeches with 10' of T-14 quite handily. I put an indicator rig on for a while with the full 6/7 Elixr. That was a wicked combo! Good thing for the fish that I don't like to fish indicators much....
I matched the rod with a sweet old Hardy Zenith. Gary finishes his rods beautifully. I like to look at this setup resting on the rocks or leaning against a tree!
It is probably hard to go wrong with any of the switch rods on the market these days. However, it is really cool to own a rod designed and built by a real steelheader who lives on a good river in Oregon!
