Vision Switch Double Handed Fly Rod

Don’t laugh before you try one. These rods are here to stay. They are extremely versatile, no matter if you fish on rivers or at the sea. With Switch rods you have the benefits of casting as with a double hand rod but can work the fly like a single hand rod, a real benefit in many fishing situations. These rods with modern shooting heads give you an opportunity to fish certain places much more efficiently compared with fishing them with long double hand rods or normal single handed rods. Can you imagine yourself wading deep, in a steep canyon with overhanging trees behind you and trying to launch a cast of 30 metres? Of course it’s possible with other types of rods too, but with Switch rods you can make it so much easier! These rods are getting more and more popular in coastal fishing too and they are really handy on bigger trout rivers.

With Switch & Salt there are two models which are designed mainly with saltwater boat fishing in mind. These rods offer huge lifting power so you will be able to pump huge tuna up to the surface with ease. The rods from #6 to #8 have nice wood insert reel seats and their other components are also chosen with river fishing in mind whereas the #10 and #12 a have full aluminium reel seat, a slightly differently shaped handle and other components suiting heavy saltwater fishing.
