The Switch rod is a classic, easy action, enabling you to switch from double handed to single handed fishing, with comfort and grace, in a heartbeat. The Switch handle will allow you to fish for salmon and sea trout, whenever circumstances dictate. This delightful rod provides you with more controllability and will not tire you at the wrist. You can fish all day, switching from double handed to single handed, as you wish.
The Switch rod is made by us, using our own recipe of a mix of two of the highest quality carbons available, providing a slim blank. The cork handle measures 19” overall: the rear cork is approximately 4¾” and the front cork is approximately 10¾”. Each end cork is trimmed with reinforced composite cork. There is a silver collar (winding check) at the top of the front cork. The rod is fitted with a downlocking, clear anodised top quality aluminium reel fitting in silver.
The new Switch rod is painted in our new shade of British Racing Green, complemented with dark green whippings. There is a touch of class in the silver, double-tipping at the ends of joints and around the name of the rod near the cork handle. The Switch rod is resplendent in our superior quality, handmade Bruce & Walker rod bags in green to match the rod.
