Aprašymas

The concept and the description of switch rods was first introduced in 2008 when I designed and developed the first switch rod ever. The purpose and the idea of a switch rods was clear… to design and develop a rod that could be used both as a single hand rod and as a double hand rod when needed – and a rod you can switch to either hand, depending on which side of the river you are on. Why I decided back then to name this rod/concept “A true switch rod” was because you could use this rod, not only as a single hand rod or double hand rod, but you could also easily “switch” the rod over to the left hand (if you were right-handed) and thereby have the line/loop traveling on the opposite side. In this way, it did not matter if you were on the right bank or the left bank, or if the wind was on your casting arm.

Therefore, I can proudly state that I invented the original switch rod and the switch rod concept, despite what others in the business may claim. Since 2008, I have continued to improve on this concept, and it has been a great success for salmologic.

The Reborn 11’0” 18 grams/278 grains rod is yet another great switch rod from us. For the last 3 years, we have worked intensively to improve what was possible, yet keep the original switch rod concept intact. By using our 2024 graphene+ adaptation, we have created a new switch rod with a very deep action and a stronger top that will stay up when all the energy is being unloaded. With this upgrade, loading the rod and directing the cast has never been easier.

If you are considering a light rod for salmon- and sea run brown trout fishing, and want a real switch rod, you need look no further.

Specifikacija

In 2004, I developed the first 6-piece double hand rod ever made for salmon fly fishing. The idea behind this rod was to be able to “mix” different carbons together and not just to make a travel rod, as many thought back then (and still do today). The only way to add/mix more different carbon types together in one rod blank, is by adding more pieces of different carbon types to one blank. This was the sole reason why I decided to develop the first ever 6-piece double hand rod for the fly fishing market 20 years ago.

This rod, a 13’3” 28 grams/432 grains, turned out to be exceptionally outstanding, almost legendary. It has been just that every time I have made an upgrade of this unique blank/action, over the last 20 years. Ten years have passed since I made the last upgrade with this concept in mind, and have therefore decided to bring it back again, upgraded with the improved technology and materials available.

With the action in this rod, there is almost no effort involved in lifting the line from the water to present a very long cast.If offers you almost a “sixth sense” feel of the line and a more instinctive understanding of when to apply just enough power to present the fly in the exact spot you’re aiming for, whether that is at a shorter or longer distance.

Our graphene+ approach does make an exceptional difference in what can be done when it comes to stepping up this game.

I have no doubt that this 6-piece rod will continue to be legendary and a “must have”, especially for many who may already own a 13’3” 6-piece rod of my design. To describe this rod best: It’s mind-blowing! And yeah, it will be ideal for traveling as well – even though that has never been the intention for this truly magical wand.

Warning: If you do not want or need another rod, then do not try this one.
