Sage TCX Switch Rods
This is the cruse missile of Switch Rods. It seems to pack the most energy into a fly rod out of all the switch rods we sell. That doesn't make it tough to cast, it just makes it a bit more expensive. We sell these rods to anglers that have tried less expensive rods and are looking to step up there performance without having to cast a heavier rod weight or something that posesses the finesse of a telephone pole. The Sage TCX Switch Rod is the benchmark of quality and has a crisp lightweight feel with an enormous amount of energy.
Sage’s TCX series redefines the extreme distance category in rods. This series of rods are lightweight, strong and powerful. The enhanced line feel and feedback mean intuitively better timing and an extraordinary level of casting ease for ultra-high performance fly rods.
Fly Line Buyer's Guide for Switch Rods
Anglers that plan to fish exclusively with strike indicators or strictly floating lines should get the
Rio Switch fly line. This line has a long belly and is capable of spey casting with a strike indicator setup and mends very well. The
Rio Scandi Short is great for anglers that want to throw both sink tips and floating lines.
The Rio Switch
line will spey cast an indicator setup but does not cast and shoot sink
tips effectively. If you plan to fish almost exclusively big heavy
weighted flies you can opt for a Skagit Short fly line, but that is the
least popular line for switch rods. Most anglers prefer the
Rio Scandi Short Versitip. The other line that we sell a lot of is the
Royal Wulff Ambush Fly Line
this is a one piece line (no loop to loop where the running line and
head meet). We recommend buying 2 line weights heavier than your switch
rod, i.e. a 7 weight switch rod takes an Ambush 9 weight fly line. It
is a short head and quite similar to the
Rio Scandi Short Versitip but does not come with any sink tips. The
Wulff Ambush Fly Line
will indicator fish or swing sinking lines called Rio Power
Versileaders. All these lines are good choices, the most popular choice
is the
Rio Scandi Short Versitip,
