TFO Deer Creek Switch Rods have historically been our best selling switch rods at Red's.  They are fantastic rods, tough, and launch an incredible amount of line.  This rod, reel, and line is everything you need to get started in Spey or Switch fishing.  It will come completely setup with backing, fly line, sink tips, and is RIVER READY when it gets to your doorstep!  Originally, we paired the 7110-4 Deer Creek Switch with either a Wulff Ambush line or a Rio AFS fly line as they seemed to be a good line for "all around " use providing anglers with a line that would both spey swing and indicator nymph well.  Recently, Rio products introduced a new line called a Rio Scandi Short that casts like a dream on this rod!  Now we set it up with this line. 

What about the Echo SR Switch Rod?

There is one other switch rod to consider.  Recently a few of our staff members purchased the Echo SR Switch Rod and we have been very impressed. We sell the Echo Switch Rod Package paired up with a Lamson Konic Fly Reel and a Rio Scandi Short Fly Line in a complete package.

Other Fly Lines and Rod Weights for the TFO Deer Creek Switch Rod Combo:

If you would like to substitute another rod weight rather than a 7 weight, no problem, just let us know in the order comments upon checkout.  The 7 weight is by far the most popular.  If you plan to fish almost exclusively with large weighted flies and heavy sink tips, let us know and we'll substitute a Skagit style line for you (better for casting big stuff).  We are also happy to substitute a Rio Switch line or Wulff Ambush if you would like.  Our preference is the Rio Steelhead Scandi Short, it is a great all around fly line for the Deer Creek Switch Rod.  Just let us know what hand retrieve you would like on your reel upon checkout and we'll get this spooled up and in the mail.

TFO and Ross Reel Warranty

Lifetime warranty on both the rod and the reel.  If you break the rod a repair fee will apply and the customer can send it directly into TFO for fast service.  Ross Reels is located in Colorado, and in the event (RARE!) that anyone ever has a problem their repair team will get you fixed up in a hurry.

Switch Rod Uses and Species

We have used switch rods for almost everything.  Steelhead, Silver Salmon, Chums, Sockeye, Pinks, large trout, Stripers, and other species in the 5-20 pound range.  The most popular species is by far steelhead and this is what made switch rods famous.  They can cast sink tips with spey casts, or you can set up a strike indicator and dead drift flies as well on the same rod.  Since it will cast like a spey rod or a single had fly rod it can make the transition into 2 handed casting fairly seamless.

Other thoughts on Using and Casting Switch Rods:

One of the hardest things about buying a Switch Rod or Spey Rod is trying to sort through all the choices on rods without making a mistake, after that, then the line and reel selection begins.  We want to make this process as fun and easy for you as possible by narrowing the choices to our best selling Switch Rod Combo. 

The TFO Deer Creek Switch rod in an 11' 7 weight is our most versatile and best selling Switch Rod.  A number of guides on our staff use this rod for Steelhead on both mid sized and large streams.  Combine it with a Ross CLA #5 (there is no reel that gives you this much bang for the buck that is capable of taming salty Steelhead, Salmon, or you can even take it to the flats and it does fine with Permit, Bonefish, etc.)  When it comes to line selection, the choices are many but we have found that the Rio Scandi Short Spey Line to be the best all around line for both Swinging flies and using this rod to cast a strike indicator and a nymph setup. 

Bob Meiser has been in the forefront of popularizing and refining blank designs for the Switch Rod concept of fly rods since the mid 1990s. His expertise with this unique family of rods is well established within the two handed rod community. Bob’s original concept has been universally accepted over the past decade and teaming with Mike Kinney in design and application for these rods has now taken the concept to the next higher level. We have used our proprietary Axiom material lay-up process for these blanks. These are extremely light weight, durable, thoughtfully designed fly rods with superb performance … Best defined simply as: “Totally efficient delivery tools.”

Good set up and easy to use May 3, 2011
Reviewer: Tim C. from Richland, WA  
I bought this because it was all set up and I didn't have to make a lot of decisions.  What line to use?  what tip? what rod? what grain weight?
