Douglas Sky Series Switch Fly Rod

The multiple award-winning Sky Series is a modern fly rod in a class of its own. Strictly speaking, however, these are four different rod models that were developed for completely different areas of application - and therefore also differ in terms of action and equipment. The three classic single-handed models of the Sky Series are complemented by these beautiful Switch rods. They form an link to longer Spey or Skagit rods on the market and can be cast with one hand as well as relaxed with two hands. So you get full flexibility! With a length of 11.4 ft (3.47 m), the Sky Series Switch can be used universally and is an ideal choice for Trout fishing on larger rivers with the streamer and for fishing for Steelhead or Sea Trout. But also for Asp or other predators in the river we can highly recommend the Sky Series Switch. Even for lightweight Salmon fishing in smaller streams this rod is a fantastic choice!

As with the Sky Series single-handed models, the Switch uses the latest rod building technologies in its quest to achieve fly rod perfection. The blanks are wonderfully lightweight and cast beautifully with a variety of shooting heads over all distances. The rods offer excellent dampening in the drill and tremendous power. They allow almost effortless casts, impressive precision and last but not least offer extreme durability. The innovative top-of-the-line components of the Sky Series include: Fuji Torzite Titanium Stripping Guides, REC Titanium Rings, a Short Spey handle made of AAAA-Flor cork, a skeletonized aluminum reel seat and double uplocking rings to secure the fly reel. The Sky Series Switch spacer is made of anodized aluminum.

The matte platinum blank of the Sky Series is made of nano carbon and has impressed us especially by its enormous recovery speed. What we noticed particularly positively on the first casts is the combination of speed and sensitivity. In combination with a crisp, short shooting head, the Sky Series Switch can be effortlessly loaded very deep and allows all typical water born casts in the tightest of spaces. This allows for fatigue-free, very relaxed casting throughout the day. In short: A high-end switch rod made of ultra-light nano carbon with the best components that can be found in modern rod building.
