Vision Switch Hero Fly Rod
The experienced team of Vision Fly Fishing from Finland makes one thing clear: You don’t need to buy the most expensive rod to be a hero while fishing. In fact, Antti Guttorm and his Finnish colleagues prove this point with the Hero rod series. These affordable rods offer a very impressive performance that no one would have expected at this price.
The Switch Hero has a medium fast and well-balanced action, which is suitable for both beginners and experienced casters. It is based on a lightweight high-modulus blank made of Korean graphite. Despite its powerful casting properties, this sensitive rod provides great feedback while casting. This makes precise casts and successful presentations much easier. Further, this versatile rod is absolutely fantastic in combination with compact lines – for instance a light Skagit head or the Vision Hybrid Fly Line. Combined with an appropriate line, it is a great choice for targeting salmon and sea trout in smaller rivers and with relatively light tackle. In addition, it is absolutely fantastic for swinging streamers for large trout and other predators. Either way, the outstanding casting properties and the overall great feeling of this rod will make you smile. Last but not least, it has a very stylish appearance due to the high-quality components and the yellow highlights that complement the dark blank.
Summarized, the Vision Switch Hero is a truly intuitive rod. It allows a successful entry into the world of light double-handed fly fishing due to its outstanding performance – especially at this price. It will not only suit beginners, because also experienced fly fishermen will appreciate this lovely rod!
