Shimano Biocraft XR Fly Switch Fly Rod

The Biocraft XR series includes the undisputed top models among the fly rods from Shimano. This includes the Biocraft XR Fly Switch - a fantastic lightweight two-handed rod for fishing for salmon, sea trout and Co. in rivers. Like the entire XR series, the Switch has an excellent price-performance ratio and great performance, so it can easily compete with much more expensive rods.

This modern rod has a Biofibre blank that incorporates the best Shimano technologies. It is made of a Nano carbon sheet which is connected to the organic Biofibres via the innovative HPC (High Pressure Carbon) technology. This complex manufacturing process minimizes imperfections which makes the blank extremely resilient. In addition, the so-called Diaflash technology provides a direct power transmission while casting and fighting fish. Therefore, this rod combines lightness with an impressive power reserve, which allows you to fight large fish. Further, due to its wonderful medium-fast action, it is a real pleasure to cast.

This modern rod has a lightweight Biofibre blank, which is equipped with the best technologies of the house Shimano. It consists of a nano-carbon mat that is bonded to the organic Biofibre fibers using innovative HPC (High Pressure Carbon) technology. This complex manufacturing process minimizes potential weak points, which gives the blank extreme resilience. In addition, it features the so-called Diaflash construction method, which ensures excellent power transmission in casting and in the drill. Thus, this rod inspires with a fantastic ratio of lightness and power, which gives it the necessary power reserves for the drill of capital fish. At the same time, it is a real pleasure to cast with its medium-fast action. In addition, its high-quality components are perfectly matched to the particular model. Their guides consist of lightweight and robust Fuji SIC K-Type guide rings and Seaguide XSFG-L insert rings. In addition, the reliable Seaguide RFS reel seat keeps your reel securely in place - even when the going gets tough.

The Biocraft XR Fly Switch is ideal for fishing for salmon and sea trout in small to medium-sized rivers. The balanced action of the rod allows for long and precise casts and the blank has a strong backbone for safe landing of the dream fish. The rod is more than just an entry-level rod for two-handed fishing. The great performance and fantastic price-performance ratio ensure that the rod can easily compete with much more expensive models. Perfect for all fly fishermen who pay attention to the price, but do not want to make sacrifices in performance.

Details:

• Modern switch rod with an outstanding value for money for salmon, seatrout and other species
• Balanced action and strong backbone to ensure precise casts and safe landing
• Lightweight Biofibre blank with the best Shimano technologies
• Nano Sheet technology: A significantly stronger and lighter blank made of a Nano carbon sheet with a special weave. This structure makes it possible to use a low amount of resin which is spread into very small nano particles throughout the sheet. This creates an impressive combination of lightness, strength and responsiveness.
• Innovative HPC (High Pressure Carbon) technology: This is a process which creates stronger, more responsive blanks. High pressure is applied to the blank surface during curing (heating) which evenly distributes the resin through the carbon fibre matrix. This process creates a much stronger, more consistent blank without imperfections.
• Diaflash technology: a proven way of constructing a rod that provides a direct power transmission while casting and fighting fish
• High-quality Fuji SIC stripping guides and Seaguide single leg guides for minimum friction and high line speeds
• Reliable Seaguide reel seat with a modern design
• Ergonomically shaped half-wells handle made of high-quality cork
• Supplied with a nice velvet rod sock and a rod tube
