Snowbee 5 Piece Spectre Switch Rod - 11ft - #8

Snowbee 5 Piece Spectre Switch Rod - 11ft - #8. The big brother of the #7wt. Designed for medium to larger rivers and bigger target fish and flies, where a step-up in line weight is required and allows extra distance even in a stiff breeze. An ideal rod for sea-trout and salmon, particularly in heavily tree-lined areas, where use of longer traditional Spey rods would prove difficult. Works perfectly with our 400 grain Switch line, or the 24g Scandinavian Spey line, where the slightly longer heads offer more versatility. A short poly-coated leader is often applied, providing even greater fl y control in a wide variety of situations. 

Following on from the success of the Spectre Spey rod range, it was inevitable that there would follow a Spey & Switch range to replace the old Diamond² models. Sharing the same pedigree as the previous models but with new lighter, crisper blanks for even better casting performance. For convenience when travelling, the Salmon Spey rods all feature 6-pce blanks, while the Switch rods feature 5-pce blanks, so all models pack down to between 28” and 32”. In the past, our Spey and Switch rods have found favour amongst salmon fishers worldwide, looking for top performance, a quality finish, total reliability and value for money… and the new Spectre® fly rods will be no exception.

With stated Optimum Head Weights (OHW) in grams and grains, these reflect the ideal loading weight of the rod... or ‘Sweet Spot’ when the weight forward line head is fully extended from the rod tip. For a perfectly balanced outfit, match the Spectre Spey to a specific head weight from our range of Snowbee 3-D Spey and Scandinavian Spey lines.
