Go two-handed when the mood strikes, then punch through the wind with an overhead cast when needs demand. Casting farther with less effort is something all anglers dream of, and we all love a rod that helps us bring that big brown to hand. The 11-foot 7-weight Clearwater Switch rod is ideal for chasing big trout on substantial water, and can carry the battle to summer and winter steelhead when the opportunity presents itself. Lightweight and comfortable to cast, this is the ideal all-around rod for the new two-handed angler.
Looking for a rod that can perform when teamed with traditional Spey lines but also shine with newer Scandinavian and Skagit set-ups? Powerful enough for large water yet nimble for smaller salmon and steelhead waters, the 8-weight Clearwater Switch rod can readily be under- or over-weighted with a variety of lines, allowing for versatility in a number of situations and conditions. The shorter 11-foot length allows for ease of casting in tight, challenging environments.
Simply put, fishing big water with big fly rods requires a lot of effort. Why not make it easier—and more affordable—for yourself? Orvis Clearwater Switch rods provide high-end performance at an excellent price, giving you the back-saving ease of two-handed casting with wallet-saving benefits.
