Balanced egg sucking leeches anyone?
>>2233366A switch rod is fucky, it's the fly fishing equivalent of a bastard sword or hand and a half. For trout spey there's a variant of a switch rod called a micro spey which are 3 and 4 weight switch rods (about equivalent to a 5 or 6 weight single hander, respectively)
A spey rod is usually 12-15 feet long, and single hand rods seldom exceed 10 feet. A switch rod, as the name implies, splits the difference and is usually 10-12 feet long, and is usually more effective with shorter Skagit lines due to the shorter length. They usually favour two handed casting but can be used for single hand casting due to their shorter length. Echo makes a rod that I would consider a switch rod that favours the other way around. I think its called the ohs for one handed spey? Either way it's 10 feet long and has interchangeable fighting butts to switch between single hand and two hand casting.
This is probably not the best explanation but I'm phone posting on lunch break so it'll have to do for now
