The Beulah Switch Rods are constructed of IM8 graphite using bias ply roll up for maximum strength and lightness. The Beulah Switch rod is a series of fast action 10'6" rods that will be sold in the following sizes.4/5, 5/6 wt, 6/7 wt, 7/8 wt, 8/9wt and 9/10,10/11 wt. Because of their size and relative lightness, the Switch Rod has unlimited potential in a variety of casting and fishing applications. The Switch Rod allows an angler to cast with double haul, spey cast, roll cast, and two handed cast. The two handed cast is basically bringing the line back with a back cast and swinging the rod overhead with two hands, allowing the line to shoot forward. The first two hand overhead cast with the 9/10 shot the line 125 feet with power in reserve. This cast is easy to master and opens new opportunity coastal, stream and lake fishing. The Switch rods have been tested for a year and have performed well beyond expectations. Custom rods and blanks are now available; see Beulah Switch rods in retail shops in April.  For more flyrod info, click here.
