Description
The Beulah 10’8” 7wt Platinum Switch rod our quintessential summer steelhead Switch Fly rod. This fly rods deceptive lightness will have you thinking you are fishing a 9′ 5 wt until you load it up and fire a 80’ laser cast across the river with ease. The Beulah 10’8” 7 weight Platinum Switch rods flex pattern drastically departs from our new 5 and 6 weight Switch rods taking on a much deeper loading (slightly regressed) characteristic making this essentially a bit more of a short Spey rod with excellent nymphing and overhead casting ability. This rod shines as a Summer Steelhead rod and has a fast recovery making it formidable for inshore or in estuaries, salt water fishing.
The Platinum 7wt Switch rod is going to compliment a relaxed and compact casting stroke where less is definitely more. It is unbelievable how good this Switch rod can be with a matched Scandinavian or Skagit shooting head to cover all down and across presentations from dry lines and two fly slider systems or sink tips with weighted leeches. The Platinum Switch 7 weight has a slightly elongated fore and aft grips to balance out the longer 10’8” Switch length .
