Fly Fishing Tackle Review: The Snowbee Prestige Switch Rod

By Adam Bill


There isn't one thing that I love more than simply assembling my fly fishing tackle and going to a chilly, quick cascading stream. From year to year, I have amassed a sizeable collection of equipment, still in my total scheme for efficient fly fishing, every piece has a its own position and a reason for being there. Regardless of whether it is a rod, reel, or accessory, I have been really careful to assure that all new procurements that I make are affordable as well as very serviceable. Because of this, I generally go for the leading brand name, instead of the slighter known ones. For me, the best brand name is Snowbee, and I have excellent reasons why. Read further to discover additional information on one of my best rods, the Snowbee Prestige switch rod.



Fly Fishing Tackle: About Switch Rods



To inform those who aren't aware of what a switch rod is, it's a fusion of a regular single-handed rod and a longer spey rod. This is to say that a fisherman is able to cast overhead as well as spey style, utilising the very same rod. Switch rods are recognized for being very strong, so that fishermen can cast long distances devoid of the length and additional weight of a specific spey rod. In my opinion, I'm just an average fisherman, but I can cast 100 feet and above with regularity. In addition, to me, switch rods are extremely easy to grasp, causing only a little strain on the wrist or shoulder area. Ultimately, switch rods are excellent pieces of fly fishing tackle since they let me cast precisely in confined areas.



Fly Fishing Tackle: Reasons to Choose the Snowbee Prestige Switch Rod



I have learned through using them, that less weighty switch rods -- #5 and #6 - let me cast using one or both hands, and I like the adaptability. It generally takes both hands to use the heavier rods like #7 and #8. Being that I have used all four of them to fish with, my favourite is the #6 Snowbee Prestige switch rod. I think that spey casting with this rod is extremely trouble-free, successful, and precise. The same as other such rods of its classification, the Snowbee Prestige switch rod should be combined with specific fly lines to optimise its success, functionality, and flexibility. Therefore, to achieve maximum results, It's my opinion that you should combine this rod with the Snowbee fly lines that are uniquely matched with switch rods. For the utmost in functionality, make sure that you utilise a Snowbee poly-coated leader too.

I've found this rod to be great for almost any fly fishing site. Also, it works really well with just about any angler's fishing approach. In addition, if you are going to apply switch line along with this rod, you should pair it with the exact size reel such as the Snowbee Geo 790 or Geo 910. The rod contains a long-lasting, cotton drill bag, plus a strong, square Cordura-covering rod tube. The tube comes with a resourceful carry handle and a changeable shoulder strap.
