Guideline LPXe Switch Rods
There are loads of diffrent explanations, but the bottom line is that they are all rods with a configuration and length that make them versatile enough to fish either single-handed or double-handed.

Fast, lightweight and with a brand new extendable rear handle that will give you the best of both worlds. The short butt suits single-handed use, and when extended it will give you the added length needed for double-handed casting. The front handle is also designed and extended to fit both styles. These rods are great fun to cast and awsome to fish with when they are used in the right environment.

11ft 0in #7/8 4pce Switch : The line control and the casting ability of this rod have to be experienced. Its amazing lightness, crispness and balance makes fishing seriously fun. A 7/8wt Power Taper shooting head cut at 10 metres is the perfect match. Recommended head weight: 17-19 g.

11ft 0in #8/9 4pce Switch : Here is a powerful blank rigged up to suit both single and doublehanded fishing. A popular summer salmon rod in the rivers of Scandinavia but useful anywhere you find trophy fish in
medium-sized rivers. Fast-sinking lines? No problem.. Recommended head weight: 18-21 g.
