Switch Rods are a big part of a steelheader’s arsenal on the Salmon River for indicator fishing and swinging flies. While most try to do both with one line, its been pretty tough to cast a indicator rig and then cast a sink tip and heavy tip and a decent size fly with one line. Rio came out with the solution, “Switch Chucker”. The 7 weight line weighs in at 465 gr, the head is 25′ followed by a 14′ handling section then 61′ running line. I have it set up on a two TFO 7110-4 with Ross CLA 5′s and it will throw a indicator and shot 60′+ with ease. Then you can loop on a 10′ section of T-8 and it cast’s 60′- 70′. The perfect line for the switch rod owner who likes to do both.
