Wild Water Fly Fishing 8/9 Weight 11 Foot 4 Piece "River Run Series" Switch Rod

by Wild Water Fly Fishing

Product Features

• Wild Water's 11 Foot Switch Rod
• The blank is finished in a dark brown. The ferrules are extra reinforced and the tip top and stripper guides have silicon carbide rings. The tip top has bars to help prevent tip breakage if you are wrapped when a fish takes your fly.
• This rod is a must-have for Great Lakes Salmon and Steelhead. It is the right size for fishing the larger tributaries for the big salmon and steelhead in the fall.

Product Description

Wild Water's new 4 piece Switch rods. This is a redesigned version of the popular River Run two piece single handed rods. The blank has been changed to four pieces to make traveling with the rod much easier. The foregrip and extension butt have been lengthened slightly to accommodate two handed casting. The stripper guides arrangement has been improved by adding a third, larger stripper. The blank taper is redesigned so the four piece design maintains the same comfortable, in-control, power feeling as the original 2 piece River Run rod. The reel seat slide ring has been changed to provide a firmer lock on the reel foot with less tightening required. The reel seat is anodized in a Gunsmoke color and is in a Downlocking configuration. Rod Specifications: Line Weight: 8 or 9; Rod Length: 11 Feet; Number of Sections: 4; Rod Case Length: 38 Inches; Flex: Mid; Rod Action: Medium-Fast; Rod Material: IM8; Rod Weight: 6.6 ounces; Grip: Switch; Rod Blank Color: Dark Brown; Winding Color: Dark Brown

This review is from: Wild Water Fly Fishing 8/9 Weight 11 Foot 4 Piece "River Run Series" Switch Rod (Misc.)

I've been catching lots of steelhead and browns with this rod for two years. Balances well with a 375 grain skagit line. I recently had a minor issue with the butt section and Wildwater resolved it in nanoseconds! Unbelievable customer service which you wouldn't expect on such a heavily discounted item. I'll buy more.
