Guys (Gals)-
I am looking for a dedicated streamer (trout) / bass fishing fly rod for larger streamers. I was thinking of a 7wt, 9ft. I visited a shop today and the boss took me out back and started casting a switch rod. He swore by them.
I have never seen someone throw such distance so easily. He was pounding out over 100 foot cast effortlessly. That was really cool.
I cast the rod, and I can see that it would be really fun to learn the techniques. But I am not sure that the rod would serve my main purpose.
I want to float rivers, like the D, and pound the banks with streamers. I also want to fish ponds and streams from my Kayak for bass, and other warm water species.
Distance casting does not seem as important as accuracy. Anyone use one of these rods on a regular basis, and like it???
