i have used mine on the delaware for smallies, stripers, walleyes and catfish. Oh and tiger trout above new hope...at the time I had only my 14 ft. 10wt. but the switch rods would be perfect for the river.. with the juvy shad runnin down and the zebra caddis #10 hatching a long cast is just right 60-90foot. I use my switch on pine.
