The Dead River - SWITCH 10'6" & 11'

Our Premier Switch Rod.  Now made to order!

Inspired by one of earliest batches, first launched in March of 2019.  From 2 length options and various weights. Moderate action for incredible line control and all the versatility a Switch offers.

For many, switch rods have become the go-to rod for two-handed spey casting. Smaller and lighter than a traditional spey rod and easier to navigate through the trails to your local river. Switch rod fanatics boast of finishing the day with less fatigue and needing far less room to cast than their full size cousin the spey.

“I can’t say enough good things about my dead river; not only is it the most visually appealing rod I’ve ever had but handles like a dream. It has a delicate accuracy when throwing small dries with also enough “umpf” to easily cast my favorite dry dropper setups. I see why they call it one of their standard rods and has quickly become my go to.”

FAQ

What does this rod come with?

All our small batch graphite/carbon fiber rods come in a canvas rod sock. There are 2 rod tube options available at checkout to help protect your investment.

Will you fix my rod if it breaks?

Of course! It’s one of the greatest things that makes us different. We build every one of our rods in our shop here, so naturally we can fix any of them too. Let’s face it, as heartbreaking as it can be, fly rods break. We offer repair for any of our rods and prioritize those orders to ensure that we get you back out there asap. Rod section prices vary, so just give us a call should anything go wrong out there, and we’ll help make you whole again.

Can I get an extra tip for this rod?

Yes. We now offer the option to purchase a spare tip when purchasing a new Maine Fly Co rod for that piece of mind.
