Re: Switch Rod?

Hi Guys: Gordon is absolutly right The switch cast preceeded the spey cast. It is realy just a lift followed by a roll which redirects the line from hangdown to across stream.In fact the famous Goren Anderson Scandinavian spey cast starts with a switch and then is followed by a d loop and forward cast. Since Goran uses a 39 foot head and a running lie he achieves the same distance as a single spey cast
