Q: What are spey and switch rods used for?
A: Spey and switch rods are designed for two-handed casting techniques that excel on larger rivers and when swinging flies for salmon, steelhead, and trout. They allow for powerful, efficient casts with minimal backcast room, making them ideal for tight quarters and long-distance presentations.

Q: What’s the difference between a spey rod and a switch rod?
A: A spey rod is a true two-handed rod, typically 12–15 feet long, built for spey casting longer distances. A switch rod is shorter (10–11 feet) and can be cast either single- or double-handed, offering versatility for both indicator fishing and swinging flies, with that said, most anglers will find them too heavy to efficiently cast singe handed and so we prefer to think of them as spey rods.

Q: What line should I use with a spey or switch rod?
A: These rods require specialized line systems such as Scandi, Skagit, or Spey lines. Skagit heads are great for casting heavy sink tips and large flies, while Scandi lines excel at delicate presentations with smaller flies. Matching the right line and grain weight to your rod ensures peak performance.

Q: Which brands of spey and switch rods do you carry?
A: Drift Outfitters carries leading brands like Sage, Echo, Redington, G. Loomis, and more, known for their innovation and balance in two-handed rod design. Our team can help you choose the right setup for your local rivers and target species.

Q: Are spey and switch rods difficult to learn?
A: Not at all — while the casting techniques are unique, most anglers pick them up quickly with a bit of practice. Many find two-handed casting less fatiguing and more efficient, especially when covering big water. Drift Outfitters also offers expert advice to help you get started.

Q: How do I care for my spey or switch rod?
A: Rinse your rod after use, especially in saltwater or gritty environments. Dry it completely before storing it in its tube, keep ferrules clean, and inspect reel seats and guides regularly for wear. Proper care will extend the life and performance of your rod.
