Renowned two-handed experts Mike Kinney and Bob Meiser have combined their rod design expertise to create the Deer Creek Switch rod series.

Switch rods are multi-task fly rods specifically designed to allow a variety of both single and two-handed caster options. The primary goal of the Switch rod is to allow the caster the ability to achieve maximum targeted forward distance with the least amount of expended energy.

Bob Meiser has been in the forefront of popularizing and refining blank designs for the switch rod concept of fly rods since the mid 1990s. His expertise with this unique family of rods is well established within the two-handed rod community. Bob’s concept has been universally accepted over the past decade. Teaming with Mike Kinney in design and application for these rods has taken the concept to the next level. We have used our proprietary Axiom material lay-up process for these blanks. These are extremely lightweight, durable, thoughtfully designed fly rods with superb performance… Best defined simply as “Totally efficient delivery tools.”

Rods include a case.

RPM – ROD PERFORMANCE MATRIX
This formula will help you select the right rod for exactly how and where you’re fishing.

We have a rod to handle virtually every fishing scenario. Our Rod Performance Matrix helps you easily select the rod most suitable for the kind of fishing you’re doing, by numerically charting each of the three key elements our rods are designed around: Presentation, Distance and Lifting.

Presentation is the accuracy and manner in which the fly and leader land in the water.
Distance, as you probably guessed, signifies how far you can deliver the fly.
Lifting indicates the rod’s primary function in the fish-fighting phase, lifting power.
