Following the outstanding success of our Prestige G-XS single handed fly rods, it was only a matter of time, before we extended the remarkable pedigree and phenomenally advanced Graphene technology, to a new range of Double-Handed and Saltwater fly rods.
Combining Nano Carbon technology, with the incredible properties of Graphene has proved sensational. We have added satin finished aluminium reel seats to the new rods, maintaining remarkable lightness to the ultra-modern designs, then anodised them for corrosion resistance, especially in saltwater. The modern designs of the cork handles are fashioned from the very finest quality, Super-grade North American cork available.
All butt extensions & lower handles are tipped with a rubber composite cork, for additional wear and protection. The Salmon Rods are all finished in a dark, lustrous Teal/Blue, with a combined self-colour and silver whip finish. There are two large lined Stripper rings and high-lift snake rings throughout with each section spot marked for a perfect line up. The 13ft & 14ft models also have whip markings to 110cm, to help quickly assess the weight and size of bigger fish without the need to remove them from the water.

10198 11’ #8 Double-Handed Switch Fly Rod – 5 pce
Designed for double handed use on lakes and rivers, this often referred to ‘Switch’ style rod, exhibits all the power reserves of the Prestige Graphene G-XS range. Still light enough to be cast single handed, as well as for purposely light double-handed use. Great on smaller rivers for large Trout, Sea-Trout and Grilse or from the boat. These rods are so light and versatile, you can use them for almost anything and they possess deceptive and responsive reserves of casting and fish playing power, typical of the entire Prestige G-XS range.

10200 14’ #9/10 Double-Handed Salmon Fly Rod – 6 pce
The daddy in the range, with the prototype having already accounted for fish over 20lbs in testing of the early samples, across the biggest and best rivers of Scotland. The power and recovery, as with all the Graphene rods is awesome, with the blank flexing all the way through the handle when required. Suitable for longer head traditional Spey lines, but purposely designed for the most modern of short-head Skagit and Shooting-head fly lines, to achieve maximum distance and extreme depth, with fast sinking tips and heavy flies where required.

These two great all-round light-weight Spey rods both have powerful, progressive actions, presenting a long line with effortless ease, agility and feel, yet light enough to remain responsive all day long. Match either with the respective traditional or short head profile Spey lines for a most impressive performance. Where room allows, overhead casting with a short head line, for the less experienced angler, is also permissible.

These modern day Switch lines are a little like a ‘compressed’ Spey line, with a short, heavy head (from 28-30ft) similar to a shooting head profile, but in the popular ‘Skagit’ style. Perfect for use when salmon fishing with the preferred lighter and shorter rods of today. The difference is the bulk of the weight is at the back of the head, providing power to create tight D-loops and truly effortless distance, coupled with great presentation.
A long shallow front taper provides a smooth energy transfer for controlled, accurate presentation. Switch lines are ideally fished with a short Snowbee Poly-Coated Leader, helping fish different depths as conditions dictate. A short, steep rear taper compresses weight into the head, where it’s needed and connects smoothly to a fine diameter, continuous running line for minimum friction and maximum shootability.
