The term switch is here to stay. There are loads of different explanations but the bottom line is that they all are rods with a configuration and length that make them versatile enough to fish either single-handed or double-handed. Guideline have offered 11ft rods in both LeCie and LPXe for years now with the extended butt and longer front handle, to make them suitable to cast with two hands. These new rods are based on the same actions as the LPXe 11-footers. Fast, lightweight and with a brand new extendable rear handle that will give you the of both worlds. The short butt suits single-handed use and when extended. it will give you the added length needed for double handed casting. The front handle also is designed and extended to fit both styles. These rods are great fun to cast and awesome to fish with when they are used in the right environment.

LPXe Switch 11' | #7/8 The line control and the casting ability of this rod have to be experienced. Its amazing lightness, crispness and balance makes fishing seriously fun. A 7/8wt POWER TAPER shooting head cut at 10 metres is the perfect match. Recommended head weight: 17-19 g.
