*1ArcticSilver's latest highlight, the Switch-Flex System (patent pending), offers top-tier flexibility. This innovative system allows fly rod blanks to be swapped within the same handle in just seconds. Whether you need to switch from a delicate 3-weight rod for precise casting to a heavy 10-weight rod for battling larger fish, the Switch-Flex System makes it possible with just a few simple steps. If you already own one of the Switch Flex Handles, you can take advantage of Arctic Silver's more affordable blanks and easily mount them into the Switch Flex Handle system.
The Switch-Flex handle is made from a high-quality carbon composite (40% carbon) for extreme strength and lightness, combined with marine-grade silicone for a secure grip and long-lasting durability, even in saltwater. The reel seat is crafted from lightweight 6061 aluminum and is Type 2 hard-anodized to withstand the harsh conditions of saltwater fishing. Even the fighting butt can be customized—inside the case that optimally protects the rod handle, you'll find three different end caps that can easily be screwed onto the reel seat. The ergonomic design of the handle system reduces wrist and tendon strain, enabling fatigue-free casting all day long. This is particularly beneficial when fishing with large streamers. Naturally, this design perfectly complements the advanced carbon blank. The blank combines groundbreaking stability with a very light weight, offering a medium-fast to fast action with relatively high recovery rates, giving the ArcticSilver BEAST ULTIMATE Single-Hand Fly Rod Medium-Fast Action #9 - 8.8 ft truly powerful casting capabilities. It can send even gigantic pike streamers to record distances, and you can genuinely feel its deep-flexing profile with a value just above 1/2. Lastly, the titanium guides with ceramic inserts and titanium snake guides ensure your fly line glides smoothly towards the horizon, thanks to minimal friction.
In short, this blank truly lives up to its name—this "ultimate beast" offers extremely powerful casting and fighting capabilities, thanks to its state-of-the-art graphene blank. The Ultimate Beast Single-Hand Fly Rod is an excellent choice for targeting predators in both freshwater and saltwater environments!

„One Handle for Multiple Rods? The brand-new, innovative Switch-Flex System from Arctic Silver makes this possible!

The lower handle end can be adapted to the specific type of fishing in no time. Not only economical and environmentally friendly, in our opinion, but also a real advantage for flexibility when fly fishing or traveling!

First of all, the Norwegian manufacturer ArcticSilver is known for a truly innovative range of fly rods. All of these rods have one unique feature in common: the so-called Free-Flex-System including the Quick-Lock reel seat. This patented design allows the blank to swing inside the handle, which creates outstanding casting and fish fighting properties. In fact, ArcticSilver offers many different models that are suitable for a variety of different fly fishing disciplines – whether casting delicate dry flies for trout or massive streamers for large predators. In addition, ArcticSilver also presents a large selection of modern fly lines that have a very thin diameter due to their so-called Micro Diameter (MD) design. This design allows record-breaking casting distances thanks to minimum friction in the rod guides and hardly any air resistance. In fact, these advantages are not only noticeable in combination with an ArcticSilver fly rod, but also with rods from other manufacturers.
