*1ArcticSilver's latest highlight, the Switch-Flex System (patent pending), offers top-notch flexibility. This innovative system allows you to swap fly rod blanks within the same handle in a matter of seconds. Whether you need to switch from a fine #3 rod for precise casts to a heavy #10 rod for battling larger fish, the Switch-Flex System makes it possible with just a few quick adjustments. Those who already own a Switch Flex handle can benefit from Arctic Silver’s more affordable blanks, which can be easily mounted onto the Switch Flex handle system.
The ArcticSilver BEAST ULTIMATE single-handed fly rod blank Medium-Fast-Action #9 - 8.8 ft is the extremely popular Ultimate Beast blank from Arctic Silver's well-known namesake fly rod series. This blank loads deeply and powerfully, effortlessly sending even the largest flies over great distances. With the Ultimate Beast blank, you get impressive performance with cutting-edge materials such as graphene. This unique rod is specifically designed for fishing with large flies targeting powerful predators.
Casting without fatigue all day long, with significantly less strain on the wrist and tendons, is just one of the benefits of Arctic Silver’s innovative handle system. This is especially advantageous when fishing with large streamers. Naturally, this design perfectly complements the state-of-the-art carbon blank based on the unique graphene material, which combines groundbreaking stability with a very lightweight feel. Its medium-fast to fast action, paired with relatively high recovery speed, gives this rod truly commanding casting capabilities. It can launch even massive pike streamers to record-breaking distances, and you can really feel the deep-loading flex profile with a value just over 1/2. Lastly, the titanium guides with ceramic inserts and titanium snake rings ensure your fly line glides smoothly toward the horizon with minimal friction.
In short: The blank lives up to its name, being truly an “ultimate beast” with extremely powerful casting and fighting characteristics thanks to its high-tech graphene blank. Thus, the blank and the Ultimate Beast single-handed fly rod are a top choice for fishing our local predators and, of course, strong saltwater species!

„One Handle for Multiple Rods? The brand-new, innovative Switch-Flex System from Arctic Silver makes this possible! This absolute novelty in the fly fishing market builds on the proven and patented Free-Flex System and goes one step further: From now on, different rod blanks can be used in a single handle and quickly exchanged. 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! We tested the system right at its product launch and show you how it works in this video..“
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.
