ArcticSilver's latest highlight, the Switch-Flex System (patent pending), offers exceptional flexibility. This innovative system allows fly rod blanks to be swapped within the same handle in seconds. Whether you need to switch from a delicate 3-weight rod for precise casts to a heavy 10-weight rod for battling larger fish, the Switch-Flex System makes the transition effortless 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 system.
The Switch-Flex System 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 harsh saltwater conditions. Even the fighting butt can be customized—inside the case, which optimally protects the rod handle, you'll find three different end caps that can be easily screwed onto the reel seat. The ergonomic design of the handle system reduces strain on wrists and tendons, allowing for fatigue-free casting all day long, just one of the many benefits of Arctic Silver's innovative grip system.
The new ArcticSilver FJORD Single-Hand Fly Rod Fast-Action has been designed for exceptional speed and precision with every cast. The Fjord series is built with advanced graphene-based blanks that set new standards in performance. The FJORD blanks are engineered for fast action, with a flex profile just under ½, meaning that about half the blank bends under moderate load. This results in impressive recovery speeds, allowing for efficient, long-distance casting with minimal false casts. Despite its fast action, the FJORD blank offers a remarkably smooth bend, enabling both powerful long casts and delicate presentations. The integration of graphene technology enhances the blank’s responsiveness and durability, providing superior feel and control in any situation. This makes the Fjord fly rod from Arctic Silver a true all-rounder, offering exciting and varied fishing experiences across its five different weight classes, suitable for almost any target fish.
The new Fjord series from Arctic Silver represents easy casting, distance, precision, and above all, a lot of fun!

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.
