ArcticSilver's latest highlight, the Switch-Flex-System (patent pending), offers unparalleled flexibility. This innovative system allows you to swap fly rod blanks within the same handle in seconds. Whether you need to switch from a fine 3-weight rod for precise casts to a heavy 10-weight rod for battling larger fish, the Switch-Flex-System makes it possible with just a few simple movements. Those who already own one of the Switch-Flex handles can take advantage of Arctic Silver's more affordable blanks and easily mount them into the Switch-Flex-System.
The RISE fly rod blank series from Arctic Silver consists of four medium-fast fly rod blanks. Crafted with state-of-the-art graphene technology, these blanks offer impressive depth, fast recovery speeds, and smooth bending curves for outstanding casting performance. With a unique flex profile just above 3/4, these blanks excel under moderate loads, providing smooth presentations and longer casting distances when targeting your dream fish. Whether fishing for trout, grayling, or even sea trout in coastal waters, these rod blanks deliver the precision, control, and power needed to adapt to various environments. Their balanced combination of sensitivity and strength makes them ideal for the demanding requirements of different casting styles and fishing conditions. The unique molecular structure of graphene allows for a perfect blend of power and sensitivity, giving fly anglers the confidence to handle tricky casts and delicate bites. Whether targeting trout, grayling, or sea trout, these graphene rod blanks offer the performance and feel needed for a wide range of fly fishing adventures, from small streams to larger rivers and coastal waters!
In short: If you're looking for a highly sensitive blank that still has plenty of power for casting and fighting fish, the Arctic Silver RISE blank paired with the new Switch-Flex-System handle is the way to go!

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.
