*1Arctic Silver'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 just 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 it possible with just a few quick adjustments. 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 ArcticSilver RIVER Medium-Fast-Action Switch Fly Rod Blank is a new model from Arctic Silver that can be cast both overhead and underhand. Conveniently, the Switch-Flex System allows you to choose different handles for both casting styles. The RIVER rod blanks are based on single-handed rod weight classes but can also be used as lightweight two-handed rods. This versatility means they perform excellently in Spey casting while providing smoother overhead casting compared to traditional two-handed rods. Graphene technology plays a key role in the performance of the blank by enhancing strength, lightness, and responsiveness. Known for its exceptional durability, graphene ensures that each rod provides superior feel and feedback. The fast recovery speeds and smooth bend curves enabled by this technology contribute to optimal casting distance and accuracy. In practice, this means you can quickly adapt to different conditions and casting styles—with just one rod. The rod easily loads for overhead casting at great distances and is also well-suited for underhand casting. The River Switch Rod excels at shooting fly lines with short heads or shooting heads over impressive distances.
In short: The ArcticSilver RIVER Medium-Fast-Action Switch Fly Rod is a brilliant solution for those who want to fish both overhead and underhand, allowing them to adapt to changing conditions. The fly rod blank is designed around single-hand fly line weights, making it easy and quick to find the right line for plenty of fun on the water—with a variety of casting styles.

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.
