Greys Kite Switch Fly Rod

The new Kite fly rod series: It is an absolute price-performance winner from Greys and nestles right between the Lance series and the Wing series. It comes with some welcomed upgrades in terms of performance and feel, and with its wide lineup of different rod models, it offers an incredible range of uses and technical applications. Whether it's in the green tunnel for shy trout, with streamers for fast predators, or for sought-after migratory salmonids. With the Lance, Greys relies on their in-house advanced TOREON® blank technology, which we have already come to know and love on some of Greys' absolute best-selling models. Using this special nano-composite material, the blank becomes up to 20% stronger and more resistant to external impacts without becoming thicker or heavier. The fine blanks also have an incredibly good transmission: Delicacy from the tip to the handpiece, which is noticeable on the water through incredible line and fly control.

TOREON® technology combines a medium-fast action, high recovery with progressive flex, allowing for high line speeds with simultaneous sensitivity and feedback in casting over all distances. Short casts succeed precisely from the tip section of the rod, while the lower section brings power to the cast at longer distances. The medium fast to fast blanks harmonize perfectly with modern, slightly overweighted flying lines and offer a performance that you would not expect in this price range!

Kite Switch:
We are particularly pleased that Greys has also opted for some Switch models in the Kite series. And these are "purebred" switch rods that can be operated both one- and two-handed. Perfect, therefore, for varied waters where you are limited in space, but every now and then you need to cast longer lines. With their balanced action, the rods serve a number of different line systems: lighter Skandi shooting heads can be cast precisely with tight loops out of the tip, while heavier Skagit heads allow the rod to work a bit deeper. Rods with integrated shooting heads are especially versatile, seamlessly merging the worlds of single- and double-handed fishing.

The construction of the blanks is well thought out and leaves hardly anything to be desired within this price range. The sanded, carbon gray carbon fiber blank is fitted with sturdy single foot guides for reduced swing weight. Each rod section has been individually marked and equipped with alignment dots. A classy, down-locking aluminum reel seat with double lock nut holds your reels wobble-free and balanced, and blends seamlessly with the nice switch cork handle that fits perfectly in your hands.

In short, it's a great addition to an already wide-ranging rod series that will put a big smile on the faces of beginners and advanced anglers alike.
