Fly rods from the Italian company, Loomis & Franklin, are developed in close collaboration with Soldarini Fly Tackle and Sandro Soldarini. These are modern carbon fiber rods, which have a convincing price-performance ratio and very solid workmanship. With models for all major styles of fishing, Loomis & Franklin offers a budget-conscious entry into the world of fly fishing or a reliable back-up for advanced anglers - without breaking the bank.
The SX series from Loomis & Franklin includes models that cover a very wide range of modern fisheries. From the small creek rod to the powerful streamer rod. This includes the SX Switch Competition, which is a perfect solution for fishing on bigger rivers for Trout and other species. These powerful rods can be used one-handed and double-handed and offer great versatility. The medium-fast action of the blank loads very deep and allows you to form very smooth loops and deliver weighted streamers and flies with ease. You can use the SX Switch Competition with both compact shooting heads or classic fly lines to carry your fly with little effort to the opposite river bank. The modern carbon fibre gives an incredible amount of feel and a tremendous amount of fun when a big Trout grabs your fly during the swing!
The Loomis & Franklin SX Switch Competition features a slim switch handle made from sturdy cork that fits comfortably in the hand and is suitable for both single- and double-handed casting. The lightweight alumnium reel seat holds your reel tight and the dark green spacer matches the subtle finish of this modern fly rod that will give you a lot of joy without stretching your budget.
