Guideline LPXe Switch Fly Rod
Product information "Guideline LPXe Switch Fly Rod"
The legend Guideline LPXe rod series has been on the market for not less than 13 years – and yet still backups fly fishermen all over the world. Its sensitive and yet crisp action inspired a lot, both with single hand and double handed style.
Meanwhile rod building technology stepped forward with fibre technology and as well different components. That's why Guideline finally decided to take action and design an all new series: state to the art carbon fibre technlology, well tested guides of the RSI series and a completely new look. More than 2.5 years they casted adapted and of course caught many fish until final models where satisfying in every single class. And here it is, the brand new LPXe series!
Guideline managed to keep the soul and heart of the LPXe which delivers the same sensitivity than its previous models. Yet the blank is quite a bit faster and you feel more power in the core bottom. Light, crisp and fast describes it perfectly, although the blank bends down ¾ deep during casting as well. This allows tight loops with great feeling and provides a perfect combination for overhead and water based casts like switch cast and underhand.
Regarding its design, the new LPXe “shines” with a matte sanded blank finish! Copper decorative wrappings fit nice and the rods are completed by a futuristic milled aluminium reel seat. Also new: The rod sock is made of thick mesh material that will protect your rod like no other sock and guarantees increased air circulation.
As you can see, every detail has been surveyed and years of experienced have been usede to bring you the best version of the LPXe possible up to date. We for our part are sure that the new series will again spread around the world and inspire many of us!
Barely any other rod is more worth the title „switch“ as this LPXe series! Because of its extended fighting butt which is expendable via screw system you really got the feeling of a lightweight double hander. Within seconds you switch from a single handed rod to a double handed and it delivers a long lever for your casting strokes. Always stay flexible and adapt to any river size! Either you fish a large trout stream or a smaller salmon- / seatrout stream – with Guideline's LPXe Switch you will have a lot of fun in every situation!
