11' 5/6wt. trout spey rod component kit
The new Proof 11' 5/6wt. switch blank features a medium/fast blank that is capable of delivering your fly great distances while the extra reach makes mending line and controlling the drift much easier than a shorter rod. The switch configuration is great when fishing close to the blank.
We chose a raw carbon finish with a semi-gloss top coat for the blank. This allows a neutral pallet that opens wide the range of hardware and thread colors that will work.
We shipped all of our new blanks to Steve Godshall, who works with the top spey and switch rod/line designers in the world. Steve put all of our blanks through the ranks and has provide custom guide spacing and line grain recommendations.
Scandi line: 340-360
Skagit: 370-400
