Expert Reviews:
According to the August 2023 Trout & Salmon Switch Rod Test, Tweed gillie Calum Manson noted:
“This rod had the most traditional action in the test but was none the worst for that. It cast all the lines, achieving ample distance with little effort. While not quite as crisp and accurate as the best rods, it was easy to cast and fun to fish with. Its softer action required a traditional spey-casting style, a slower and more progressive stroke, but the feedback into the handle made timing easy. While it might not have the power to cope with harsh conditions and bigger flies, it would feel at home on medium-sized rivers, fishing small flies. Its forgiving action makes it a good rod for the younger or developing caster.”
In a June 2020 review, Trout & Salmon commented:
“The rod allows the caster to feel the blank loading and will improve timing. While it will suit the average caster, it also has a crispness that helps to achieve nice loops and good delivery. It cast perfectly acceptable fishing distances with little effort and was a real pleasure to use. Another rod from Sharpe’s made for fishing, not casting.”
Line Compatibility:
The rod is rated for a 7# overhead casting line, but the specifications vary for switch or spey lines:
- 300 grains for overhead casting
- 350-450 grains for switch and spey casting
- 450 grains and above for Scandi lines
