Aventik Switch rod and skagit casting tips

[@paulkennedy5953]

I'm in the process of purchasing this rod to start out....🙂👍...thanks a lot Tim...👍

[@bjornchristiansson2827]

I have the 12,6' 8/9# And the 13,7' 9/10# And 14,8' 10/11# They are 40tone Toray Nano carbon short stroke made for scandi casting! But they do as good job whit skagit to. The price is amazing!!! And I love the crisp action as I'm pro caster. For any one who think of buy those blanks. I say do it you will not regret that. I have not try the 11,6' yet but I guessing a 7/8# be perfect steelhead rod or here for our sea runs brown. Tanks Tim awesome as always! The swed 🇸🇪

Thanks Tim I have two Aventik 11' 6" (actually 11' 3" measured) custom build blanks in 4-5wt and 5-6wt, I fish a lot with them and really love it! IMHO highly recommended for about € 50,00 each.

Great to hear! Thanks for the recommendation

Thanks Tim! I don't fish heavy fly very often but I want to put them on to practice your tips now🙂

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

Great to hear! Thanks brother!

I bought a 12.6 ft. 6 wt. from Maxcatch a few years ago just for the hell of it because it was under $100. The rod actually was very good and now i let people i teach you it. It's been through alot but still performs perfectly. Thanks Tim great video!

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

Good to know! I’m a sucker for a sub 100. Dollar rod! Thanks Ron!

[@fishbeelowme245]

That rod is my secret weapon with Rio Game Changer 350g F/I/S3/S5! 10 feet T8. Cover deep runs with big flies. Try their Salmon Saltwater 7-9 reel! Run RIO Short 300g with Intouch Replacement Tips 10 feet 4ips & 7ips plus floating tip for big salmon flies!

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

great recommendation! Thanks for sharing!

[@craigwilson5268]

Which classic reel are you using? Wild Water 11’ 5wt. 275 commando w/ 10’ floating tip and 12’ mono leader for stone flies. Sweet!

[@johnbaxter5698]

Thanks Tim! Any idea of the Skagit weight recommendations of these rods? Great review as always.

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

i use 250 to 300 on the 4/5 super short heads like commando or old school skagit trout max

[@Sochmo18]

Hey tim I just got a bunch of those maxcatch skagit heads. I wanna try chopping down the 20’ 300grain to something like an opst commando for my 5wt. Where should i cut from or should i cut from the front and back of the head? Im contemplating cutting several feet from the belly and welding it back together….. thanks man!

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

Try chopping from the front end, that might give the desired effect! Works good!

[@Sochmo18]

@@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins Love it! You’re the second person to tell me from the front, thanks Tim!

[@KristianBjering]

Hi. Any suggestions on line length and weight for skagit casting with this rod?

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

I 275 grain commando type head should do the trick or SA Spey lite Skagit

[@DanskeMansk]

I just bought this rod in 7/8 and thinking. Do you think a 400skagit with 70gr tip will work good or will it overload?

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

Might be a tad heavy 👍🏻

[@michaelcapurso]

Searched for the rod, no luck, can you please post a link.

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]
