Greys Kite Switch Fly Rod

Sitting perfectly between single-hand and full two-hand rods, Greys' Kite Switch excels in tight quarters where backcast space is limited, yet still delivers the power and stability needed for confident Spey-style presentations. Whether you’re roll casting under trees, swinging flies through narrow runs, or airing out an overhead cast when space allows, this rod adapts effortlessly to the moment. Built on Greys’ refined Toreon blank platform, the Kite Switch balances responsiveness with forgiveness, making it approachable for developing anglers while still offering the performance experienced casters expect. It’s a true do-everything switch rod—comfortable in close, capable at distance, and reliable across a wide range of techniques, and line weights 6/7, 7/8, and 8/9 in an 11'1" length provide options for nearly every two-handed fishery.

Blank

Toreon High-Intermediate Modulus Carbon Blank – The Kite Switch is built on Greys’ proven Toreon carbon construction, delivering a high-recovery action that remains smooth and predictable under load. This material choice provides excellent durability and consistency while maintaining the responsiveness needed for efficient Spey casting and controlled overhead work.

The blank’s medium-fast action is built to handle both sustained anchor casts and aerial techniques, making it a versatile tool for anglers who want flexibility without complexity, and the blank's clean grey look blends into surroundings without being overstated.

Guides

Single-Foot Snake Guides – Lightweight and durable, the snake guides maintain smooth line flow while keeping swing weight low.

Lined Stripping Guides Lined stripping guides ensure durability and reduce friction and improve line management, particularly when shooting line or managing longer heads.

Reel Seat

Full Alloy Reel Seat with Dual Locking Nuts – The Kite's reel seat features a rugged aluminum construction with dual locking nuts and a nylon cushion ring for added security. A keyed slide band ensures proper reel alignment every time, while the solid build provides confidence when fishing heavier lines or managing powerful fish.

Rod Tube

Each Kite Switch ships in a protective cloth rod bag and durable hard tube, making transport and storage simple whether you’re heading to the local river or traveling farther afield.
