Each year I seem to lose a little more of my wading ability. This year I have decided, (on the side of safety,) that my wading ability is gone. As such, I've taken to fishing rivers and streams from a garden bench at water's edge. With that in mind I've been considering a switch rod in order to be able to fish those parts of the rivers & streams that I can no longer reach without wading.
Yesterday I looked at a Scott switch rod that really piqued my interest. I can get it for $350, but that means I'll have to sell some things to get it. I'd be willing to sell some of my favorite rods to get the Scott, but I think I need some input from the folks I trust the most (FAOLers). I would be fishing mostly for Westslope Native Cutthroat. I'd also be using it for boat fishing for Rainbows and Bass. Maybe even some Tiger Muskies.
Does anyone here have any experience with Scott switch rods or switch rods in general? I'm also considering building one from Midwest Custom Fly Rods.
Any expertise out there?
Thanks Ahead,
