The Rio Freshwater Specialty Series Elite Switch Indicator is a fly line designed to cast heavy nymph rigs when using a switch rod. A short, powerful head allows for easy rod loading and turning over of nymph rigs and indicators. A long front taper aids in mending and fly control for long drifts that cover extensive distances. Anglers who use a switch rod would use this.

Key Features

  • 30ft Weights – This length of weight was specifically chosen to better load longer switch rods.
  • Double Welded Loops – The welded loops at both ends of the line make attaching to backing and leaders quick and easy with a loop-to-loop knot.
  • Versatile Taper – The taper on this line is designed to either be overhead cast or spey cast, depending on the situation.

Matt was so easy to work with. He answered all my questions and there were many. He offered detailed explanations for his recommendations and sold me exactly what I needed, nothing more and nothing less. He also gave me valuable information regarding the sport of fly fishing and not just the current equipment I was seeking to buy. It was an amazing experience. Thanks Matt!

5 /5
Rylyn found a sale for the Douglas Sky G rod and recommended it. He said that this was the best rod in the market and so I bought it. We paired it with monic Trout Master fly line. I was not disappointed at all! The rod feels intuitive and natural to cast. I could cast more accurately and a longer distance than I ever did with my previous rod.

I recently purchased a pair of waders through Curated with Stefan’s help. They were very helpful and able to get me exactly what I was looking. Items were perfect for my price range and the days by the streams/lakes that I will spend my time at. I enjoy researching products on my own, and was worried Curated might take the fun out of things, but this service is great for people like me also. Whether you have an idea of what you want, or are just getting started looking I would highly recommend Curated, and Stefan!

Josh and Curated were awesome!
5 /5
Found a great deal on Curated for a Daiwa fishing pole. My sales representative, Josh, was very helpful in answering questions before the order. Even more impressive was how he and Curated responded when the rod was delivered broken (not their fault). They immediately helped guide me through the return process which provided me the confidence that this would be resolved without issue. New rod is on the way and I have already ordered a second one!

Rylyn is attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful. He promptly responded to my inquires throughout the day and continued to send over his well written personal reviews of products and created bundle deals catered to my needs. When an issue arose with products not being available, he sent over the links I needed to get the products those products within a few minutes. If only every shopping experience was like this. Thanks again for lending your expertise and helping me find the top products I needed for my fly fishing trip at an affordable price.
