I'm looking to build out my steelhead quiver. I will have a 7wt 7133 Spey for swinging. I also need a long nymphing rod. Was thinking a 10ft Single but thought, why not go for the Switch rod. Something like a Sage One 7wt 11ft(?) switch. Then I have the option of using it to swing smaller rivers/streams. Also thinking the extra length might be nice, I know Euronymphing guys will go 11ft.
Is there a downside to a nice Switch rod vs a traditional 10ft Single Hander for pure nymphing (beads and weighted flies)?
