Guideline LPXe Switch Rod

Guideline LPXe Switch Rod - The best of two worlds

Guideline's LPXe rod series has been the manufacturer's best seller for 13 years and has now been completely redesigned in terms of material, action and design. After three years of development and testing, Guideline's new flagship is finally on the market. The rods are light, relatively deep (3/4 of the blanc) but still fast. With a new blank material, the rods are stronger than ever and have even better resilience.

To reduce the frictional resistance and knotting of the line in the rings, the LPXe comes with angled, black Fuji KW Guiding and Single Rings, which perfectly round off the overall look of the rod and only minimally affect the action of the rod. The very cool, black anodized aluminum reel holder with anthracite-colored insert is color-matched to the matte blank of the rod. Overall, a very refreshing, modern fly rod, which convinces in all its features. Not only is it a real shot, but it also performs better than average when casting.

Especially when low water levels require gentle presentations and those with "right" two-handed casts just do not succeed, a switch rod as a hybrid between one- and two-handed rod is unbeatable. The switch versions of the LPXe series redefine the existence of switch rods as they come with an extendable finging-butt. They literally transform their rod from a one-handed to a two-handed rod. Never before have you been so flexible in how to fish, be it large trout, salmon or sea trout on tricky conditions or summer steelheads.
