Thomas & Thomas DNA Switch Rod
Medium fast action for effortless casting with one or two hands.
We’ve worked hard to develop rods that really do enable you to ‘Switch’ between any conceivable type of cast with a single rod. The versatility of these rods cannot be overstated — every style of casting from single handed, single handed spey, two handed overhead, traditional spey and sustained anchor styles can be accommodated by the unique actions of the DNA Switch. Offered in 5 through 7 weights, these adaptable rods have become a favorite for everything from big-water trout to small-stream steelhead.

- Four piece, clear-coated graphite blank
- Switch grip

I’ve tried several rods for different casting styles, but the DNA Switch stands out. It handles both single-handed and overhead casts smoothly. The switch grip makes it easy to adapt to different techniques on the fly. Great for stream and lake fishing.

The versatility is impressive. I use it for both trout and steelhead in small streams. The action is responsive and the blank feels balanced. Only downside is the weight range is a bit narrow for larger waters.

Switched from a traditional rod and now I can cast in multiple styles without changing gear. The aluminum reel seat is solid and the grip is comfortable during long sessions.

Works well in varied conditions. The fast action helps with quick casts, especially in tight spaces. I still need to adjust my technique slightly, but it’s a solid all-rounder.
