Rob, I've eaten spaghetti that have more backbone than your 5 wt switch rod!
:-)

Give me a shout if you want a shot of the access 6 wt with the barrio switch.
But only when you've finished my old spinning/worming rod (13 months and counting.......)

13 months? I am ahead of schedule then!! The annoying thing is, its whipped and sitting by the fire in the living room, I just can't get a free room to epoxy it just now! Ok, my mission for the weekend is to clear the table in the spare room and epoxy...!!!

I used to use Izzys room when she was up at her mums, thats not an option now unless you want glitter and lipstick in the epoxy!!

OK, now I could say something about Barrio Switch lines, I have had enough time to spent on the water and playing with few switch rods and Barrio Switch lines.

Rods which I used are:

- Scott LS2 12ft #6
- Sage Z-Axis 11ft #5
- Amudson Wind-Warrior Spey 11ft #6
- TFO Deer Creek Series  11ft #5

As Pro Team Member I tried to find any bad side of line, and give Mike this info to improve his lines and business.

Most of time I spent using these equipment in fishing situation (for me the best field for testing) with dries flies and light and heavy streamers.

I found that I had on these rods the best line I ever had. So easy casting, mending, picking up, and good fun playing (Of course).

Not more and no less grains into line. I compared with Rio Outbond. Big difference in positive side of Barrio switch.

Sorry Mike but I did not find anything bad or wrong to tell you.

Just could say you did big job with guys who help you to make the best line for switch rod, I ever tried and used.

I have some video made with GoPro Hero3 but my computers are so old to edit video from this camera.   Will do something soon and put here.

Mike
Line arrived today.
Thanks again for your superb service, line arrived just a couple of days after I ordered it. The line seems to really suit my Guideline LPXE switch rod.
