Hi friends,
Here is a video of lawn casting the Fenwicks fiberglass switch rod at my front yard. It has a sweet fiberglass action. The rod is 10 feet long and about 5/6 line weight in the two handed rating system. I was using a custom cut scandi line, 24 feet and about 270 grain. I think this is a light match, pretty sweet for the scandi style casting. It could go up to 400 grain when paired with skagit style and sink tips ... I did not use grass leader for this casting practice, so you can tell I am a bit cautious about blowing the anchor. If test this set up on the water, the rod could load a bit deeper and the line will go smoother... (enlarge the video for more HD detail)

Mark...beautiful casting and making me want to try the two Scandi Compact heads I have for the Fiberhammer.
Are you sure you don't want your Lami switch build back? I haven't had a chance to play with it and you're certainly in a spey/switch fever.
Great video and nice casting footage Mark!! Looks like a very nice rod/line combination...
Thanks Cameron and Vlad,
appreciated the kind words...
It's pretty good feel for this combination... very easy to feel the rod load too...
I am surprised there are not many manufacturer take up the advantage of fiberglass material... cheap , strong and good feel...
Cameron, gift is gift : ) ... you need to put it into use though... : P
