Hero Double Hand Rods SWITCH HERO This is a true all-round switch rod. It excels in bigger trout rivers as well as in mid-sized salmon rivers and when rigged up with a Hybrid line it is super easy and comfortable to cast. SALMON HERO If you had to choose one rod for salmon fishing, it would be the 13'7" #8 weight. It is handy in smaller rivers but has enough kick in the butt to be used even in big rivers and high water conditions. This rod handles all type of lines, from a full floater to the fastest sinking. We give a rating for the carbon that is used in each of our graphite rods. The higher the number the higher the modulus of the carbon that is used for the rod. The rating is closely related to the tonnage of the carbon in each of the rods. However this is not the whole truth as we use different carbon mixtures to achieve the wanted rod action and also the resins differ from model to model. But this rating is an indication of the main carbon used in the blank. Our premium rods use graphene in the resin and rods are identified by the Graphene logo.
