About the time that I began offering the 8' 5/6 weight Featherlight fly rods to the T.F.M. Store, I contacted Custom Fly Rod Crafters and asked if they would put together an inexpensive kit to allow the fly rod to be turned into a switch rod. They accepted the request and quickly put together the Featherlight Switch Rod Conversion Kit along with step by step instructions to make this modification as a quick evening project.
The conversion kit includes a 4" cork grip that matches the Featherlight handle which already has an arbor pre-glued into the cork. This kit also includes the epoxy to complete the assemby.
All in all you'll have a fun Featherlight switch rod D.I.Y. project for about $70 shipped ($45 fly rod and $25 conversion kit) to your doorstep.
Check out the T.F.M. Store website to order an 8' Featherlight fly rod and order the switch rod conversion kit online on the Custom Fly Rod Crafters website.
