Redington Claymore 6116-4 Switch Fly Rod (6WT 11'6")

The Redington Claymore 6116-4 is a specialized two-handed fly rod engineered for anglers targeting larger trout and light summer steelhead in restricted river environments. Designed for aggressive tip control and predictable loading, this demo configuration bridges the gap between traditional switch rods and full spey lengths, delivering refined turnover for both swung and drifting presentations.

• Model Specifications: Claymore 6116-4, a 6-weight rated 11-foot 6-inch four-piece switch rod with extended switch handle
• Recommended Grain Weight: Optimized for Skagit heads weighing 400–450 grains and Scandi heads ranging from 330–420 grains
• Action & Power Curve: Fast-acting carbon blank calibrated for higher torque, requiring 6-weight line sizing for optimal tempograph match
• Unit Condition: Cast-only demonstration unit with minimal cosmetic wear along the reel seat threads; previously returned due to customer preference for reduced horsepower

This rod resolves the limitation of shorter setups when navigating tight, brush-lined tributaries or punching streamers into crosswinds. The calibrated action maintains sufficient core stiffness to support heavy sinking tips and weighted nymph rigs without sacrificing delicate tippet protection. Anglers gain consistent energy transfer through long casts, improving roll-cast efficiency and reducing finger strain during extended days of swinging. The four-piece breakdown simplifies vehicle and pack transport, while the established grain-weight envelope ensures immediate compatibility with modern line systems. This demo unit offers factory-calibrated performance at a streamlined price point, provided the user’s casting style aligns with its robust leverage profile.
