Originally designed on the Deschutes River in Oregon for fishing in areas with very little back cast room. The first lines sizes, 4-6 (195-235 grains) were primarily for the trout guys. Typically a good starting point for switch rods is an Ambush 8 weight (290 grains) will load a 5 weight switch rod, Ambush 9 for a 6wt switch and a Ambush 10 for a 7wt switch (rated for spey application).
