Manufacturers Description

It has been said in shops around the country many times that there is no such thing as a bad Spey rod, just mediocre lines. We are proud to introduce our new Elixir Switch and Spey lines. At Beulah, we believe today's shorter Switch and Spey rods need condensed spey lines to maximize performance, line control and ease of casting. We have engineered 8 individual lines specifically to match each of our Switch and Spey rods starting with our 10'6" 5/6 Switch. With eight line models to choose from, these will also be an excellent performance match for many other two-handed fly rods manufacturers newly developed offerings.

PERFORMANCE PROFILES

Short steep rear taper that forms tight bullet shaped loops. The Heaviest concentration of grains is located in the rear 1/3 of the head for complete casting control, tight quarters, or with trees directly overhead. Long gradual tapered front section create a smooth, crisp feel with your Elixir line.

LINE FEATURES

Integrated thin diameter running line for exceptional shooting and direct a connection to the Elixir head. Elixir also feature an in-line color change at the load point from subtle Sage Green running line tc Stealthy Straw Yellow Heads. Supple line material for low to no memory, and ease of line management in all weather conditions.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

These lines are designed to be fished with the leader that is one and a half times length of your rod. We suggest Poly Leaders in 10' and 14' lengths (Switch Rods 10' and Spey 14'). The poly leaders complete your Elixir spey system providing the proper leader length and the added benefit of varied float and sink rates.
