Red Truck Diesel 5110-4 | 11′ 5wt Switch Rod
Why are the best looking seams always just out of reach?
The Red Truck Diesel 5110-4 Switch Rod was built to answer that question once and for all. At 11 feet, this rod gives you the reach to stay completely stealthy while high-sticking, the power to roll cast or overhead cast to the far bank, and the versatility to cover water that most anglers simply walk past. Leave no boulder uncovered.
Whether you’re swinging flies on a large tailwater, drifting indicators through a deep steelhead run, or skating a dry fly across a glassy seam, the 5110-4 handles it all with ease. Match it with a short shooting head for exceptional swing capabilities, or load it with a longer belly single-hand line for the ultimate in dead-drift presentations. Light, versatile, and genuinely fun to cast, this rod puts you in control of every situation on the water.
The powerful mid-section and butt make picking up heavy flies and tips effortless, while precision-fit ferrules mean fast turnaround if you ever need a repair. The detachable handle system gives you the best of both worlds — attach the switch handle for swinging, or swap to the fighting butt for single hand use.
In stock and ready to fish.

This is one rod I’d like to add to my weapons. I had the chance to borrow this rod for the Bow River. The ten foot length was a huge asset with super sensitive action, any nibbles were immediate hook sets! It’s versatility would make this the only rod I’d fish on that river.

Love this rod, worked great paired with a 7wt floating line. Love the fact that you can switch out handles and increase or decrease weight in the butt section. Smooth action and a great 5wt switch rod, my only complaint is I’m use to a little longer front grip on a switch rod.

This is my favorite trout spey rod. I have it paired up with an 225 grain OPST Commando Smooth line, with 7 1/2 foot sink tips and I can turn over size 6 Sculpzillas like a champ! I like the shorter cork handle for trout spey because it keeps my casting arm tucked in the pocket when casting Skagit heads. Comes in handy when casting with brush behind you. Nice moderate fast action too. Not too mention its a pretty good looking rod too as well as great performance.

TROUT SPEY!! This is it. Everything one would want. Great with a compact shooting head but also great with a standard 7 weight single hand line (Rio Gold). It throws great and has landed me some nice fish. My favorite line up is a 225 grain skagit style line with a bit of T10, a short piece of Maxima, a Pat’s Stone, topped off with soft hackle of the day. Enough talk, I gotta go fish….

I bought this rod today and paired it with the Redtruck 6nine migration reel with Rio switch line. This will my new weapon for big fish hunting. Can’t wait to put into action with the rest of my arsenal of RedTruck rods and reels!! Thanks guys
