Echo Rod / Line Weight Recommendations
Whether you're using them with one hand or two, spey casting or overhead casting, Switch Rods have become an important tool for people who trout and steelhead fish. Great Lakes fly anglers love the light weight and shorter length. Pacific Northwest anglers like the ability to fish in tight places with two hands. With a crisp action and modest power the ECHO SR rods maintain a load during a Spey cast better than other rods that have an extra fast action. In models ranging from 10'6" to 10'10" they are a perfect two hand length but are not beyond chucking with one hand when needed. The family of SR rods will make you smile just putting them together.
Fast actions and versatile sizes make the SR series the best stick for two-handed bug slingers that prefer a shorter rod. The #3-5 models are ideal for trout (and smallmouth!) everywhere, while the #6-8 handle larger anadromous fish with authority. Slick cosmetics and bombproof componentry help solidify the SR as the fishiest switch rod on the water.
