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 rods that have an extra fast action. At 10'10" they are a perfect two hand length but are not beyond chucking with one hand when needed. Disguised in the best looking dark slate gloss color these ECHO SR rods will make you smile just putting them together.
