Request for rod recommendation

[Guy Gregory]

Well its winterish, and I'm thinking of a new stillwater rod for the spring. I've been feeling outgunned with my 4 wt. lately, and old man stuff suggests maybe I should think a bit about two-hand capability. I really like the Echo price point and customer service. Any recommendations from you on a 6 wt. switch, 9.5 foot minimum, for stillwater service, would be very welcome.

Shopping for rods nowadays is kinda like buying yogurt...f'in bewildering.

I am rarely a still water fisherman, but am a fan of the Echo OHS. Put it on your list of options to consider. I own both the 6 and the 8, that’s how much I like the OHS.

While not a switch rod (and won't alleviate old man problems) I'm very pleased with my Echo Stillwater 5 wt 10' flyrod. I know it comes in heavier line weights and slightly longer options. The Gorge flyshop usually throws in a wide variety of quality flyline selections with a purchase.
