Last year the Echo DH rods helped more anglers become good two hand casters than any other rods we have ever produced. Maybe it's the rods' smooth action or their ability to easily load into the butt of the rod, but our customers have told us that Echo DH rods perform over a wider range of fishing conditions than any other rod they have used. Designed by Dec Hogan, each section of every Echo DH rod has been fine tuned to provide the optimal amount of bend during the cast. Echo DH rods are designed to comfortably handle standard Spey lines as well as Skagit style lines. At Dec's request we now offer a 14'6" #7 rod and a 15'0" #8 rod to fish longer lines on big rivers.
