Echo Rod / Line Weight Recommendations
Echo SR Switch Rods are built for anglers who want two-hand control in a shorter, more flexible package. Fish them one-handed or two-handed, spey cast or overhead cast, the point is efficiency. Great Lakes anglers appreciate the lighter swing weight and compact length, while Pacific Northwest anglers like how a switch rod lets you keep a two-hand stroke in tighter spots where a longer spey rod is not practical.
The SR series has a crisp feel with moderate power, and it carries a sustained load through the cast instead of snapping out too quickly. That makes it especially comfortable for spey-style casts, while still having the backbone to move sink tips and bigger flies when needed. With models running from 10'6" to 10'10", these rods sit in the sweet spot for two-hand fishing, but they are still manageable with one hand when the situation calls for it.
Size options cover a wide range of fisheries. The lighter models are a strong fit for trout and smallmouth, while the heavier models are designed for steelhead and other anadromous fish. If you want a shorter “bug-slinging” two-hander that can adapt across techniques and water types, the Echo SR family is an easy lineup to get along with.
