I asked a question about this rod not long ago. My question was is this a true two weight rod or do I need to over weight the rod with a three weight fly line. Two people were kind enough to answer my question. Their responses were pretty much the same. That yes this rod is indeed a true two weight.
I already own two of the echo base rods. I have a four weight and a seven weight. I thought those rods were and still are awesome in their own right.
However this little two weight in my opinion is just a wonderful rod to cast. You can feel the rod load on your backcast so well it's scary. I took the rod for a test drive over the weekend. I had a blast catching bluegills and crappie. I can't wait to take it to the driftless region and target brook trout with it.
If your on the fence about purchasing this rod don't be. Just get it, I am glad I did. I am already eyeing the six weight version to add to my arsenal.
My thanks to echo for making such wonderful rods that are very reasonably priced.
