Why is the Echo SR Switch Rod Better?

From your first glance you will see the aesthetic features on the Echo SR which stand out.  The blank is a very cool looking matte olive green which is different and attractive.  The cork has rubberized composite ends to aid in durability and provide a great accent.  It also has hard chrome single foot guides.  This rod has the appearance of something that should cost twice as much.

When you cast the Echo SR, you will feel the evidence that it was designed by a guy with some serious passion for fly casting and fishing, Tim Rajeff.  He put an immense amount of hard work and research into planning this rod. Pacific Northwest anglers like the ability to fish in tight places with two handed rods, enter... the Echo SR. With a crisp action and modest power the ECHO SR rods maintain a load during a Spey cast better than other rods that have an extra fast action. In models ranging from 10'6" to 10'10" they are a perfect two hand length but are not beyond chucking with one hand when needed. Oh yea, did we mention these rod feature the best looking pale olive matte color, the family of SR rods will make you smile just putting them together.
