Echo Classic review..

After casting shorthauls echo classic 10wt a couple of years ago..I said someday I'll buy one of these. Couldn't handle a 10wt so ended up with a 9' 4pc 8wt. Used it today. Great rods alot of power but able to load short and accurate..seems to have all the flex in the top1/3 of the of the rod but doesn't feel overly stiff. Single foot guides which I thought would "weird me out" but didn't. I would recommend them for sure.

I also love the rods; and though they're mid-priced, they look as good high-end rods.

Great rod for the buck!

Brian,
The rod that you tried was one of the very early production 9 wt that i got at the Warren Mi show, since then i added an Echo II 6 wt---The 9 wt is still one of my favorites.
