Hi,
My son's birthday is coming up in a couple months and I want to get him a new rod for a trip to Yellowstone we're planning this summer.

I want to get him a 4wt in 8'6" to 9' length. Unfortunately, there are no shops close by where I can have him cast a bunch of rods.

He currently fishes with a Cabelas stow away 5 piece rod 7'6" 4 wt. He really likes the rod and the way it casts.

So, here's what I'm looking at all 4 piece rods.

Echo Classic
TFO Pro Series
Sage Launch
Scott A2
TFO Finnesse

Making a rod is not in the cards. I barely have enough time to fish let alone learning to build a rod and getting good enough at it to have one that he would be proud to own by April.

So, what are your thoughts? Which ones sould I consider that are not on the above list?

Thanks,
Jeff
