We’ll come out and say it. The Echo OHS is one of the best all-around fly rods for anadromous fish in Alaska. It is the perfect middle ground between a switch rod and single hand rod. Imagine if your favorite single hand rod and your favorite switch rod made a baby… that baby would be the OHS.
At 10′ 4″ in length, the OHS overheads effortlessly, mends huge amounts of line and still does switch and spey casts beautifully. Especially when you put on the 2 1/2″ rear spey grip.
Match it up with a Sage Trout Spey Reel and either a Scientific Angler’s Anadro Nymph Taper line or OPST Commando Smooth and you have an unbelievable rod package.
