If you want a rocket launcher of a fly rod, try the ECHO EPR!! I got the 6wt the other day, gave a casting lesson today and used it in the lesson. Well, not at first. We started off with a ION XL 6wt with the 225grn Surf line and the client was easily casting 60 feet and felt very comfortable with that combo. Then I handed him the EPR with the 260grn Surf line and he threw about a 75 foot cast. The look he gave me was hysterical. Guess who wants one now? This was his first attempt at fly casting. I wanted to add that they list this rod as “Super fast and super powerful”
