Scandinavian rod?? - macfly55 - 06-13-2008
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000]I was doing some cruising around on the internet and ended up on a site and was taking a gander at the Echo rods they had for sale.. [/#008000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][/#008000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000]I am familiar with most of the rods listed on the page including echos spey rods.. but then something caught my eye and I had to check it out.. [/#008000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][/#008000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000]Echo has a rod they call a [/#008000][/font][url "http://bearsden.com/page858.html"][font "Comic Sans MS"][#ff0000]Scandinavian rod[/#ff0000][/font][/url][font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][#ff0000]..[/#ff0000] apparently it is designed to use a variety of lines including shooting heads.. [/#008000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][/#008000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000]I am curious if anyone has ever heard of this type rod.. from what I read on the page it allows a normal overhand cast as well as a "close" in cast which I can only guess is a spey or switch type casting.. [/#008000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][/#008000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000]Any thoughts anyone?? [/#008000][/font]
