Echo Dec Hogan II Spey Rods

DHII? DHII?? Your first thought might be Why? But rest assured, the soul of the original medium-fast action DH series was not lost. The advancements in casting techniques and modern fly lines just inspired Dec & Tim to update and redesign this popular lineup. Dubbed the DH II, they provide a slightly crisper action, enhanced tip recovery, wider grain window, and a scary-wicked color scheme. More distance with ease sums up our whole thought process with the DH II series. Bonus: Only since the evolution of modern Spey lines has it been possible to build a true tweener rod, thus the 6.5 line designation. The gap between 6- and 7-weight two-handed rods has always left anglers searching for either a bigger six or smaller seven. Search no more, the 6.5 will definitely become the lower 48 meat-and-potatoes Summer Steelhead stick.

Each rod in this family has been tuned, dialed and tweaked to perfection; Dec worked hard to ensure that each rod has the perfect balance of power and action. Nothing says "Ahhhhhhhh" like casting a well made Spey rod, and the new Dec Hogan series of Echo two handed rods is here to elicit much moaning. Each rod features a full flex, classical Spey action designed for throwing Skagit heads and standard length Spey lines. The trimmin's include a graphite pearlescent finish, carbon-fiber reel seat, and composite cork tips on the handle.
