Echo two handed fiberglass switch rods

Anybody use the echo glass two handed fly rods? Saw one a while back and loved the way it felt, didn't cast it though...

I haven't swung the glass yet but do own an Echo3 spey and an Echo TR. Couldn't be happier with them!

I have casted them, they are great of you like the slower, delayed action of glass. Some guys dig it, and it matches their casting style. My personal opinion is they are a great small stream swing rod, a little slow for nymphing with.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

I love fishing with glass.  I may even sell my graphite stuff.  I learned on glass years ago, and I just love the new glass rods.

Haven't with the glass but think it'd be great for actually spey casting.  Slow rods and long bellies on tailouts for steel sounds perfect to me 😊
