This Echo DH 13'3 8wt is in Great Condition

The "Smooth Operator" for Big Water Steelhead and Salmon.

If you’ve been intimidated by the stiff, ultra-fast "poker" rods that seem to dominate the Spey world lately, the Echo Dec Hogan (DH) is exactly what you need. This rod was designed by Tim Rajeff and Spey legend Dec Hogan to do one thing: make casting fun again. While premium Spey setups can easily touch $1,200, this is your chance to "Trade Up" to a cult classic that many pros still prefer over modern graphite for its incredible "soul" and timing.

Why You Need This Rod

The Echo DH 8133-4 is widely considered the "sweet spot" of the lineup. At 13'3", it has the length to clear big boulders and make massive mends, but it doesn't feel like a chore to swing all day. It’s famous for its deep, into-the-handle flex. You will actually feel this rod load, which makes your timing more consistent and your casts more effortless. Whether you're swinging big intruders for winter chrome or launching a Scandi line across the Deschutes, this rod is a "cannon" that won't wear you out.

Condition: Great (Very well-maintained, clean cork and blank).

Length/Weight: 13'3" / 8wt Spey.

Action: Medium-Fast (Deep loading with a crisp recovery).

Line Recommendations: * Skagit: 540 – 570 grains. Scandi: 510 – 540 grains.

Condition Note: This rod is in Great Condition. Unlike most used Spey rods that have been beaten up on rocky banks, this one has been meticulously cared for. The cork is clean, the ferrules are tight, and the blank shows only the lightest signs of use. It's a high-performance tool ready for a new owner to take it to the river.
