JK,

Thanks for the offers. I'll do some research. I have a single hand Scott that I really like, surprisingly read bad reviews on the T2H. Any memories casting it from 10 years ago Ted? I assume it would be slow with deep flex? Any idea what weight lines it likes?

Carl, sounds like the TFO Deer Creek? Do you know what lines it likes? How's the swing weight? I have a buddy with a 10 ft TFO he uses for stillwater and it's super tip heavy and soft, that would be my concern because I may do some nymphing with it.

MT, sorry, but not interested in an Echo. I've owned, broken, and sold a few, just haven't had a great experience overall.

I bought the Scott rod with a Scandi and a Skagit head. Not sure what weights they are, but I think the Scandi was around 280 gr and the Skagit around 300 gr. I have not tried the rod with any other heads. I will include those heads with the rod.

Thanks,
Ted

JK- the rod is the deer creek....I am not a 2 handed caster and don't have a clue what lines it likes...It said 300-400 on the rod..like I said I don't have any use for this rod. carlblackiedge@aol.com

All the two-handed TFO Spey/Switch rods are a bargain at retail prices so this is a super bargain for a cool size.

I am going to go with Carl's TFO for now. Worth a shot for $100. Thanks for the responses.

I have that very same rod. 400 grain airflow skagit short works good on that rod.

Unfortunately they stop Making it. You can land a decent size steelhead on it, I’ve even used it in the lower Yuba feather, Trinity.
Enjoy!

I'm going to try throwing a Commando head on it, 325 grains with a 110 grain tip. We'll see how it goes.
