From Tim's site - Solo is 3 piece - medium fast; DH is 4 piece medium action
thanx Rick anybody have one of these any input
The solo spey is actually a 4 pc. Both are nice rods for the money. The solo is a tad faster than the Decho which has a smooth medium flex and a little nicer components.
It's nice to have so many good mid priced rods on the market right now.
Aaron - true? all the literature states 3-piece
Yes, the solo single handers are 3 pc, spey are 4 pc.
We are selling lots of the 12'6" #6 - 4 pc and the 12'9" #7 - 4pc Tim Rajeff Echo Solo Spey rods for $229.00
They also come in a 13' #8 - 4pc model.
They are the best buy in a good Spey rod in the USA.
Whether it is your first Spey rod or a back up for a big trip, they are the best value we have found.

The Echo is a 4 piece rod... and it casts nicely! My wife picked one up for me for Christmas. I now get to figure out what line I'm paring with this guy... I'm very excited by this!
Often wrong, seldom in doubt!
OK so I got one for x-mas now . Which line do I look at to place on this rod . Any help thanx Craig
I was casting the short skagit lines on the Rod right after christmas. In the Rio Flight I liked the 450 grn head more than the 425, but that was just preference. The rod itself handled either one nicely. I'm a big guy and I think I need a slightly longer head than the flight to get the rod to load up. I tend to pull my anchor with the shorter heads.
The 425 grain- 450 grain skagit head weight seems to work well.
