Get a 5-6 wt for utility
So I am looking at an Echo shadow 10ft 3 wt or a 10'6 4wt. Leaning more on the 4. However, my question is; Are these types of euro style nymph rods only for that purpose or do they also excel in throwing indicator rigs? ( which is what I really want to do and my main concern).
I would appreciate feedback from all of you especially the indicator jesus himself @Irafly . I am sure you guys want to know what systems I will want to do this on. #1 Yakima, #2 Cedar (rarely) #3 other general rivers that are nunya business.
Thanks so much for the help everyone.[/QUOTE
Honestly, I only use my trout switch for the lakes and long leaders. In the river for steelhead I use a switch 8wt, but my 9' rod worked just as well. For trout in rivers and throwing indicators, I use my 9' rods, but I wouldn't be opposed to throwing my switch.So I am looking at an Echo shadow 10ft 3 wt or a 10'6 4wt. Leaning more on the 4.

@Tony T formally known as Tony Pro?I think there is a guy on here who would be able to answer this question quite accurately. Tony...Tony..... Tony something or another.
thats great an all but a good rod indicator split shot rod has a soft butt and stiff tip.Just cuz a euro rod is sensitive at the tip doesn't mean it has no backbone. They are designed to have huge backbone in the butt for larger fish, while having a tip that is made to avoid breaking fish off.
They can toss indictators and dry flies as well.
So you don't think rod action preference is entirely subjective? Because it is, and you don't know everything.thats great an all but a good rod indicator split shot rod has a soft butt and stiff tip.
i dont really know anything. im just passing on what people who claim to know things have told me.So you don't think rod action preference is entirely subjective? Because it is, and you don't know everything.
