Echo or blue halo. I'm a bit of a rod snob, but I love these two builders. Both make a fantastic fiberglass rod but Echo builds a solid little 7'6" carbon 3 wt that happens to be one of my all time favorites. If you can find an Orvis Access full flex 3wt, that is also a good one.

Obviously, go cast whatever you can get your hands on. There are a few TFO rods that are more moderate than the Pro series. Check with Green Trout fly shop, he should be able to hook you up.

Thanks for the input. The blue halo's are great looking rods, and I've seen really good reviews, but I'd have trouble putting down $280 for a rod with no warranty. They do have an awesome instagram page so there's that haha. I'll look into the Echo's. I still haven't been down to Green Trout and I live less than a mile from there. That may be on the agenda tomorrow.

Don't you have an 8 wt. Heliod H2? How do like it. Asking because I have the opportunity to pick one up and I'm kicking around an 8 wt or 12 wt...maybe even a 14 wt for offshore use.
I have a Recon 8 wt and enjoy the rod, how different is it from the Helios?
