hi guys, My friend Jerry John is big into two handed spey rods. When I last saw him I casted his 12ft Echo 5wt. Needless to say I was hooked, I liked the smooth, soft action and the fact that it was a light line. I'm considering buying one to play around with, I want a soft action and something like a four or five weight, and in the medium price range ($200-$300) just to play around with and get a feel for it. Any suggestions??

Thanks, kyle
