ESN rods – I am sure that the Echo Shadow is a fine ESN rod. I have had several now and have traded them out. I had the Redington and Moonshine but now own the TFO Stealth rod.
I like the TFO – good balance and light weight. My moonshine seemed to be “handle heavy”. The balance is important because you will be fishing with your shoulder extended most of the time. I recommend if you are buying it only for ESN to get a 10″6″ rod length. If you may think about changing out back to dry fly fishing or swinging small flies, I would think about a 10′ rod. My rod is TFO 10’6″ ESN rod. I only use it for ESN.
