Tiny Baetis mayflies are perhaps the most commonly encountered and imitated by anglers on all American trout streams due to their great abundance, widespread distribution, and trout-friendly emergence habits.

I have a Redington 10' 6" #6 I like for swinging flies for Great Lakes steelhead. I didn't buy it as a combo though. I use an older Orvis SSS reel on it with a Rio #6 switch line. Can easily switch cast 75 feet with it. The text below is direct from the Redington web site;

I have the echo fiberglass 7 wt. switch rod, pretty neat. Im not sure its still available, I have two echo ion reels, one has airflo Skagit, and the other has rio switch chucker. I have not used it much, but I hope to remedy that soon.
Mike.
