ECHO Classic Fly Rods

The ECHO family of rods was made to deliver the performance found in the highest priced rods available today. Each specific rod is designed separately for it's intended use in order to maximize casting effectiveness and performance.

All ECHO rods are 4 piece rods with a gloss deep emerald finish, ceramic stripper guides and single foot snake guides. Depending on the model handles are Half or Full Wells grips with mortised, impregnated hardwood reel seats or anodized aluminum reel seats.

  All fly rods below have this handle:

 
           
We consider the ECHO 7'6" #3 the best 3 weight on the market. This little rod is a "True" 3 weight--with a smooth, even action built to present a three weight line properly to those beautiful brookies and goldens.
         
         
The ECHO 8'0" #4 rods mission is to provide a tippet protecting light trout rod. Its medium fast configuration is easy to cast up close and still has enough punch for medium to long casts. At 8'0" it is the perfect balance between a creek / small river rod and a lake / larger river rod.
         
 
         
The ECHO 9'0" #5 is designed to cover a large range of fishing conditions. It is a medium fast plus action. The combination of power and action delivers a cast up close by employing its light tip-while the high powered butt section can chuck the fly a country mile. Every fishing situation demands a different fly and tactic while every fisherperson has a different casting style and physique-the Echo 9'0" #5 was designed to meet these various needs.
         
 
         
The ECHO 9'0" #6 rod is ready to conquer the challenges of larger fish and longer line. Its action is the same as the #5 but in a stiff # 6 design. People who have fished the #6 for trout love the light tip and steelheaders love the powerful butt section.
         
 
         
  All fly rods below have this handle:

 
           
If you are on your ass in a tube, or chasing steelhead in skinny water you will love the ECHO 10’ #6 rod. It is medium stiff and has a fast action. This combination helps form good loops up close but has plenty of power to launch long casts. The rod is produced from graphite that is designed to handle the stress of landing fish on long rods. All 10’ rods come with a full wells grip and a standard fighting butt.
         
         
The ECHO 9'0" #7 rod is nearing the final steps of design and field-testing. The rod feels light in the hand but is deceptively powerful. It is designed to throw bugs to bass, streamers in rivers as well as take the abuse of flats saltwater fishing. With a medium fast plus action and medium stiff power level it will be a comfortable rod to cast all day.
         
 
         
The ECHO 10'0" #7 follows in the footsteps of the #6 rod with a fast action and medium stiff construction. It has the backbone to work larger water with larger flies but still is a favorite of the serious trout fisherman who prefers fishing from a boat. Steelhead fishermen looking for the perfect seven-weight rod need no longer search, this is it!
         
           
The design team had to reach deep to come up with a rod that would chuck a mouse to big rainbows, a low water green butt skunk to steelhead and Atlantic salmon , a deerhead frog to some feller with a big mouth and cover a bone from a boat or on foot. The ECHO 9'0" #8 pulls it off!! It is a medium fast plus rod with a medium stiff plus power level. By staying just (and I mean just) below the fast / stiff configuration the ECHO 9'0" #8 can flick a short cast w/o working hard and still drive a cast into a blow. If you are looking for an all around #8 rod stop looking.
         
           
Bambi meets Godzilla. The ECHO 10'0" #8 rod is a cannon. With big flies, big fish, and long casts in mind the 10 #8 rod has the same fast action but is built with more power than most #8 rods. The extra power comes in handy when stopping big fish on the run. It’s thick walled construction ads needed strength to the rod.
         
           
The ECHO 9'0" #9 rod was designed with fewer tasks in mind than the #8. It is a fast action stiff rod. Its goal is to load up close and then, with the benefit of a fast / stiff rod, drive a tight loop halfway across the ocean. The target for the 9'0" #9 ECHO was to fish in striper territory w/o missing the need to deliver heavy crabs to tough permit. Clousers and bunker flies need to be cast at higher speed to overcome the laws of gravity and air resistance and the 9'0" #9 ECHO will do so when called upon.
         
           
All fly rods below have this handle:
           
The ECHO 9'0" #10 is the largest of the ECHO family. People who need to throw heavy lines ask for fast stiff rods. The ECHO 9'0" #10 will provide the casting power and raw lifting power you need to cast heavy flies to big Tarpon or wrestling big stripers to the boat. The rod is a medium fast plus action with a stiff power level that can bring big fish to their knees (if they actually had knees). It has a large-diameter fighting butt in anticipation of long hard battles.
