Echo2 Saltwater Rods

The Echo2 Saltwater series of fly rods were designed by Tim Rajeff to do what every chaser of big fish needs most in a fly rod; cast large flies, give the wind something to howl at, survive the rigors of serious fishing, and have the backbone to play tug-o-war with Moby Dick.

No one wants to stick it to Dick with an ugly fly rod, so Tim paid special attention to the components and made the Echo2 rods a beautiful thing to look at as well. The Echo2 Saltwater rods feature top of the line components; high grade cork handles, extra hard stripper guides with "illusion plasma coating system" in titanium coated frames, hard chrome snake guides, and a deep blue gloss finish. The #12 has a unique removable EVA foam fighting grip for really putting the pressure on. Poor Moby doesn't stand a chance.

To further put the competition on the defensive, every Echo2 rod comes with two tips; one tip marked "A" for accuracy, and another marked "D" for distance. Each tip has a distinct action to help you further achieve your casting needs.

That’s right, each Echo2 rod comes with 2 tips: a tip marked A, optimized for accuracy, and a tip marked D, designed for distance. The distance tip is the stiffer of the two. Use it to lift sinking lines to the surface and throw longer lines more easily. Use it if you have a more aggressive casting stroke. The accuracy tip is softer and allows the rod to load with less line for close-range presentations. It is the preferred tip for casters who want to “feel the rod load” sooner in the casting stroke and take full advantage of the Echo2’s overall power.

All Echo2 rods share a number of high-performance features, including:

Intermediate-modulus blanks for exceptional durability and strength-to-weight ratio

Titanium-coated stripper guide frames with extra-hard Illusion Plasma-coated inserts

Hard-Chrome snake guides

High-grade cork grips and fighting butts shaped appropriately for each application
