Echo E.P.R. Rod
A rod for big flies, big fish and big winds
Big game fisheries require a rod that can handle the big stuff. Whether it’s casting chicken-sized muskie flies, fighting heavy winds, or dealing with the fury of a GT, the EPR has delivered.
Extra-fast action and massive power
With its super-fast tip, it will load for short distance shots. When it’s distance or heavy lifting you need to do, its powerful bottom section will more than deliver the goods.
Our fastest, most powerful rod we have ever produced
Working with bass and muskie guru Pat Ehlers, we produced our fastest, most powerful rod we have ever produced.
Action vs Power Comparison
Action:
Fast action rods feature softer tips than medium action rods and provide a ‘stiffer’ feel. Fast action rods excel in the hands of anglers with more aggressive casting strokes and greater stroke control. Medium action rods are ideal for anglers with more fluid casting strokes and have a larger ‘sweet spot’ for a wider range of casting strokes. Consistently throwing a tailing loop? Your rod’s action may not be a good fit to you and your casting stroke.
Power:
A rod’s power is its resistance to flexing under load. Powerful rods are ‘beefier’ through the bottom half, generate higher line speeds, and are more adept at keeping big fish pinned. Delicate rods are more presentation-oriented, protect light tippet, and are a better choice for picky fish.
