Maximum Line Control

A drift is only as good as your control over it.  With its 9’6″ – 10’6″ length and responsive action, the ECHO Indicator is designed for maximum line control to set up those long, drag-free drifts.



Action and power for casting heavy nymph rigs

There’s a lot more to cast with nymph rigs vs conventional dry and wet fly fishing.  The Indicator rod is designed to load in to its powerful lower sections to give added power when needed.  Whether roll-casting or casting overhead, there is ample power and recovery to get those heavy rigs to their target.

Essential Sizes and Lengths

There are three sizes including a 9’6″ 6wt, 10′ 6wt and 10′ 7wt.  The rods feature semi gloss brown finish.   Every rod is 4 piece and comes with a hard case and rod sock.



Action vs Power Comparison

The Action vs. Power matrix is used for comparison between ECHO rod models. Utilizing this chart, you’ll be able to choose an ECHO rod that best fits you and your personal casting stroke. The vertical axis indicates the rod’s power, while the horizontal axis indicates the rod’s action. In simple terms, single-hand rod action is derived from the top half of the rod, while power is derived from the bottom half.

 

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.
