ECHO Compact Spey 6wt 12'0"

Our thoughts....

The Echo Compact Spey dances between worlds from heavy trout to light stealhead.  With a preferred a 420 grain Orvis Mission skagit head.  The Echo Compact 6wt is perfect for chasing browns and pike or throwing larger bugs.

Bottom line, if you spend most of your time chasing large trout and stealhead, swing rivers like the North Fork of the Salmon, Clark Fork, or Missouri, or just want a light two hand rod you can swing all day, the Echo Compact 6wt is your huckleberry.

Thoughts from Echo...

Casting two hand setups all day can get tiring. To maximize time on the water, anglers have been turning to shorter two-hand rods to play more and work less. Using lengths previously referred to as “switch rods”, we developed true spey actions that perfectly match up to today’s shorter head systems and compact casting techniques. If you’re needing to ease up on your casting workload or fish effectively in tight quarters, the new Compact Spey rods are here to answer the call.

• Four piece travel design
• Blank:  Lightweight high-modulus
• Action:  Med Fast
• Tube:  Fabric-covered rod case & sock
• Guides: SIC stripping guides and hard chrome snake guides
• Reel Seat:  Anodized aluminum
• Warranty:  Echo Lifetime Warranty

ECHO Full Spey 6wt 13'0"

• Blank:  Lightweight high-modulus

The new ECHO Full Spey rods are designed to allow a person to flick a Scandi cast off the rod tip and still crank out long casts with a Skagit Head. As it turns out, 13’0” matches today’s modern lines and is the most versatile length for those that want to fish larger rivers where covering water is the key to success.

Echo Lago 6wt 10'0"

People who fish lakes rely on an acute awareness of what depth their fly is and how fast it is moving. Because you rarely sight fish when in a float tube or boat, successful anglers are often the ones who cover the most water and keep their fly in the zone as long as possible. Being able to cast far and cover the most water, using a sinking line, are the halmark of the expert lake angler. The ECHO LAGO rods are designed to help extend your reach and make casting long lines easier.

To optimize casting while sitting, you want a rod that is light in the hand and as long as possible. A longer rod helps you keep your back cast off the water and helps you roll cast your line to the surface prior to making your next cast. Long rods help you when fishing long leaders and tippets even when fishing a nymph and indicator. We chose to make the rods 10 feet long which is the perfect balance between easy casting and maximum line speed. Because a full day on the water can mean thousands of casts the weight of the rod is a factor. We selected a blend of intermediate modulus graphite for the LAGO rods to help make them tough a forgiving when landing big fish while still keeping them light in the hand. Their modest tip power and a firm lower half allow a rod to perform using a wide range casting styles.

ECHO LAGO rods are 10’0” long and are bathed in gloss flash cobalt finish and are four piece for easy travel. It features a low maintenance anodized reel seat and the full wells handle has a modest curve to allow different grips while casting. It comes in sizes to cover all trout lake fishing situations.

Echo Trout X 6wt 9'0"

When do you use a six-weight rod for trout? Is it to throw small flies on a calm day? F*** no! You grab your six weight when you have wind, need to throw far, are throwing big, heavy flies, or when you are throwing big nymphs + indicator rigs. In almost every one of these situations, you want a firm six weight but not one that is overly stiff so you can initiate a cast and still feel the rod load. We chose to give the TROUT X 690, nine-foot six weight rod a line stiffness rating (LSR) of 6.5.

TROUT X 690 rod has a line stiffness rating (LSR) of 6.5 and has our VSS (Variable Sweet Spot) action. What you ask is our VSS action….. it is a rod action where every inch of the rod gets progressively stiffer as you move from the tip to the butt. This action has no large, sweet spot optimized for a cast of a specific distance. We think the VSS action offers good to expert casters the ability to adjust their stroke to the line speed they need for success. It is an action entry level anglers and beginner casters will grow into but is optimized for more advanced casters. If you have an aggressive casting stroke,you can use a lighter line on this rod and if you are a smooth long stroke caster you will like this rod with a heavier line.

To help the rod’s casting efficiency we did what we could to make the TROUT X rods light to help casting efficiency and to help protect light tippet. These rods are produced in a factory that has access to the latest and best carbon fiber material. We used lightweight guides and have done everything we can to shave weight from the rod to improve performance.

The rods are all four piece and a coated with mist green gloss finish. The matching tread color helps the rod blend into the environment and all the snake guides are chrome plated for less friction. SIC stripper guides help improve double haul efficiency and the extended half wells grip with a burl wood real seat so they are beautiful, light, and low maintenance.

Orvis Clearwater 6wt 9'6"

The Clearwater 6-Weight 9'6" Fly Rod is a superior boat or beach rod for both fresh and saltwater. In the front of a drift boat, the extra length allows for extended reach and superior mending capability to cover more water and keep dry-fly and dropper rig drifts going for extended periods of time. On the beach for schoolie stripers or sitting in a kayak for smallies, the extra length helps in keeping backcasts out of the water or off the beach. With a medium-fast action and an exceptional price, the Clearwater 966-4 is a versatile addition to any quiver.

The new Clearwater Rod Series is not just a cosmetic facelift, but a complete overhaul from the ground up by our Vermont rod designers. Everything has changed except the value. It's still the best fly rod you can buy for the money, but with a significant upgrade in performance and looks in a comprehensive series that covers every angler from small stream addicts to Skagit slinging two-handers. Each rod was designed with a purpose-built profile and action to handle the kind of fishing the rod model would be traditionally used for, from medium-action small stream rods to medium-fast freshwater rods and fast-action big game rods.
