ECHO Glass Switch and Spey

With so many manufacturers barking the benefits of increasingly faster actions, it’s not surprising that veteran rod designer Tim Rajeff would ask “why follow the flock”?

All-new for 2015, Echo introduces the first major production run of fiberglass Spey and Switch rods in the industry. Why fiberglass? Good question. Fiberglass recovers more smoothly than graphite, giving the caster a better sensation of how the line is loading the rod. Improved feedback through the casting cycle results in a fun, effortless, bug launching.

Echo Glass Spey and Switch rods feature sensitive tips to protect tippet when slinging surface patterns on a dry line, and plenty of “sneaky power” to catapult long, heavy sink tips with ultimate ease. Steelheaders looking to increase their “hook-to-hand” ratio will be impressed with the way these rods absorb the energy of active, unpredictable fish.

The Echo Glass Switch and Spey series is available now in the following weights/lengths:
