The 84B is Tim Rajeff’s answer to the need for a rod that can cast big flies accurately in adverse conditions. The rod was developed with bass anglers in mind and was tested extensively on smallies and largemouth. Quick pickup and minimal false casting makes this the ultimate rod for ambush species.
The ECHO Bad Ass Glass is a glimpse into the future of fiberglass rod design: faster, lighter, and more powerful than ‘glass has ever been. The QuickShot model helps casters come through their stroke quicker and allows lighting-fast shots to moving fish. Available in #6 through #10, there is a Bad Ass Glass QuickShot to fit your big fish situation. “Slow” and “Glass” are no longer one-in-the-same.
You asked and we delivered. The Boost Beach was designed for overhead casting to surf-dwelling species on both coasts. Halibut, perch, stripers and SRCs beware: the Boost Beach allows anglers to hit bigger casts with less effort than ever before. Designed to load at 230 grain lines (6wt), 265 grain lines (7wt), and 300 grains lines (8wt).
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.
Saltwater-grade rods in this price category are usually better utilized as a coat hanger than a fishing tool. The Ion XL series does not fit that mold. Featuring a remarkably low swing-weight and a more forgiving action, the Ion XL is equally at home stripping flesh flies as it is dropping a merkin to a tailing permit. All models feature salt corrosion-resistant componentry.

NEW FOR 2017! The ultimate in versatility. The missing link between one hand rods and spey rods. Combined with a short Skagit head, these rods allow you to add a double haul to your spey cast. High modulus graphite makes the rod more efficient while casting and is light in the hand. The rod comes with a traditional fighting butt and a 2 ½” spey rear grip in case you want to give your casting hand a rest. Longer lengths provide additional leverage when fish are hiding in the next zip code.
Designed specifically for casting “real world” saltwater distances
Available in 2pc and 4pc designs
Improve accuracy and efficiency
If you ask around, the ideal saltwater rod is one that will help you hit your target with the minimum number of false casts. When targeting flats fish, things happen quickly and usually in the 40 to 60 foot “kill zone.” Everything about an ECHO PRIME rod has been optimized to help you succeed in the zone.
Its easy-loading tip section and condensed 8’10” length set it up to cycle through the cast quicker with less effort. Modest power levels enhance feel during the cast but don’t give out on long shots. From the lightweight guides at the tip of the rod, to the multi-zone handle shape, to the no pinch point fighting butt, every inch of the rods has been engineered to help you get the fly to the target and help you when you get the grab.
Four piece rods are available from an 8wt to 12wt. Two piece rods have the same action as their four piece cousins and are available in 8, 10, and 11 wt. models. These stealthy rods are our most all-around capable saltwater rod we have ever designed.

Fast actions and versatile sizes make the SR series the best stick for two-handed bug slingers that prefer a shorter rod.

Slick cosmetics and bombproof componentry help solidify the SR as the fishiest switch rod on the water.

Designed in conjunction with Advisory Staffer Blane Chocklett, the BC Big Fly rod is the perfect tool to deliver the biggest flies to the meanest fish.
We used our highest modulus material and Axiom technology to redefine performance in an extremely powerful fly rod. Unlike other “stiff” rods, the BC Big Fly delivers both the energy necessary for long casts as well as incredible tracking and recovery, resulting in superior accuracy at distance.
The BC Big Fly features a modified, composite cork full-wells grip and an extended, IGFA-compliant fighting butt for picking up and casting large, Game Changer style flies and heavy lines. This extended grip also helps anglers better execute the circular or figure-eight style of moving a fly near the surface.
Big fish put a toll on fly rods. That is why we utilized the highest quality Black Pearl RECOIL guides by REC and ultra-lightweight black single-foot snake guides on the BC Big Fly. All rods also feature a built-in hook keeper and an engraved Game Changer style fly logo on the reel seat.
BC Big Fly Rod comes in three weights, an 8, 10 and 12-weight to handle flies from three to 12+ inches.
All BC Big Fly rods are packaged in a labeled rod sock and rod tube.
