Echo Full Spey 13'0" Outfit

To allow someone to fish all day in all conditions requires rods that are light in the hand and well balanced. 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.

There are two line systems we recommend for the Echo Full Spey.

Which system is right for you?

While we can't tell you which line system you'll prefer without you visiting our shop, we can outline the difference between the two.

Option 1 - OPST Commando Lighter than most....

The OPST Commando head will feel lighter in hand throughout your cast.  It is 85 fewer grain than the Orvis Mission head after all!  OPST accomplishes this through what is commonly referred to as line stick.  Commando heads are thicker than other heads creating more surface area to come into contact with the water.  This is what we call line stick and allows the angler to set their anchor building the kinetic energy to load the rod and propel the line and fly to it's intended target. 

Option 2 - Orvis Mission Skagit Head

If you read nothing else, read this... Easy to cast

Orvis might be new to the two hand line game, but they have made an incredible entrance with their new Mission Skagit Head. 

While companies such as OPST have created lines which are lighter, the Orvis Mission gets back to basics, meaning it takes mass to move mass though still lighter than other lines from Rio.  The Orvis Mission's extra weight carries the line further and with more stability, translating into tighter loops and more distance. 

Still not sure which line to choose? 

If you want a line that loads deeper go with the Orvis Mission. 

If you want a line that feels lighter or might be used on your single hand 8wt 9' rod or 7wt 10' (see our Echo Ion single hand kits...) then go OPST.

Echo Streamer X-890

Fishing for big trout using streamers is evolving at unapparelled pace. One of the people pushing the envelope of equipment and technique is Kelly Galloup. Building flies that look more at home in the ocean that a trout river Kelly has developed specific equipment to fish larger bulky flies efficiently. He wanted a rod that can quickly deliver a cast to a target the size of a coffee cup using a big fly and sinking line. Rods that can get the job done are ones with powerful bottom sections mated to faster tip actions to help initiate the cast with a minimum of false casts. Since it is all but impossible to pick up and recast a 50-foot shot with a fast sinking lines the new StreamerX rods have been optimized to easily pick up a short line with a bulky fly and in a few false cases hit a small target.

To accomplish the task Kelly asked for a rod with with several upgrades from his former Bank Robber signature rod.

Upgrades

• Thinner and faster tip for animating the fly and detect strikes for hook set.
• Flex in the mid section of the rod to open up the cast and throw tighter loops.
• A faster butt section. This is where the bulk of the kinetic energy is created and stored to deliver the fly on the forward stroke.  Work smart not hard and deliver flies with the greatest efficiency.

StreamerX rods are all 9’ long and come in a 6, 7, and 8 weight. They have all titanium guides and Kelly’s favorite handle shape. They come with a hard case and are 4 pieces to travel well.

With Kelly’s custom handle shape, powerful bottom section and fast loading top section, this rod is build top to bottom for big flies and accuracy.  If current conditions call for smaller flies, it will continue to surprise you with its versatility!

• Four piece travel design
• Action:  Fast
• Tube:  Fabric-covered rod case & sock
• Guides: Oversized stripping guides
• Grips:  Kelly Galloup custom grip
• Reel Seat:  Anodized aluminum

TFO BC Big Fly 8wt 9'0" Fly Rod

Extra-Fast Action | Freshwater | Saltwater

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.
