ECHO SR 4wt Complete Trout Spey Outfit

What's included: ECHO SR 4wt 10'6", Orvis Battenkill Disc IV 7/9wt reel, OPST Lazar 35lb running line, OPST Commando Head 275 grain, 4 Rio i/MOW tips and one OPST Floating TIp.

Through our own research and input from renowned professional guides we have put together a trout spey outfit that will truly perform on the water.

Gear List:

Rod: Starting with the ECHO SR Switch 4wt at 10'6", the SR is characterized by a smooth yet powerful action.

Reel (Dealers Choice) Orvis Battenkill Disc IV or Echo Ion 7/9:

• Option 1: Orvis Battenkill Disc IV 7/9wt.  In order to balance the SR 3wt we had to go with the Disc version instead of the Click-Pawl so the rod felt just right in hand at 5.9 ounces.  Built out of aircraft 6061 T-6 aluminum, Battenkill reels will last a lifetime and taking a beating.
• Option 2: Echo Ion 7/9wt.  It would be hard to argue that there is a better reel on the market today at the price point of the Echo Ion.  Built from a durable alloy the Ion carries a 12 month warranty and is a more affordable option that will last years to come.

Running Line: Having fished every running line under the sun we have found OPST Lazar line to be the best shooting line out there.

Head:  What can we say, OPST has become the industry leader in trout spey lines for good reason.  Fewer grains are necessary than other skagit head on the market due to the heads profile thus adding a little grace and better presentation.

Tips:  Yes 4 tips! 

• 4 Tip Kit – OPST Float 10’ 50 gr | 3D MOW 80 gr: (INT/S3/S4 • S3/S4/S5 • S5/S6/S7)

Echo Streamer X-790

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!

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

1. Orvis Mission 360 grain with 3 x Mission T-8 Tip Kit and 40lb Lazar Running Line
2. OPST Commando 300 grain with 3 x Rio 3D Light MOW Tip Kit and 40lb Lazar Running Line

Echo TR2 3wt 11'0" Trout Spey Outfit

Choose between two lines systems, Orvis Mission or OPST Skagit.

Here at Raft and Fly we have spent hundreds of hours researching the perfect line setups for each two hand rod we carry.  The Echo TR2 is no exception, and frankly it is an absolute blast to swing!

The Echo TR2 4wt has become a cult favorite among two hand fly casters since it's inception.  With a deep load and an incredible amount of reserve power, you can feel the Echo TR2 initiate launch casting a mile.

There are two line systems we recommend for the Echo TR2 4wt. 

1.  Orvis Mission 310 gr. skagit head paired with the Mission T-8, 8' Tips

2.  OPST Commando 250 gr. skagit head paired with Rio T-8 10' MOW Tips.

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.
