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.

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 Glass Spey 6wt 11'10"

Fly fishing wasn’t always as rock ‘n roll as it is now.   There was a time when it was an easier, quieter sport, a place for positive reflection, a peaceful pursuit of tranquility.  They both have their place in our little world of fun–you can still bang out eight inch streamers for browns with a stiff rod and an aggressively tapered line, all while listening to Anthrax.  But sometimes it’s just as fun to slow down, relax, and maybe sip some scotch while waiting for your rod to load and swinging an easy riffle.

Anglers all over have been asking us to bring back those slower, smoother tokens of the past, the Echo Fiberglass Spey rods.  Tim took his time with the designs on the new versions, appropriately, and gave us a rod that effectively couples the benefits of glass with modern casting techniques and lines.  And while the rods are a little more Tom Waits than Louis Armstrong now, they are 100% fun.

Tim used S2 glass and increased blank diameters with thinner walls to improve rod recovery and lower the blank weight.  This provides increased performance without sacrificing the “fun” of glass, and allows anglers to more effectively fish short spey heads.  By using rod lengths on the shorter end of the two-hand rod spectrum, the new Echo Fiberglass Spey rods feel crisper and generate more line speed without sacrificing the “why is my handle flexing?” feel of traditional glass spey rods.  Additionally, S2 glass fibers have increased elongation compared to graphite, which allows the angler to maintain maximum pressure on fish without worrying about pulling the hooks or snapping tippet.
