The Echo2 Saltwater series of fly rods were designed by Tim Rajeff to do what every chaser of big fish needs most in a fly rod; cast large flies, give the wind something to howl at, survive the rigors of serious fishing, and have the backbone to play tug-o-war with Moby Dick.
No one wants to stick it to Dick with an ugly fly rod, so Tim paid special attention to the components and made the Echo2 rods a beautiful thing to look at as well. The Echo2 Saltwater rods feature top of the line components; high grade cork handles, extra hard stripper guides with "illusion plasma coating system" in titanium coated frames, hard chrome snake guides, and a deep blue gloss finish. The #12 has a unique removable EVA foam fighting grip for really putting the pressure on. Poor Moby doesn't stand a chance.
To further put the competition on the defensive, every Echo2 rod comes with two tips; one tip marked "A" for accuracy, and another marked "D" for distance. Each tip has a distinct action to help you further achieve your casting needs.
